Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines Vertical Form Fill & Seal Machines (VFFS) Vertical Form Fill and Seal Machines are engineered to deliver high speed automated packaging for a wide range of industries and are ideal for both food and non-food products. The process starts with a cylindrical roll of film. The VFFS transfers film from the roll and through the forming shoulder (sometimes referred to as tube or collar). Once transferred through the shoulder, the film then folds and the vertical seal bar extends to seal the back of the bag. Once the desired bag length is fed it is filled with product. Once filled, the horizontal seal bars close, seal and cut the bag providing a finished product that includes a bag with top/bottom horizontal seals and one vertical back seal. With models that produce vertical packs or bags from as small as 25 mm wide or others that form bags up to 300 mm wide, and models for high speed bagging applications up to 100 cycles per minute, we have a Vertical Form Fill Seal Machine to suit most needs. Configuration choices include: ƒ minimum and maximum width of finished bags ƒ operating speed required measured in number of cycles per minute Ideal for efficiently packing: ƒ food products such as; fresh produce, herbs and spices, grains, tea and coffee, snack food, cheese, frozen foods, confectionery, pet food, the list is endless ƒ non-food goods such as; componentry, hardware Features: ƒ models capable of forming, filling and sealing laminated, metalised or polyethylene materials ƒ colour touch screen operator panels ƒ easy film threading from back to front of the machine and around the forming tube ƒ easy access for servicing and cleaning ƒ separate servo motors to drive the film pull belts and operate the seal jaws, providing complete digital control that optimises speed and accuracy ƒ high grade stainless steel frame construction ƒ clamps for quick tool-less removal of forming shoulder and tube ƒ motor operated film unwind assembly with tension roller for precise film tension control ƒ separately activated knife for film cutting ƒ multi choice pre-programmed sequence of operation, seal above or below seal jaws ƒ three separate digital temperature controls integrated into a user-friendly touch screen ƒ eye mark for film registration ƒ auto film tracking system ƒ air bellows for easy film roll holding Additional modules available: ƒ PE film sealing jaws ƒ bag support device for heavy or sharp products ƒ static eliminator used to remove static from film before sealing powder products ƒ air expel device for squeezing excess air out of packets before sealing them ƒ material stopper prevents further product from falling and catching in seal jaws ƒ film tracking device that auto adjusts the film carriage and keeps film lined up with the forming shoulder ƒ gusset device for creating a gusset bag ƒ gas flush for MAP or nitrogen flushing of packets ƒ hole punch required to create hanging holes or sombrero holes in the top of bags ƒ tear notch for easy opening of packets ƒ water resistance upgrade ƒ protective top plate recommended to protect the machine from water if in a wet environment or if water will be used for cleaning VFFS Forming Shoulders (Tubes) Forming shoulders, or forming tubes, are at the heart of all Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines. They are the component that controls the size and type of bag being formed and the type and direction of back seal (bag seam). We’ll ensure the right forming shoulder for your packaging needs is specified as part of our indepth evaluation process. Weighing Scales. Packaging Equipment. Labelling Equipment. Labels.
