High-Performance VFFS Bag Former | Engineered for Machine Manufacturers & Wholesalers

Product Overview: The Core of Perfect Bagging

The VFFS Bag Former and Forming Shoulder assembly is the heart of any Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machine. It is the critical component responsible for precisely and efficiently shaping flat packaging film into a continuous tube, which is then sealed to create individual bags.
Our assemblies are constructed from high-strength stainless steel and food-grade materials, making them ideal for the automated packaging of granules, powders, liquids, and more.
We don’t just manufacture parts; we deliver a strategic advantage that enhances your brand value and earns the trust of your end-users.
As a packaging machinery manufacturer or parts wholesaler, your primary concern isn’t just the bag former itself. It’s about ensuring your equipment delivers consistent performance, flawless package quality, and lower maintenance costs. Our high-performance forming collars and forming tubes are engineered to meet these exact demands.

Are Your Customers Complaining About These Common Issues?

End-User Pain Point
Root Cause
Our Solution: The Superior Bag Former Design
Frequent wrinkles and film distortion
Poorly designed forming shoulder curve, excessive film tension.
Optimized Curve Geometry: We use computer simulations and extensive testing to create the ideal forming shoulder contour, ensuring smooth film travel and minimal friction.
Inconsistent bag sizes, misaligned seals
Low-precision forming collars, deformation over time.
High-Precision Manufacturing & Premium Materials: Crafted from SUS304 stainless steel with high-precision laser cutting and expert hand-polishing, our bag formers guarantee dimensional accuracy and resist deformation.
Lengthy debugging after film changeovers
Poor compatibility of the bag former for packing machine.
Universal Compatibility: Our forming tubes and collars are rigorously tested to be compatible with leading domestic and international VFFS machine brands. Custom designs are also available.
Inability to increase packaging speed
Film fluttering or drifting during the forming process.
Seamless Forming Technology: We utilize advanced seamless shaping and argon arc welding techniques to create an ultra-smooth interior, ensuring stable film tracking even at high speeds.

Bag Former Replacement

Bag Former Replacement Tutorial

Tools Required

Allen Wrench (Hex Key) Set
Rubber Mallet
Cleaning Cloth & Isopropyl Alcohol

Step-by-Step Replacement Process

Step
Action
Key Considerations
1. Stop & Power Off
Ensure the machine is completely stopped and the main power is disconnected.
Safety first!
2. Remove Old Assembly
Use an Allen wrench to loosen the mounting bolts. Gently tap the forming shoulder with a rubber mallet to dislodge it from the support frame.
Avoid using excessive force to prevent damage to the mounting frame.
3. Clean Mounting Surface
Use a cloth and alcohol to thoroughly clean any film debris, grease, or residue from the mounting surface.
A clean surface is essential for precision alignment.
**4. Install New Bag Former
Align the new bag former with the positioning holes, slide it smoothly into place, and then evenly hand-tighten all mounting bolts.
Ensure the assembly is seated correctly and not tilted.
5. Align & Test
Manually pull a section of film through the forming tube and over the forming shoulder. Finely adjust the assembly’s position until the film path is centered, smooth, and free of wrinkles.
This is the most critical step for ensuring quality bag formation.
Expert Tip: We highly recommend recording a video of the replacement process. This can serve as an invaluable internal training resource or be provided to your end-customers to significantly boost their satisfaction.
