The packaging installation with a vertical packaging machine (VFFS) is used for the dosing and packing of chips in flexible bags. Thermo-sealable film in the form of a roll is used as the packaging material. Depending on the desired level of automation, the packaging machine can be configured in different ways, as it may consists of the following modules:
- Vertical packaging machine (VFFS)
- Dosing device
- Conveyor
- Printing device
- Transport belt for the ready package
- Metal detector
- Check weigher
Note: The configuration to the right is just an example, as the client can purchase only the modules he requires.
