VFI - Continuous Band Sealer

Applications & Use Cases

• Sealing bags for dry food products such as snacks, grains, and powders.
• Packaging confectionery and baked goods in a continuous flow.
• Creating hermetic seals for non-food items like small parts or textiles.
• Used in production lines requiring high-volume bag sealing.

Typical Specifications

Typical sealing speed

Typically ranges from 5 to 12 metres per minute, depending on bag material and product.

Power supply

Commonly operates on a single-phase 230V, 50Hz supply, with some industrial units requiring three-phase.

Bag material compatibility

Typically suitable for a wide range of thermoplastic materials including PE, PP, laminated films, and foil bags.

Seal width

Commonly features a seal width of 8-12mm, providing a robust closure.

Temperature range

Sealing temperatures are typically adjustable up to 300°C for various film types.

Conveyor type

For this class of equipment, an integrated conveyor system is standard, with variable speed control.

Footprint

A continuous band sealer with a 1500mm conveyor typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 0.5m, plus operational clearance.
