Vertical form fill seal for dusty and liquid products
Optimize your packaging line with a versatile solution designed to efficiently handle both dusty and liquid products, ensuring reliability and precision in challenging environments.
Packs, Seals, and Forms Diverse Products
The VFFS M250 from Viking Masek is a versatile vertical form fill seal machine engineered to tackle varied packaging challenges within the food, beverage, and non-food industries. This robust equipment excels in packaging applications ranging from candy and cereal to pet foods and liquids, making it particularly effective in environments with high dust or moisture levels. The M250 handles a myriad array of products—like granola bars, coffee, and protein powders—thanks to its capacity to process solids, liquids, and powders with precision intermittent motion.
Supporting both high-speed and automatic operations, the machine boasts a compact footprint with a stainless steel frame that’s washdown-ready, ensuring compliance with stringent food safety standards. Integration onto your production line is seamless with its user-friendly interface powered by Siemens or Allen Bradley control systems.
The M250’s enclosed jaw drive and direct drive jaw actuation ensure minimal maintenance requirements while delivering consistent output. It offers a throughput of up to 140 bags per minute and accommodates a wide range of bag sizes. Its holistic design includes advanced features like automatic film tracking, quick film splicing, and self-centering pull belts that streamline changeovers and reduce downtime. For enhanced adaptability, optional configurations like bag-in-bag setups and degassing valves are available to meet unique packaging needs.
