Vertical form fill seal for large bag packaging

For operations requiring precise, large bag packaging, this equipment ensures efficient filling and sealing with minimal downtime, reducing maintenance and increasing throughput.

Forms, Fills, and Seals Large Bags

The VFFS M500 from Viking Masek is designed for industries looking to efficiently package a variety of products in large bags. This versatile machine uses an intermittent motion system to form, fill, and seal bags of up to 500 mm x 600 mm, suitable for products ranging from powders to liquids.

Engineered to streamline production lines, it integrates seamlessly into existing setups with features such as mechanical direct drive jaw actuation and automatic film tracking, reducing downtime and maintenance. Ideal for applications in candy, cereal, and non-food products, the M500 can produce bag types like quad seal and flat bottom, adding consumer-friendly options like zippers and tear notches.

With a capacity to handle speeds of up to 70 bags per minute, this machine supports high-speed operations. Its PLC-controlled system ensures precise automation and integration, featuring Siemens or Allen Bradley controls for reliable performance. The robust stainless steel frame and off-the-shelf components promise minimal maintenance and quick repairs, while the VFD powered film unwind and quick film splice table minimize production interruptions.

Whether you’re packaging gummy bears or ground coffee, the M500 efficiently meets your needs, while providing optional custom features like carry handles and degassing valves to enhance packaging appeal and functionality.
