Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines
Your bag is formed, filled and sealed from a single roll of film, in one pass.
Bagging your product
Formed, filled and sealed, at the rate your line needs.
A vertical form fill seal machine forms a bag from a flat roll of film, fills it and seals it in one continuous vertical process.
Film is drawn down over a forming tube, back-sealed, cross-sealed at the bottom, filled from above, then cross-sealed and cut at the top.
We build two motion platforms here in Australia.
Intermittent motion stops the film to make each seal, this is well suited to fixed bag lengths at moderate rates.
Continuous box motion seals on the move with a long adjustable dwell, which unlocks higher rates.
Both are matched to a filling system chosen for your product rather than adapted to it.

Solid
Vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machines are a natural fit for free-flowing and irregular solids. Typical products are snacks, confectionery, frozen vegetables, fresh produce, nuts, pet food, coffee beans and small hardware. They’re usually paired with a multihead weigher or volumetric cup filler for fast, accurate portioning. The machine forms each bag from a single roll of film, fills it and seals it in one continuous process. That gives high speeds, minimal giveaway and lower packaging costs than pre-made bags. Bag styles range from simple pillow packs to gusseted and block-bottom formats, and gas flushing can be added to extend shelf life for fresh and oxygen-sensitive products.

Liquid
For powders and fine granules, VFFS machines are usually paired with an auger filler. The auger gives precise, consistent dosing even with products that are dusty, light or difficult to flow. Common applications include flour, milk and protein powders, spices, sugar, coffee, premixes, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Dust control and clean seals are what matter most with powders, so these lines can be fitted with dust extraction, anti-static features and seal-jaw designs that cut contamination of the seal area. The result is a clean, reliable pack with accurate fill weights. Formats run from small sachets and stick packs up to bulk bags.

Powder
VFFS machines can also pack liquids and pastes into flexible pouches when paired with a piston or pump filler. Typical products are sauces, soups, dressings, dairy, liquid eggs, condiments and industrial fluids. Pouches use far less material than rigid containers and are cheaper to ship and store. They also suit food service, portion packs and bulk supply. Specialised sealing such as impulse or ultrasonic seals gives strong, leak-free closures even when product sits in the seal area. Hot-fill capability makes these lines a good fit for cooked and pasteurised products.
