Key Purchasing Considerations for Used Packaging Machinery

• Output Speed: Confirm that the machine's capacity (e.g., packages per minute) aligns with your production line's requirements to avoid bottlenecks.
• Product and Material Compatibility: Ensure the machine is configured for your specific product size, shape, and packaging materials (e.g., film type and thickness, cardboard grade).
• Changeover Time: Inquire about the complexity and time required to switch the machine between different product formats, especially if you run multiple SKUs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Packaging Equipment

What is a vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machine?

A VFFS machine is an automated packaging system that creates a bag from a flat roll of film, fills the bag with product, and then seals it. It's commonly used for packaging loose products like snacks, coffee, powders, and grains efficiently and at high speeds.

How do I choose between a semi-automatic and a fully-automatic packaging machine?

The choice depends on your production volume and labor costs. Semi-automatic machines require an operator for each cycle (e.g., placing a product), making them suitable for lower volume or specialized runs. Fully-automatic machines handle the entire process without operator intervention, offering higher speed and consistency for large-scale production.
