Ohlson - VFFS Bagger Outfeed Conveyor

• Transporting bagged products away from Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machines.
• Integrating with downstream packaging equipment such as checkweighers or case packers.
• Facilitating manual inspection or packing stations for finished goods.
• Used in food processing for snacks, confectionery, frozen foods, and dry goods.
• Applicable in non-food industries for hardware, pet food, and granular products.

Typical capacity

Throughput is typically matched to the VFFS machine, commonly handling 30-120 bags per minute.

Power supply

Commonly 230V, single-phase, 50Hz, with a low power draw for the motor.

Conveyor belt material

Typically food-grade PVC or PU, suitable for direct contact with packaged goods.

Frame construction

Often stainless steel for hygiene and durability, especially in food environments.

Adjustability

Units commonly feature adjustable height and angle to integrate with various VFFS machines and downstream equipment.

Belt width

Typically ranges from 200mm to 400mm, depending on the maximum bag width it is designed to handle.
