What Are Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines? 
什么是垂直填充密封机?

Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines, also called vertical baggers, are packaging machines that vertically fill specified quantities of material into suitable plastic bags and automatically seal them. With the vertical bagger, you can package products such as powder, granules, or solid materials such as small hardware accessories.
垂直填充密封机,也称为垂直填充器,是一种包装机器,它能够垂直地将指定数量的材料填充到合适的塑料袋中并自动密封。使用垂直填充器,您可以包装粉末、颗粒或固体材料等产品,如小型硬件配件。

The Working Principle of Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines
垂直形式填充密封机的工作原理

So, how do the  VFFS machines Work? The machine has a roll of film that you must feed into it before it begins the packaging operation. 
那么,VFFS 密封机是如何工作的呢?这台机器有一卷薄膜,你必须在它开始包装操作之前将薄膜送入其中。

You can have the brand name of your product or other necessary details such as the registration mark printed by having the roll pass through a special printing unit if desired.
如果需要,您可以通过特殊的打印单元来打印产品的品牌名称或其他必要的细节,如注册标志。

This flexible packaging film material then takes a tube form shape with a sealed bottom and is often made of either polyethylene terephthalate(PET) or Polyethylene(PE). These materials are durable and protect your materials from damaging elements like moisture, light, and high temperatures.
这种柔性包装膜材料呈管状,底部封闭,通常由聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯 (PET) 或聚乙烯 (PE) 制成。这些材料具有耐用性,能够保护您的材料免受潮湿、光照和高温等破坏性因素的影响。

So, when the bagging process begins, the required quantity of material flows into the vertically positioned tube film. 
因此,当装袋过程开始时,所需的材料量会流入垂直定位的管状薄膜中。

After the right material quantities are filled, the plastic tubes are horizontally sealed and cut. The positioning of the film for both sealing and cutting is controlled by registration photo-eye sensors.
在填充适当的材料量后,将塑料管水平密封并切割。用于密封和切割的膜的位置由配准光眼传感器控制。

Filled and sealed bags drop on the conveyor belt. 
装满并密封的袋子落在传送带上。

The filling tube then moves downward to be filled and the process continues. The filling of material can be any suitable filler such as a powder auger filler if you are handling powder or granule materials.
然后,填充管向下移动以进行填充,整个过程继续进行。如果你处理的是粉末或颗粒材料,那么材料的填充可以是任何合适的填充物,例如粉末提升器填充物。

Filled bags are discharged on a conveyor belt.
装满的袋子在输送带上排放。

Types  And Uses of Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines
垂直形式填充密封机的类型和用途

The machines are classified based on whether they run intermittently or continuously. You can also categorize them based on their power transmission mechanism.
这些机器根据它们是间歇运行还是连续运行进行分类。你也可以根据它们的动力传输机制对它们进行分类。

Intermittent and Continuous Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines
间歇式和连续式垂直填充密封机

An intermittent VFFS machine stops after material filling to allow for the sealing and cutting before the feeding continues.
间歇式 VFFS 密封机在材料填充后停止,以便在继续进料之前进行密封和切割。

This type of VFFS machine is suitable if you are packaging less delicate products, such as sugar or other powder products. As the packed bag drops on the conveyor belt, you should not be worried about any damage caused to the product.
这种类型的 VFFS 机适用于包装不那么精密的产品,如糖或其他粉末制品。当包装袋落在传送带上时,你不必担心会对产品造成任何损坏。

As the name denotes, a continuous vertical fill-form sealing machine operates continuously even during the sealing of the bags. How does this happen? 
顾名思义,即使在袋子密封期间,一台连续垂直填充型密封机也能持续运行。这是如何发生的?

The sealed sections of the filled bag move upwards and downwards as the filling and sealing process continues. This technique prevents sealed bags from dropping and causing material damage. So, a continuous VFFS machine ensures that your delicate products are safe.
随着填充和密封过程的持续,密封袋的密封部分会上下移动。这种技术可以防止密封袋掉落并造成材料损坏。因此,一台连续的 VFFS 机器可以确保您的精密产品的安全。

Pneumatic-Driven & Servo-Driven Vertical Fill Form Seal Machines.
气动驱动和伺服驱动的垂直填充型密封机。

You can also distinguish VFFS machines by how their packaging mechanisms are powered.
您还可以通过其包装机制的驱动方式来区分 VFFS 机器。

Pneumatic-Driven VFFS Equipment: Operation, Benefits,  & Drawbacks
气动驱动的 VFFS 设备:操作、优点和缺点

Pneumatic vertical fill-form seal machines rely on compressed air for operation. They are a cost-effective packaging solution if you have a small or medium production line. They are also easy to operate and are highly durable.
气动垂直填充式密封机依靠压缩空气进行操作。如果您有一条中小型生产线,它们是一种经济高效的包装解决方案。它们操作简单,具有高度的耐用性。

However, for pneumatic VFFS machines to operate, you require a constant supply of compressed air. So, this will increase your production cost because of power requirements.
然而,为了使气动 VFFS 机器运行,您需要稳定的压缩空气供应。因此,由于功率需求,这将增加您的生产成本。

Further, the machine operates at a lower speed compared to a servo-driven VFFS machine. What this means is low production capacity. Pneumatic-driven VFFS machines are only suitable for packaging certain materials as they are less adaptable.
此外,与伺服驱动的 VFFS 机器相比,该机器的运行速度较低。这意味着生产能力较低。气动驱动的 VFFS 机器只适合包装某些材料,因为它们适应性较差。

Servo-Driven VFFS Equipment: Operation, Benefits, & Drawbacks
伺服驱动的 VFFS 设备:操作、优点和缺点

Servo-driven VFFS machines or servos as they are called, are driven by servo motors. 
伺服驱动的 VFFS 机器 (又称伺服器) 由伺服电机驱动。

Compared to pneumatic-driven equipment, servo-driven VFF machines are highly energy-efficient. It also boasts high packaging speed, superior precision, and advanced software control capabilities. All these contribute to high production efficiency.
与气动驱动设备相比,伺服驱动 VFF 机具有高能效。它还具有高包装速度、卓越的精度和先进的软件控制能力。所有这些都有助于提高生产效率。

On the downside, because of their complex design and advanced features, servo-driven VFFS machines, by their complex features, are costly. You will also have to incur more operation and maintenance costs. 
从负面来看,由于其复杂的设计和先进的特性,伺服驱动的 VFFS 机器由于其复杂的特性而成本高昂。你还必须承担更多的运营和维护成本。

Therefore, selecting a VFFS machine capable of packaging products in a wide range of materials such as PET, PE, foil, cellophane, and paper laminates is prudent.
因此,选择能够包装各种材料产品的 VFFS 机器是谨慎的,这些材料包括 PET、PE、箔、玻璃纸和纸板。

Packaging speed and capacity包装速度和容量

If you produce products such as stick packs or other products in high volumes, you need to invest in high-speed vertical fill form seal machines like automatic servo-driven VFFs machines. However, for low material volumes investing in a high-speed VFFS machine is not a cost-effective option.
如果你需要大批量生产棒包或其他产品,你需要投资高速垂直填充型密封机,如自动伺服驱动的 VFFS 机器。然而,对于低材料量来说,投资高速 VFFS 机器并不是一个具有成本效益的选择。

Integration and Automation Capabilities集成和自动化能力

For a complex automated production line, you cannot ignore the importance of integration in achieving high production flexibility and efficiency. 
对于复杂的自动化生产线,你不能忽视集成在实现高生产灵活性和效率方面的重要性。

Therefore, you must consider only the VFFS machines which you can effectively integrate with your other production line machines such as auger fillers and cartoning machines. 
因此,你必须只考虑那些可以有效集成到其他生产线机器中的 VFFS 机器,例如铣刀充填机和纸箱机。

Maintenance Requirements维护要求

Without being aware of the maintenance requirements of your VFFS machine, your production line operations can be adversely affected. 
如果不了解 VFFS 机器的维护要求,你的生产线操作可能会受到不利影响。

Your operator, therefore, must have the necessary training and technical know-how to undertake the desired maintenance operations. 
因此,你的操作员必须具备必要的培训和技术知识,以承担所需的维护操作。

For instance, choosing a VFFS machine with an easy to setup photo eye mark sensor or camera will significantly reduce your production downtime.
例如,选择一台配备易于设置的照相眼标传感器或相机的 VFFS 机器将显著缩短生产停机时间。

The Manufacturer Support Capacity制造商的支持能力
