LINYOPACK VFFS machines: SVC260, VGT Series and VP Series

Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) Machines

Three VFFS series for pillow, gusset, chain and quad-seal bags: the SVC260 for continuous high-speed bagging, the compact VP Series and the VGT for quad-seal bags. Each is matched to a weigher or filler and tested with your product.

How a Vertical Form Fill Seal Machine Works

A VFFS machine, also called a vertical packaging machine, makes the bag from a roll of flat film, fills it from above and seals it, in one continuous vertical path.

  1. 01

    Film unwinds

    Film is pulled off the roll and kept in register by a photo eye reading the print marks.

  2. 02

    Forming

    The forming shoulder wraps the flat film around a vertical tube.

  3. 03

    Back seal

    A vertical seal joins the film edges into a tube. Quad-seal bags get four corner seals instead.

  4. 04

    Dosing

    A weigher or filler above the tube drops one dose down into the bag.

  5. 05

    Cross seal and cut

    Horizontal jaws seal the top of this bag and the bottom of the next, then cut between them.

  6. 06

    Discharge

    The finished bag drops onto a conveyor for checkweighing and case packing.

In continuous motion the film never stops and the jaws travel down with it, which allows higher speeds. In intermittent motion the film stops for each cross seal, which suits many products and bag sizes at moderate speeds.

Our VFFS Packaging Machines

They differ in bag style, speed and how the dose is delivered.

Continuous motion · up to 160 bags/min*

SVC260

Our fastest bagger, for lines where output is the limit. Six servo axes keep film and jaws moving together, and it is our only bagger available up to IP69 for washdown areas. Pillow bags as standard, side gusset bags with the gusset assembly, on laminate, foil or paper-based film.

View SVC260 
Compact · 20–90 bags/min*

VP Series

Three sizes for film from 90 to 520 mm wide, making pillow and chain bags. The VP takes any of four dosers, including an auger filler for powders. The VP-YT carries its own multihead weigher for 5–1,000 g packs.

View VP Series 
Quad-seal · up to 80 bags/min*

VGT Series

Built only for quad-seal bags, with or without a back seal. A separate edge-sealing unit makes the four corner seals. Valve, zipper and gas flush are available as options.

What Decides How a VFFS Line Runs

The bagger is rarely the only limit. Output, weight and seal quality depend on the whole line and on your product and film.

How the Packaging Test Works 
  1. 01

    The doser

    Weigher, cup or auger filler: it must deliver enough accurate doses per minute

  2. 02

    Fill weight and bag size

    Longer bags and heavier fills take longer to drop and settle

  3. 03

    The film

    Structure, thickness and slip decide sealing time and how the film tracks

  4. 04

    The product

    Dust, oil, ice or crumbs in the seal area slow the jaws or cause leaks

  5. 05

    Options

    Valves, zippers, gas flush and coders each add steps to the cycle

  6. 06

    Downstream

    Checkweighers and case packers have to keep up with the bag rate

FAQ

Questions buyers ask when choosing a VFFS machine.

Ask an engineer 

A vertical form fill seal machine makes bags from a roll of film, fills them from above and seals them. The film is formed around a vertical tube, sealed along its length, filled by a weigher or filler, then sealed and cut across. It suits granular, piece and powder products.

Pillow bags on the SVC260 and VP Series, side gusset bags on the SVC260 with the gusset assembly, chain bags on the VP Series, and quad-seal bags, with or without a back seal, on the VGT Series.

In continuous motion the film keeps moving and the sealing jaws travel with it, so the machine never stops between bags. In intermittent motion the film stops for each cross seal. The SVC260 is continuous-motion only. The VP Series comes in intermittent- and continuous-motion versions; choose based on your product and target output. The VGT can run in continuous or intermittent motion.

Up to 160 bags/min on the SVC260, 20–90 on the VP Series and up to 80 on the VGT. These are machine references. The output you get depends on the product, fill weight, bag size, film and dosing, so we confirm it in a packaging test.

It depends on the product. Multihead or linear weighers suit granular and piece products, cup fillers suit free-flowing products dosed by volume, and auger fillers suit powders. The VP-YT has a multihead weigher built on.

Yes. The packaging test is free; you cover the shipping of your samples. We run your product and film on the machine and send you a test video and a written record.
