What are the benefits of ultrasonic sealing?

Ultrasonic sealing creates strong, airtight seals without heat, which can be beneficial for heat-sensitive products or specific film types. It also often results in cleaner seals and reduced energy consumption compared to thermal sealing.

Can this machine handle different bag sizes?

Yes, VFFS machines like this are designed to handle a range of bag sizes by changing forming tubes and adjusting settings. The maximum bag width is typically limited by the jaw width and sonitrode.

Is this type of machine suitable for a wet room environment?

Units specified for the food industry, particularly those with stainless steel construction and appropriate electrical enclosures, are commonly designed to operate in wet or washdown environments.

What kind of maintenance is typically required?

Routine maintenance for VFFS machines includes checking and replacing wear parts, lubrication, cleaning, and calibration of sensors and sealing components. Regular servicing ensures optimal performance and longevity.

What is an auto-splicer?

An auto-splicer automatically joins a new roll of film to an expiring one without stopping the machine, significantly reducing downtime and increasing operational efficiency.
