They utilize volumetric fillers, weighers, or combination scales to measure and dispense the granules into the packaging bags.
Liquid Vertical Form Fill Seal Packing Machines: Designed for liquid products, these machines package a wide range of liquids, including beverages, sauces, oils, dairy products, and personal care liquids. Liquid VFFS machines employ liquid pumps or piston fillers to ensure accurate filling and sealing of the liquid product in the bags, often incorporating special sealing techniques to prevent leakage.
Paste vertical filler and sealer is a mechanical device used to package pasty or viscous materials. It can complete the filling, sealing and sealing operations of materials. This machine is usually used in the food, cosmetics, medicine and other industries to package products such as sauces, pastes, jelly, etc.
How do vertical form fill seal packing machines work?
Vertical form fill seal packing machines work by using a continuous roll of packaging material to form a vertical tube, fill it with the product, seal it, and cut it into individual bags or pouches. The machine unwinds the packaging material, forms it into a tube, fills the product into the tube, seals it using heat or other methods, and then cuts and separates the sealed bags or pouches. These machines offer high-speed and efficient packaging, can handle various bag sizes and packaging materials, and are widely used in industries for automated packaging solutions.
Packaging machines with different motion modes
Intermittent motion packaging machines are suitable for packaging one item or a group of items at a time, and are suitable for packaging tasks with small batches or low frequency of changes. It has reliable and consistent intermittent motion and can package pillow bags, 3 side seal bags, 4 side seal bags and stick bags.
Continuous motion packaging machines are suitable for high-speed packaging lines and large-volume packaging tasks, and can achieve high efficiency, continuous production and automated operation. It has high-speed, reliable continuous motion. It can package pillow bags, side-supported pillow bags, 4-corner block bottom bags, block bottom bags, 4-corner seal bags, stick bags
