What is a Sandiacre TG 250 LD?

The Sandiacre TG 250 LD is a model of vertical form fill seal (VFFS) packaging machine. It forms bags from a roll of film, fills them with product, and then seals them.

What is a multi-head weigher and why is it included?

A multi-head weigher (like the Yamato ADW 713RB) accurately weighs and dispenses the product into the bags formed by the VFFS machine. It is crucial for achieving precise fill weights at high speeds.

What are 'forming sets'?

Forming sets (or formers) are interchangeable components on a VFFS machine that dictate the width and style of the bag being produced. Different forming sets are required for different bag sizes.

What is the purpose of a checkweigher and metal detector?

A checkweigher verifies that each packaged item meets the specified weight tolerance, while a metal detector identifies and rejects products containing metallic contaminants, ensuring product safety and quality control.

Can this type of line handle different products?

Yes, with appropriate forming sets, programming adjustments, and potentially different feeding systems, a line of this nature can typically be adapted to package a range of free-flowing products within its operational parameters.

Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.

Packaging of confectionery and snack foods.
Automated bagging of free-flowing granular or small solid products.
Integration into complete packaging lines for retail-ready products.
High-speed primary packaging operations in food processing.

Typical throughput: For this class of equipment, output commonly ranges from 60 to 100 packs per minute, depending on product and pack size.
Power supply: Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate air pressure for pneumatic components.
Bag types: Vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machines like the Sandiacre TG 250 LD are designed to produce pillow bags, gusseted bags, or block bottom bags from a roll of film.
Film material compatibility: Typically compatible with various heat-sealable film laminates, including polypropylene, polyethylene, and metallised films.
Footprint: A VFFS machine alone will require a footprint of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, with additional space needed for ancillary equipment such as multi-head weighers and conveyors.
Control system: Commonly features PLC control with a touchscreen HMI for setting parameters and monitoring operation.

Filling machines remain sought-after on the secondhand market due to their durability and long operational lifespan. Buyers typically value models from established manufacturers known for robust construction. When purchasing used units, inspectors should verify seal integrity, calibration accuracy, and maintenance history, as these directly affect product consistency and line efficiency. Common strengths include straightforward mechanical design facilitating repairs and adaptability to different container sizes. Reliability and minimal downtime are frequently cited priorities among processors seeking cost-effective production solutions.
