Vertical bagging machine VTI 200

VFFSvacuumform fill seal

Short description
Vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machine for three-seal bags. Designed for intermediate-speed production up to 70 cycles/min with pneumatic horizontal sealing and AC-driven draw-down belts.

Description
The VTI 200 is built for packaging a wide range of products where simplicity, reliability and ease of use are required. Pneumatic operation of the cross-seal jaws combined with an AC motor driving the draw-down belts gives the machine flexibility across product types and production environments. Compact frame, robust mechanical and electrical components, and low maintenance needs support continuous intermediate-speed operation. Machine control is provided via a 5" colour touchscreen with integrated industrial PC for quick format changes and recipe storage.
