End-of-Line & Palletizing
Bagging and Packaging Machine
Main function
Packaging machines ensure product packaging by integrating forming, filling, and sealing functions based on the selected technologies.
They are designed to adapt to product characteristics (shape, fragility, throughput) as well as production constraints, while ensuring protection, compliance, and process repeatability. Their integration into an automated line enables continuous flow, synchronization with upstream and downstream equipment, and precise control of packaging parameters.
Typical applications
| Application | Description | Operational objective |
|---|---|---|
| Horizontal packaging (HFFS) | Horizontal forming, filling, and sealing of pouches for individual or grouped products | Ensuring fast and stable packaging of solid or bulky products, individually packaged |
| Vertical packaging (VFFS) | Vertical forming and filling of bags for bulk or granular products | Optimize the packaging of fluid, powdered, granular or liquid products. |
| Thermoforming | In-line forming of trays from thermoformable film followed by filling and sealing | Ensure optimal protection and extended shelf life |
| Tray sealing | Sealing a film or lid onto preformed trays | Ensure product integrity, protection, and presentation for ready-to-eat products |
Key benefits
· Technology versatility: The different machine families (HFFS, VFFS, thermoformers, tray sealers) allow the packaging solution to be precisely adapted to the product type, packaging format, and production speed.
· Optimal product protection and preservation: Depending on the technology selected (vacuum, modified atmosphere packaging, hermetic sealing), the machines ensure both mechanical and sanitary protection throughout the logistics chain.
· Seamless integration with automated lines: Designed for continuous operation, these machines integrate easily with conveyors, inspection systems, end-of-line equipment, and palletizing systems, ensuring optimal synchronization.
· Operational performance optimization: Packaging automation reduces manual handling, increases packaging consistency, and improves overall line efficiency (OEE).
· Hygienic and regulatory compliance: Available in industrial or sanitary versions, these machines meet food industry requirements including cleanability, appropriate materials, and hygienic design.
