A vertical form fill sealing machine is a type of automated assembly-line product packaging system, commonly used in the packaging industry for food and many other products. Walter Zwoyer, the inventor of the technology, patented his idea for the VFFS machine in 1936 while working with the Henry Heide Candy Company.
What does FFS stand for in packaging?
A Form, Fill and Seal (FFS) machine is an automated piece of equipment that can deal with three operations in one place. Firstly, the machinery forms the bag to prepare it to be filled with the product; then, it injects wet or dry material into the chosen package format and, ultimately, it seals the bag.
What equipment is needed for packaging?
Baggers or bagging machines are a type of packaging equipment used to package items in roll bags or poly bags. Most baggers (including what is commonly referred to as manual baggers) are either semi-automatic or automatic machinery. There is also another type of bagger called a drop bagger.
