Ohlson - VFFS Bagger Outfeed Conveyor

• Transferring bagged products from VFFS machines to downstream packaging or inspection.
• Integrating with checkweighers and metal detectors for quality control.
• Accumulating finished bags before manual or automated case packing.
• Facilitating gentle handling of fragile products post-bagging.

Typical capacity

Throughput commonly aligns with VFFS machine speeds, typically 20-120 bags per minute, depending on bag size and product.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase 230V, 50Hz supply, with some larger systems requiring three-phase.

Conveyor belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC or PU, suitable for various product types and hygiene standards.

Frame construction

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning, particularly in food processing environments.

Adjustability

Height and angle are typically adjustable to integrate with different VFFS machines and subsequent equipment.

Footprint

Dimensions vary significantly, but a typical outfeed conveyor might be 1.5m to 3m in length and 0.5m to 1m in width.

• What type of products can this conveyor handle?

  This class of conveyor is suitable for handling a wide range of bagged products, including snacks, powders, granules, and small components, post-VFFS bagging.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• Can this conveyor be integrated with other packaging machinery?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of conveyor?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer conveyors?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
