Vertical Form Fill and Seal | VFFS | Stand Up Pouches |
Sachet Machines | Band Sealers
Busch Machinery has a full line of Vertical Form Fill and
Seal equipment, also known as VFFS, plus sachet machines,
standup pouch filling and sealing equipment, and band sealers
for small production with preformed bags.
Most of us are aware of the typical vertical form fill and
seal bags from our experience with snack foods. This type of
bag is seen in potato chip packaging with a top and bottom
seal and a long fin seal down the back side. We often refer to
this kind of bag making and filling as a pillow pack. And
aside from gusseted bag options, this pretty much defines what
can be done with VFFS equipment insofar as larger bag sizes
are concerned.
Standard Seal for large bags is a Center or "Fin" Seal, but smaller bags up to 6"W x 8"L can be sealed as 3 or 4 sided pouches. Keep in mind that print copy can be made in any position so the "top" of the bag in the filling and sealing sense does not necessarily mean it is the top of the bag from the consumer's perspective
However what is less known to many would be buyers is that
vertical form fill and seal equipment can make 3 and 4 sided
sealed pouches in bag sizes as large as 6 inch wide by 8 inch
long, identical in appearance to what can be done on very
expensive "Bartelt" type horizontal pouch making, filling and
sealing machines for a lot less money.
 Furthermore,
not only is it possible to make 4 side sealed pouches, it is
also possible to make twin packs, each with different
ingredients.
Small machines for individual pouches to a maximum of 3
3/8" wide X 4 3/4" long are called Sachet machines and can
also do any of the three types of seals.
And all of the machines in the VFFS category can be used to
fill liquids, pastes, granules, powders, tablets, snack foods,
small parts, and much more.
Stick Packs are generally long narrow packages that can be made 1 - 10 at a time from a single web
Another
type of Vertical Form Fill and Seal machinery is what is known
as a "Stick" packer. Typically stick packs
refers to long narrow packages that can be made for 1 - 10 at
a time from a single web where the the machine slits the web
prior to forming. Stick packs will also have a fin seal or
alternatively an envelope seal on the side. But the fact is
that a stick packer VFFS machine need not necessarily produce
only a narrow package, but can produce most any sized bags
within the limits of the web width handling capabilities of
the particular machine. For instance a 10 lane stick
packer could easily be a 4 lane stick packer, with more than
double the width bags. In reality the best name for a
"stick packer" is a multi-lane Vertical, Form, Fill, and Seal
Machine.

Standup Pouch Filling and Sealing Equipment
  Standup
Pouches have increased in popularity over the past few years
and while technically not a vertical form, fill, and seal
application, since the bags come premade to the packager,
there is an increasing need for machinery to fill, code and
seal them. Busch Machinery carries standup pouch filling and
sealing machines for filling all kinds of products ranging
from liquids to powders, dried soups to wet soups, hot fills
and cold fills and lots of options like complete washdown and
oversized pouches.
