Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What’s the minimum and maximum bag size this machine can handle?
A1: Our vertical packing machine handles bag sizes from 100g to 2kg portions. The bag width ranges from 80mm to 300mm, with length flexibility up to 450mm depending on your product requirements. One bag former in vffs only make one bag width, if you have more bag width, more bag formers are needed.
Q2: How accurate is the weighing system for frozen meatballs?
A2: The 14-head multihead weigher delivers ±1.5g accuracy across all portion sizes. For frozen meatballs, we typically achieve giveaway rates, significantly reducing product costs over time.
Q3: Can this machine handle different meatball sizes and shapes?
A3: Yes, the multihead weigher can accommodate meatball diameters from 15mm to 45mm. The gentle handling system works with round, oval, and irregularly shaped products without damage.
Q4: What’s the changeover time between different products or bag sizes?
A4: Product changeover typically takes 15-20 minutes. Bag size adjustments can be completed in 5-8 minutes using our tool-free adjustment system.
Q5: How much floor space does this machine require?
A5: The compact vertical design requires approximately 2.5m x 1.8m floor space, with 4m height clearance. This makes it ideal for facilities with limited floor space.
Q6: What type of packaging films can be used?
A6: The machine works with PE/PP films, multilayer barrier films, and laminated materials. Film thickness range is 40-120 microns, suitable for both frozen and fresh applications.
Q7: How often does the machine require maintenance?
A7: Daily cleaning takes 30-45 minutes with IP65 washdown capability. Preventive maintenance is scheduled weekly (2 hours) and monthly (4 hours) to ensure optimal performance.
Q8: Can the machine integrate with existing production lines?
A8: Yes, the machine includes standard conveyor interfaces and can connect to upstream feeding systems and downstream case packing equipment.
Q9: What’s the power consumption and compressed air requirements?
A9: Power consumption is 8-12 kW depending on configuration. Compressed air requirement is 6 bar pressure at 200 L/min flow rate.
Q10: Is training provided for operators?
A10: Complete operator training is included, covering machine operation, maintenance procedures, troubleshooting, and safety protocols. Training duration is typically 2-3 days.
