Vertical Form Fill Seal Machine (VFFS) is used for packaging commodities like food products and pharmaceutical products. Wide variety of the packaging styles that VFFS machine can produce such as normal pillow bag, block bottom bag, Pillow gusset bag, chained bags and 3-sided seal bag those are used in dependence on the product shape and nature etc. In some bag styles, wise function is added on the bag for considering easy opening for users or the convenience in the shop display.
You may not know how to choose the correct type of VFFS machine from many types. The following chapter explains the merits, how to introduce VFFS machine and the representing model of TAM VFFS machine, for your reference.
Vertical Form-Fill-Seal packaging is the packaging form that is a way to form the wrapping film in tube shape, drop the product in vertical direction and then form a pillow-shaped bag. The above picture shows the packing process.
The typical products wrapped in VFFS machine are snacks, sweets like chocolates and candies, frozen foods, frozen vegetables, powder products of coffee, cocoa, milk, starch, seasoning mix, and pharmaceutical products such as barium powder.
In VFFS machine, the set film roll is fed to the forming section, and sealed the back side and bottom of the formed film, and then the contents are filled. After sealing the top of the film and cut it, the product completes as pillow bag at last.
The followings are the merits for introducing Vertical Form Fill Seal Machine (VFFS):
By using VFFS machine, the mechanized operation can secure the stable quality and consistent wrapping. This enables increasing production efficiency as well as solving labor shortage.
To maintain the product quality, depending on the contents, nitrogen (N2) gas can be filled in the bag while the products are filled for the purpose of reducing oxygen. Reducing the amount of oxygen prevents the product from oxidation, which means the product will be kept in good quality. The gas filling also prevents the contents from cracked or damaged during transportation.
As it is the automatic wrapping by machine, beautiful wrapping finis and stable operation are also the merits.
On the other hand, VFFS machine is not always favorable solution in some cases.
If the product is delicate and easily damaged by heat, VFFS machine may not be suitable for these products. Technically, VFFS machine drops the products from top for filling into the bag. Therefore the products may be crushed by fall, or have cracks. The weight per piece is too heavy it might be unsuitable.

As the name suggests, vertical form fill seal machines are suitable for forming single dose bags from a laminate reel, filling them with a product and sealing them.
There are two main types of VFFS depending on the single dose bag to produce:
Despite some relevant differences, these machines share all some primary groups:
4-side-seal sachet: these vertical continuous motion machines are ideal for producing rectangular and shaped sachets. They come as single and multilane machines for fulfilling the highest production demands.
The production process starts from a laminate reel that is split in 2 equal strips and cut in multiple lanes lengthwise. The different lanes are then sealed vertically and horizontally while filling the newly formed sachet with the product and finally cut accordingly to get the final sachet.
3-side-seal stick pack: these vertical intermittent motion machines are ideal for producing convenient, practical and consumer-friendly stick packs. They come as single and multilane machines for fulfilling the highest production demands. The production process starts from a laminate reel that is cut in multiple lanes lengthwise. The different lanes are folded to form the stick packs, sealed vertically and horizontally while filling them with the product and finally cut accordingly to get the final stick pack.
