How Do The Parts Of VFFS Vertical Packing Machine Work

Jul. 28, 2021

At the beginning, we need to know what is a vertical packing machine.

VFFS Vertical Packing Machine

Vertical bag making and filling sealing machine is a kind of bag making and filling machine with vertical structure. It is mainly used for industrial packaging processing and saves a lot of time and cost. We can provide you with the most advanced and high-speed vertical form fill seal machine (VFFS).

Main components of the vertical form fill seal machine: Film pulling system; Printers; Bag making machine; Filling and sealing machine; Bag cutting; Control cabinet. Understanding the main components of a VFFS machine will give a better understanding of the machine's construction. Now let's dive right into this topic.

How do the parts work?

Are you still curious about vertical fill and seal machines? Usually, we just need to know how the VFFS puts the film roll into the pouch on the shelf. From the beginning, the vertical packer usually laminates a large roll of plastic film, then makes a pouch into which the bulk product is placed, sealed, and that's it. All this handling is done in a vertical motion at speeds of up to 40 bags per minute.

1. Film Pulling System

The system consists of unwinding rolls and tensioners. There is a long roll of film in a roll that we call a film roll.

The film on the roll is driven by a servo motor to ensure smooth and reliable continuous motion pulling.

 

2. Printer

After the film is pulled to the printer's position, the photographic eye captures the dark label printed on the film reel. It then prints the date and production lot number on the film.

3. Bag-making machine

After the film is printed, it is moved to the bag-making machine. Bags or pouches are made by this bag former in a wide range. Different sizes of bags can be made with different sizes of bag maker.

In addition to bag forming function, the bag maker also has a filling function. The bulk material will be filled into the bag through it.

 

4. Filling and sealing

The vertical filling and sealing machine has 2 sets of sealing devices. One is vertical sealer and the other is horizontal sealer. Double vertical sealer can make vertical pattern. Different types of sealers can do different sealing patterns.

 

5. Bag cuttingVFFS Powder Vertical Packing Machine

Inside the vertical fill-seal machine, there is a cutter inside the horizontal sealer. After sealing, it will cut the edge of the bag on a flat bottom. Now let's move to the next action of the vertical bag filler.

 

6. Control cabinet

On the side of the vertical filling and sealing machine, it has a control cabinet attached. It contains all electrical parts inside. PLC, contactors, servo motors, cylinders, solenoid valves, PLC expansion, low voltage electrical parts.

After putting the product into the bag, the knife moves forward and cuts the bag. The packed bag falls down. This is the end of the last cycle of the vertical packaging machine. The finished bag can be discharged to a container or conveyor and transported to down line equipment such as checkweighers, x-ray machines or packaging equipment.
