What does a vertical form and fill packaging machine with liquid-paste filler do?
A form and fill packaging machine, also known as a form fill seal (FFS) machine, is an automated packaging system that performs three main functions: forming, filling, and sealing.

The machine starts with a large roll of flexible packaging film, typically plastic. It then pulls the film off the roll using belts or a dancer arm to maintain tension and guides the film through a forming tube or collar. It then shapes the flat film into a tubular form, creating the basic structure of the package.

Once the package shape is formed, the machine measures a predetermined amount of product using a piston, positive displacement pump or gravity filler dispenses the product into the formed package. This process can be used to package a variety of products, including condiments, detergents, shampoos, ointments and hand sanitizers. After filling, the machine completes the packaging process by sealing the bottom of the package (if not already sealed during forming) and sealing the top of the filled package, followed by cutting the sealed package from the continuous film to create individual units

Are there features of a vertical form and fill with liquid past filler I should be aware of?
Yes! Features can include:

  • Printing capabilities for adding dates, codes, or graphics to the packages
  • Various sealing methods, such as heat sealing, compression sealing, or ultrasonic sealing.
  • Intelligent control systems for parameter setting, fault diagnosis, and production data recording, web tracking. 
  • What is the volume of product being dispensed
  • Is it a viscous or free flowing product
  • Will the pouch be a three or four sided seal

Are there more than one type of Vertical form and fill packaging machine?
Yes! Form and fill packaging machines come in two main orientations:

  1. Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS): Products are dropped into single pouch from vertically oriented packages using a variety of different types of fillers depending on your product.
  2. Multi Lane Form Fill Seal (stick pack or sachets): Vertically oriented packages are formed from a single or dual web into multiple lanes where products are dropped into each pouch using a variety of different types of fillers depending on your product.

Can you tell me what types of industries use form and fill packaging machines?
Yes! These machines are widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, cosmetics and contract packaging industries.

When buying a used form and fill packaging machine, are there other items to consider?
Yes! Other things to consider include:

  1. Product Compatibility: Can the machine handle the type, size, and material of the bags that you intend to use, as well as the product being packed (e.g., solids or granular powders)
  2. Production Capacity: What are your current and future production needs, including speed, weight of product and pouch size?
  3. Ease of Operation and Maintenance: How easy or difficult is the machine to use?
  4. Flexibility and Customization: How flexible is the machine? Can it easily adapt to different packaging requirements?

What was the FFS machine last running?
Knowing what the machine was last running will help you understand if the machine can meet your requirements
