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.
