How do Vertical Packing(VFFS) Machines Work?

Vertical packaging machines use a single sheet of film material rolled around a core, usually referred to as rollstock. The continuous length of packaging material is referred to as the film web. This material can vary from polyethylene, cellophane laminates, foil laminates and paper laminates. The roll of film is placed on a spindle assembly at the rear of the machine.

When the VFFS packaging machine is operating, the film is usually pulled off the roll by film transport belts, which are positioned to the side of the forming tube which is located at the front of the machine.

From here, the film enters a forming tube assembly. As it crests the shoulder (collar) on the forming tube, it is folded around the tube so that the end result is a length of film with the two outer edges of the film overlapping each other. This is the beginning of the bag forming process.

Now the film will briefly pause (on intermittent motion packaging machines) so the formed bag can receive its vertical seal. The vertical seal bar, which is hot, moves forward and makes contact with the vertical overlap on the film, bonding the layers of film together.

Next, a set of heated horizontal sealing jaws come together to make the top seal of one bag.

Below is the bag sample that we made.

Why you can't directly measure the torque output of a capping machine?

As you might expect, we discuss torque with our customers every day. People certainly have a lot of questions about how to measure torque. They want to make sure that the proper torque is applied to the cap. So naturally, many people who are new to caps want to find a way to directly measure the torque output of their capping machine. The ideas they usually try are logical and well thought out, but unfortunately, they can lead to inaccurate results. Our purpose here is to explain why. Many people understandably assume that if they put a bottle into a cap torque tester and then tighten the cap with a capper, the tester will tell them what torque the capper just applied to the cap. Unfortunately, this is not the case. If the cap is screwed onto the container very slowly, the cap torque tester will only measure the torque applied to the cap. A capping machine can tighten caps very quickly. The sampling rate (how often the cap torque tester reads the torque output) of the...

Which filling equipment is suitable for powder products

W hich filling equipment is suitable for powder products? Businesses with specialized equipment needs often encounter challenges with powder product filling equipment. Filling solutions must meet accuracy, efficiency and maintenance goals to achieve a return on investment. Any business looking for high-quality filling equipment needs the right filling type and machine design to meet customer expectations and financial goals. T ype o f Filling Equipment Take some time to evaluate product consistency and performance between filling equipment types. Some of the most common types of filling equipment used in powder product packaging include: 1. Net weight filler. Any filling machine that weighs commodities before filling is a net weight filling machine. These semi-automatic or automatic filling machines can handle heavy powder and granular products and can counteract the inconsistency of irregularly shaped granules. Net weight fillers may not provide the consistency companies expect from f...

How Do I Know When a Process Should Be Automated?

Automation can improve the efficiency, safety, accuracy and speed of a process, but it also requires careful planning. There are many factors to consider and it can be difficult to know when a process should be automated. If you are wondering about automating a process at your processing plant, manufacturing plant, or another facility, consider the following. How to Know When a Process Should be Automated 1. Current Process Time vs. Projected Process Time Time is one of the most important factors to consider when deciding whether a process should be automated or not. A machine will perform most simple and repetitive processes faster than a person can. However, it is not only the individual process itself that should be considered, but the surrounding processes as well. 2. Accuracy Requirements Accuracy is another important factor to consider when a process should be automated. If machines are installed, maintained and programmed correctly, they will perform the same task, the same way,...
