Showroom Spotlight Series: Vertical Form Fill Seal Machine (VFFS)

Efficiency, precision, and versatility define the Vertical Form Fill Seal Machine (VFFS) now featured in the IMS Showroom in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Built for dependable, high-quality bag production using PE, PP, or paper films, this system pairs robust construction with intelligent controls to deliver consistently accurate packaging.

Reliable Performance Across Materials and Applications

This VFFS machine is engineered to produce consistent, repeatable results across a wide range of packaging materials and bag styles. Its motorized film-handling system supports smooth, continuous operation, while the multi-movement sealing system delivers secure, uniform seals even at high speeds.

An encoder-based bag length measurement system and PLC-controlled operation work together to maintain precision and efficiency throughout each run. Designed for durability, the painted steel frame, integrated electrical cabinet, and CE-certified construction make it a strong fit for demanding production environments.

Key Advantages

• PLC-controlled operation for precise, repeatable performance

• Motorized film-reel unwinding and pulling system for stable film handling

• Sealing system with three independent movements for durability and flexibility

• Encoder-based bag length measurement for accuracy

• Automatic film-end detection to minimize downtime

• Air cooling system in the sealing area

• Interchangeable forming tube (up to 150 mm O.D.) for quick changeovers

• CE-certified modular design for easy integration into automated lines

Engineered for Quality and Flexibility

The machine’s design emphasizes operational simplicity while maintaining high technical capability. Sealing options—including impulse sealing wire for PE and permanent hot bar for PP—enable compatibility with multiple film types and packaging styles.

Its modular construction and compact footprint make it ideal for integration into automated production lines or as a standalone solution for smaller facilities. Every component is built for reliability, from the air-cooled sealing area to the motorized reel drive, helping reduce maintenance needs and maximize uptime.
