A Vertical Form Fill and Seal (VFFS) machine is an advanced packaging solution designed to efficiently fill, form, and seal products in a single continuous process. The system utilizes large rolls of plastic film that are unwound and passed through a forming tube, where they are shaped into bags, filled with the desired product, and then sealed securely.
The VFFS Bagging machine operates by feeding a continuous roll of flat plastic film, which may be blank or pre-labelled with artwork. The film travels through a conical forming tube, where the outer edges are drawn around the tube and sealed to create a pouch. A vertical heat-sealing jaw bonds the film by melting the edges together, ensuring a secure closure.
To begin the bagging process, a horizontal sealing bar creates the "Bottom Seal" by clamping across the bottom edge of the forming tube, bonding the film and cutting off any excess material. Sealing bars can either be fixed (intermittent sealing) or move continuously with the bag (continuous motion), depending on the machine's speed and design.
For delicate products such as potato chips, the bag can be inflated with an inert gas like nitrogen. This not only helps preserve the product by reducing the potential for crushing but also slows bacterial growth by displacing oxygen, extending the shelf life. Additionally, we offer custom finishes such as hole-punching for retail display hanging racks.
The bag cutting and material feeding processes can be controlled based on pouch length or indexed via photo-registration marks detected by a sensor, ensuring precise and accurate packaging.
In addition to VFFS machines, we also provide a range of Pouch Packaging Machines, ideal for filling and sealing pre-made pouches in a continuous motion. These machines can be supplied as single pouch fillers or multi-station setups with up to 8 stations for high-volume production.
While plastic is the most commonly used material for packaging, our technology can also accommodate a variety of other materials, including metallised foil, paper, and fabric, by adapting the edge sealing methods to suit different substrates.
Whether you're looking to upgrade your production line or enhance packaging capabilities, Total Food Machines offers tailored solutions to meet your needs.
