Form, Fill, and Seal Packaging Systems

Form, fill, and seal packaging systems automate the bagging operation using printed film rather than a pre-made bag. The system forms the bag from the film, presents the bag for filling, and seals the bag automatically. Form, fill, and seal packaging systems can be integrated with weigh scales, volumetric dosing, and product counting devices. There are two basic types of form, fill, and seal systems.

Horizontal form, fill, and seal systems use centerfolded film to make the bag and produce a side weld bag with a bottom fold and top seal. HFFS systems are commonly used for heavy duty packages of fertilizer, salt, soil, mulch, stone, wood pellets, ice melter, absorbents, etc. Bag sizes generally range from 20 lbs to 100 lbs. and up to 3 cu ft volume. Most products packaged on a HFFS system are granular or larger.

Vertical form, fill, and seal systems use printed flat sheet film and make a bag with a seal down the back center and at the top and bottom of the bag. VFFS systems will handle a broader range of products than HFFS systems, including finer particle sizes. VFFS systems are widely used for food products, dog food, cat food, fertilizer, plastic resin, and similar products.

Both systems can be integrated with downstream packaging equipment such as case packers, palletizers, and stretch wrappers, or shrink hooders.
