A VFFS machine is a kind of flexible packaging machine that fills and seals bags in a vertical orientation, it is also called vertical form fill seal machine and vertical packing machine. This type of machine is ideal for businesses that need to package products in small quantities, make the below bag shape from plastic film rolls, to help products keep longer shelf life: pillow bags, gusseted bags, flat-bottom bags and quad-sealed bags.
The form fill seal machines classified into two types: intermittent motion and continuous motion machines. The obvious difference between them is speed, continuous motion vffs has higher speed. Generally speaking, the vertical packing machine will work with weigher and conveyors, so that it can achieve fully automatic weighing and packaging.
What models do you produce?
Our vffs models are from P320, P420, P520, P620, P720 to P1050. The numbers like “320”, “420” represent the maximum film width of this model. Please pay attention that the film width is not equal to bag width, film width is the width of the bag when fully unfolded.

The VFFS machine works by first forming the bag from a roll of plastic film. The film is fed into the machine and then heated to form the shape of the bag. Next, the product to be packaged is loaded into the bag and the top of the bag is sealed. Finally, any excess air is removed from the bag. It can make the pillow bag, gusset bag, chain bags, quad-sealed bags and others. From this video, you can see the VFFS machine with multihead weigher working.
