If you are searching for a solution to improve your food and perishable goods packaging processes, then a Vertical Form Fill Seal machine (VFFS) could be just the investment you need to make. A VFFS machine packs and seals a wide range of products in flexible packaging material, ensuring reliable and efficient packaging.
VFFS packaging is the go-to bagging system for many product manufacturers and packaging companies worldwide, given that VFFS machines are fast, efficient, reliable and versatile.
Needless to say, before you shell out for a vertical form fill seal machine, you will want to know more about the improvements it can stand to make to your packaging processes. Whilst it may seem like a large outlay in the short term, there are many benefits, and costs can be quickly recovered.
Increase output
One of the most important advantages of a VFFS machine is that it can fill and seal flexible packaging at incredibly fast rates whilst also retaining the highest level of quality and precision. With some machines filling and sealing as many as 120 individual packs in the space of a minute, an automated VFFS machine can achieve an extremely high output, helping you to meet demands as your business grows.
Easy to use and low maintenance
Vertical form fill seal machines are actually relatively simple in terms of the parts and structures needed to run them. They are also run by simple software, so it is easy to train staff to programme and operate them.
As there are fewer parts involved in a VFFS machine than other automated packaging machinery, it is also easier to find and fix faults. The lower number of components in the equipment means that there is less to go wrong, and therefore, less chance of disruption to your packaging processes. Your packaging operations will certainly give you less stress than with manual processes or complicated machinery and downtime will be kept to an absolute minimum.
Lower labour costs
Due to the simple operation and high output of a VFFS machine, you will only need one person to operate a single machine and with such a high output, packaging targets can be met in a shorter period of time.
Packaging versatility
One of the most important benefits of VFFS machinery is versatility. Firstly, VFFS machines are suitable for packaging an extensive range of products for various industries, including food, pet food, agricultural and pharmaceutical.
Pack sizes can also be changed quickly and seamlessly, allowing you to move from packaging one product or volume to another with minimal changeover time. As the old saying goes, time is money, so any reduction of time helps to minimise costs.
