Vertical Bagging Packing Machines - VFFS

Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS)

Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) packaging machinery is used in almost every industry today, and for good reason. Advanced vertical bagging machines are fast, economical packaging solutions that conserve valuable plant floor space and offer various benefits on the production line.  

 

At Harpak-ULMA, our new family of vertical machines has been devised with our customers’ needs in mind. Designed for continuous motion packing for a wide variety of products, these machines are highly flexible when changing the forming size to allow for different portion and bag sizes. Our VFFS equipment offers uncompromising versatility and consistent performance when vertically packaging liquids, pastes, powders, granulated foods, frozen foods (IQF), snacks, vegetables, and many other particulate products and adapts to almost any film type. Combined with our standard levels of electronic specification and control, these features give you the best production rates, highest quality containers, and optimized work performance available on the market today.

The VFFS Advantage

The flexibility and versatility of our VFFS machines allow for the seamless production of a wide range of goods in varying types and dimensions across food and non-food applications. From the beginning of the design concept, our VFFS models have been focused entirely on key industry requirements such as ergonomics, easy cleaning, low maintenance, the use of high-quality materials with the most advanced hygiene treatments. 

.

Today, our vertical bagging machinery focuses on robust, reliable, intuitive operation, using the latest generation of maintenance-free, advanced electronic controls, dynamic brushless drives, and internal programming with a friendly, usable touch screen with icons. Our VFFS machines possess extreme programming flexibility to handle the most demanding products and films and are prepared to operate at maximum efficiency in even the harshest industrial environments.

.

We have machines with an IP-66 degree of protection, with surfaces that prevent the accumulation of dirt, and are suitable for direct washdown. We also have a 45º incline machine for instances where delicate or fragile items may be better protected when gravity assists in their handling.

.

SealFlex™ is our universal system for different types of film and seal, ideal for frozen products. It streamlines and simplifies sealing jaw changes. Avoiding having to change the entire jaw means keeping changeover times to a minimum. Better-Seal™ is a technology that ensures stable and precise sealing temperatures of the machine’s sealing elements.

Venturi™ Suction System

.

Special system ensuring that light products (such as leafy greens) drop more quickly into, and through, the forming tube.

.

• 10-15% increase in production

• Avoid product jams

• Minimize risk of product becoming trapped in cross seal

• Over 15% reduction in package length

Tight-Bag™ and Tight-Chicken™

.

The Tight-Bag™ system preserves product quality by optimizing the required volume of the bags. It has the same advantages as the traditional systems that perforate the bags, but in this case there are no perforations to risk contamination of the product. The amount of air you can extract is adjustable from the operator control display.

.

• Up to 35 packages per minute

(FOUR times the average rate executed by manual packaging).

• Leak-proof packaging.

• Reduced overall plastic waste.

• Optimized visual appeal.

• Automatic feeding on elevation conveyor decreases contamination risk

 

The Tight-Chicken™ packaging solution stems from a redesign and integration of ULMA’s preexisting Tight-Bag™ system. It creates an airtight, uniform second skin that is leak-proof and offers optimized product freshness and visual appeal across the entire supply, distribution, and sales chain.
