Vertical
Packaging Machinery
The range of vertical packaging machines PFM is specifically designed to meet any need of flexible packaging for food and non-food applications.
Vertical form fill seal (VFFS) sealing systems: technical differences and selection criteria
PFM and MBP vertical form fill seal machines (VFFS) use distinct sealing systems: intermittent motion, continuous motion and Long Dwell / Box Motion, each engineered for specific production requirements: product nature (granular, powder, fragile or liquid), bag format and required output.
Intermittent motion sealing unit
Precision and control with the film at rest
The film advances in steps and sealing takes place while the film is stationary: the jaws have all the contact time they need, and every seal is controlled and precise.
It is the most suitable choice when precision prevails over raw speed: auger-dosed powders, accurate portioning, complex formats such as block bottom, Steelo Bag and doy-style, and production runs with frequent format changes.
Continuous motion sealing unit
Maximum productivity for pillowbag packs without stopping the film
When maximum productivity is the goal, the film never stops: the jaws seal as it advances, with a rotary motion, with no stops or dead time.
This is the setup for high-volume production (snacks, chips, confectionery, pasta…) where the packaging machine operates in line with MBP multihead weighers and volumetric or auger dosers.
Vertical Long Dwell and Box Motion sealing unit
Hermetic performance even at high speed
In vertical packaging too, the most demanding films require longer contact time. PFM’s patented Long Dwell rotary head provides it without giving up continuous motion, ensuring airtight seals on barrier films, recyclable mono-materials and paper-based films, including MAP applications.
For structured bags (block bottom, Steelo Bag, doy-style) the box-motion unit applies prolonged, even pressure while following the film’s travel: strong seals and well-defined corners that ensure the bag stands perfectly on the shelf.
