1.The “Heart” of Your VFFS Machine
In Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) packaging, the Formadora de bolsas (also known as the “Trunk” or “Collar”) is responsible for turning a flat roll of film into a perfect tube. If the geometry is off by even a millimeter, you face constant downtime due to film breakage, wrinkles, or misaligned back-seals.
2. Why “Off-the-Shelf” Formers Often Fail
Many manufacturers try to use generic formers. However, different films (PE, Laminates, Paper) have different friction coefficients.
Nuestra solución: We offer specialized Trunk-style Formers with optimized shoulder angles to ensure smooth film flow without excessive tension.
Surface Coating: For sticky or thin films, our formers feature premium coatings (like Teflon or sand-blasted finishes) to reduce drag and prevent “static” build-up.
3. Customization: The Key to Flexibility
When you launch a new product size, you don’t need a new machine—you need a precision-engineered bag former.
Square Bottom vs. Pillow Bag: We design formers specifically for your bag style to ensure the “ears” are tucked perfectly.
Gas Flushing & Dust Suction: Our formers can be integrated with gas nitrogen injection tubes for freshness or dust extraction ports for powdery products.
4. Maintenance Tip: Protecting Your Former
A small scratch on the shoulder of the former can ruin thousands of bags.
Daily Check: Always clean the collar with a non-abrasive cloth to remove adhesive residue or dust.
Storage: When switching sizes, store your formers on a dedicated rack to avoid denting the precision edges.
