How to Choose a VFFS & Sachet Packing Machine
Compare product properties, sachet format, dosing method, production output, film compatibility and automation requirements before choosing a VFFS packing machine.
01
Product Type & Properties
Identify whether the product is a liquid, paste, powder, or granule. Fluidity, density, and dustiness dictate the feeding system and diving nozzle configuration.
02
Sachet Format & Size
Confirm bag width, length, and seal style (3-side, 4-side, pillow, or stick pack). Distinct formats define the specific vertical forming collar design.
03
Dosing System
Match the product to its ideal filler: piston/gear pumps for liquids, augers for dust-controlled powders, or volumetric cups/multi-head weighers for granules.
04
Output & Number of Lanes
Define your target speed (PPM). Multi-lane machines exponentially increase output per minute for high-volume small-portion sachet packaging.
05
Film & Sealing Requirements
Verify film material (laminated, recyclable, or foil), thickness, and seal width. Ensure compatibility with the vertical heat-sealing jaws.
06
Automation & Line Integration
Plan for automatic film registration, date coding, product detection, and discharge. Seamlessly connect with upstream elevators and downstream cartoning.
Typical Applications for VFFS & Sachet Packing
Match the filling and sealing configuration to the product characteristics and the required single-use or portion-pack format.
Liquid & Paste Products
High-precision dosing for sauces, syrups, cosmetics, and beverages. Features drip-free suck-back nozzles and liquid-tight vertical sealing.
Powders & Fine Materials
Dust-free packaging for flour, spices, coffee, and chemical powders. Utilizes enclosed auger fillers and dust-extraction shrouds to protect seals.
Granules & Small Particles
Fast, uniform packaging for sugar, salt, tea, seeds, and hardware. Optimized via volumetric cups or multi-head weighers for absolute weight tolerance.
How a VFFS Sachet Packing Process Works
A typical system forms packages from a roll of film, fills each pack and seals it. The exact sequence and included functions vary by machine model.
STEP 01
Film Feeding
Film roll automatically unwinds via tension rollers.
STEP 02
Sachet Forming
The forming collar shapes the flat film into a vertical tube.
STEP 03
Precision Dosing
Auger, pump, or cup system drops the exact volume into the formed pouch
STEP 04
Sealing & Cutting
Horizontal jaws heat-seal the pouch edges and cut into individual sachets.
STEP 05
Outfeed & Coding
Finished packets are batch-coded and transferred to downstream equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VFFS packing machine?
A vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machine forms bags from roll film, doses product into the package, seals it and cuts the finished packs. The supported package styles and products depend on the specific machine configuration.
Which products can be packed by a VFFS or sachet machine?
Depending on the model and dosing system, applications can include liquids, pastes, powders and granules. Product viscosity, particle size, flowability and packaging requirements should be provided for model selection.
How do I choose the correct dosing system?
The dosing method should match the product and required fill quantity. Pump systems are often used for compatible liquids and pastes, auger systems for powders, and cup or weighing systems for suitable granules. Final compatibility should be confirmed with product samples and specifications.
Can I increase output with a multi-lane sachet machine?
Multi-lane machines can produce several sachets per cycle and may increase output for suitable applications. Actual production speed depends on the product, fill quantity, sachet dimensions, dosing method, film and sealing cycle.
What film information is needed before choosing a machine?
Provide the film material, width, thickness, seal layer, printed-film requirements and desired sachet dimensions. Film samples can help verify forming, sealing and print-registration compatibility.
What information should I provide for a quotation?
Share the product type, sample or photos, target fill quantity, sachet dimensions, sealing style, packaging film, required output, voltage and automation preferences. This information helps the team assess suitable configurations.
