Vertical packaging machine solution

Vertical packaging machine, also known as vertical form-fill-seal machine, abbreviated as VFFS, is widely used in food, medicine, chemical, daily chemical and other industries. Its vertical structure and automated operation can accurately and quickly package a variety of materials such as powder, granules, liquids, etc. Let's talk about the detailed solution of vertical packaging machine, from clarifying the needs to how to configure the equipment to enable enterprises to produce efficiently.

VFFS machines represent a major leap in packaging technology. A packaging machine covers advantages such as speed, flexibility and efficiency. It is very important to understand the working principles of these machines and how to choose the right fully automatic packaging machine according to your needs.

Precautions for choosing to buy a packaging machine:

When choosing a vertical packaging machine, you must first clarify the following requirements:

(1) Material type:

First of all, when choosing a packaging machine, you must clarify what product you need to package. This is the first step in choosing a packaging machine.

Is it powdery, such as milk powder, coffee powder, etc.;

Is it granular, such as candy, rice, nuts;

Or is it liquid or paste, such as juice, sauce.

(2) Packaging specifications:

The range of bag sizes, length and width;

The weight of the package ranges from how much to how much, is it a small or large weight?

(3) Production requirements:

How many bags do you require the production line to produce per minute?

What is the degree of automation, is it fully automatic or semi-automatic?

(4) Packaging form:

Is it a pillow bag, back-sealed bag, four-side sealed bag, or a standing bag with a zipper?

Vertical packaging machine selection plan:

Choose a suitable packaging machine according to the characteristics of your product

(1) Powder packaging plan:

Due to the special properties of powder, it is easy to fly powder. It is recommended to use a vertical packaging machine with a spiral metering device.

It is suitable for coffee powder, milk powder, seasoning powder, etc.

Its advantage is that the metering is very accurate, the powder will not fly everywhere, and the sealing is also very good.

(2) Granule packaging plan:

It is recommended to use a vertical packaging machine with an electronic scale or measuring cup.

It can be used to package rice, nuts, and candy.

Its advantage is that the metering is accurate and suitable for medium or large packaging.

(3) Liquid/sauce packaging solution:

It is recommended to use a vertical packaging machine with a liquid filling pump. It can be used to package sauces, juices, shampoos, etc. It is drip-proof, has a clean seal, and beautiful packaging.

Introduction to the vertical packaging machine system

(1) Feeding system:

Automatic feeding equipment such as a vibrating hopper or a screw conveyor can ensure continuous and stable feeding of materials.

(2) Forming system:

The roll film is folded into a cylinder by a forming machine and can be made into various bag shapes.

(3) Measuring and filling system:

Powders use a spiral metering device; granules use a multi-head weighing machine or a measuring cup meter; liquids use a liquid pump or flow meter system.

(4) Sealing system:

Heat sealing technology can ensure that the packaging bag is well sealed and does not leak or crack. It can be sealed horizontally or vertically to complete the packaging.

(5) Cutting system:

The automatic cutting device can cut the connected packaging bags into individual packages, which can be cut flat, corrugated or perforated.

(6) Auxiliary functions (optional):

Printer: can print production date, batch number and other information.

Inflating device: inflating the packaging bag with nitrogen can extend the shelf life of the product.

Punching device: if you need to make hook-shaped bags, you can use this device.

Working principle of vertical packaging machine

Roll film unrolling and forming:

The packaging film is unrolled from the roll, folded into a cylinder by the forming machine, and the edges are heat-sealed longitudinally, waiting for material filling.

Material filling:

You can set the gram weight you want in the control system, and the metering system will transport the material into the formed bag to ensure the accuracy of the filling amount.

Heat sealing and cutting:

The transverse heat sealing device seals the bag by heat sealing pressure, and the cutting device divides the continuous packaging bags into individual finished bags.

Material conveying:

You can ask the packaging machine manufacturer whether a conveyor belt can be configured. If you need the conveyor belt function, you can request it.

LINK factory customer case application

Case 1: Food industry

Customer requirement: produce 100 bags of coffee powder per minute, with a net weight of 10 grams per bag.

Solution: It is recommended to use a vertical packaging machine with a spiral metering device to package into pillow bags.

Result: The production efficiency is improved, the powder is not easy to fly, the packaging is beautiful, and consumers like it.

Case 2: Pharmaceutical Industry

Customer requirements: The packaging of granular medicines must be well sealed and moisture-proof.

Solution: Use a vertical packaging machine with a multi-head scale and choose aluminum foil composite film.

Result: The shelf life of the product has been extended, and the packaging also meets the hygiene standards.

It has been proved that the use of vertical packaging machines is the best choice for processing investors, and packaging machinery is selected according to the characteristics of the same product. Vertical packaging machines provide enterprises with an efficient and flexible packaging method that can meet the needs of various materials and industries. Choosing a suitable packaging machine will give your production more power
