Form Fill Seal Machines Work Excellently for Food Packaging
The modern-day world is getting used to processed and packaged foods – right from the quintessential chips, biscuits, and other snacks to fruit and vegetable juices to sauces and soups to dry fruits and nuts to frozen foods and ready-to-eat foods and so much more in between.
While it’s so easy to tear open say, a packet of chips and munch on the contents, do we ever pause to think about the efforts and equipment needed to get that packet of chips finally into your hand?
Indeed, the processed food and drinks industry requires a variety of processing, packaging, and material-handling machinery to get the work done. And the mammoth range of equipment available across these three categories of processing, packaging, and material handling is quite mind-boggling.
To begin with, the processing of any food or beverage requires different equipment like slicers, dicers, dryers, cookers, fryers, mills, mixers, ovens, refrigerators, autoclaves, and so on. Once the product is ready, it has to be packaged properly for sale. This job is mostly automated on assembly lines and therefore, again necessitates an assortment of machinery from bottlers, canners, cappers, fillers, and labelers to sealers, cartons, wrappers, etc, depending on the item being packaged.
Form fill seal machines are proving especially useful for packaging – as the name goes, these machines can form a package, fill it and seal it, all on the same machine! Form fill seal machines come in 2 common varieties – horizontal fill form seal and vertical fill form seal. Other variants include cold form fill seal, blow fill seal, thermoform fill seal, and blister form fill seal to name a few. These can be used to create almost any shape or size of the package, be it bags, sacks, pillow packs, cartons, trays, boxes, and so on.
Any type of horizontal or vertical form fill seal machines will first use a flat roll of plastic film, paper, or even fabric to form, shape, and seal a packet. Then the created packet will be filled, sealed, and separated as desired. Before sealing, the package can even be filled with air to prevent the product from getting crushed or even to remove oxygen to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
The process is fully automated and requires an operator to only intermittently replenish the product being packaged or the packaging rolls being used. What’s more, virtually any solid or liquid can be formed, filled, and sealed with a horizontal or vertical fill form seal!
Therefore, the perfect solution for reliable packaging of processed food or drinks or even chemicals, medicines, or cosmetics is a horizontal or vertical form fill seal machine. They come with features like ease of operation, minimal maintenance, quality output, and durability which can make a huge difference to your processed food lines!
