Design and 30 to 60 bags per minute."},"content":{"rendered":"<h2>In short<\/h2>\n<p>A bag-filling machine for pre-made bags picks up pre-assembled bags from a magazine, opens them, dispenses the product into them, and seals them\u2014typically at a rate of 30 to 60 bags per minute, as is standard in the industry. The difference from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lintyco.de\/en\/was-ist-eine-vertikale-schlauchbeutelmaschine\/\">vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machine<\/a>: The bag isn't formed from a roll of film; instead, it's purchased ready-made. In return, your product gets retail packaging that's ready for the shelf\u2014stand-up pouches, quad-seal bags, and bags with a spout.<\/p>\n<h2>How does the machine work?<\/h2>\n<p>The process takes place at six stations:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Bag Provision:<\/strong> A magazine holds a stack of pre-made bags. A suction gripper picks up the top bag one at a time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hang up:<\/strong> Gripper chains or turntables pick up the bag and transport it through all subsequent stations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open and rinse:<\/strong> Openers reach into the bag and spread it open. For sensitive products, a gas flush (nitrogen) reduces the oxygen content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dosing:<\/strong> The dosing system fills the product\u2014multi-head weighers for bulk materials, screw feeders for powders, and piston feeders for liquids and pastes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sealing:<\/strong> Heat-sealing jaws seal the bag. For stand-up pouches, the top seal is applied first, followed by the end seal\u2014with the sealing time and temperature controlled via the HMI based on the recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Termination and Support:<\/strong> The grippers place the bag onto a conveyor belt; date printers or checkweighers may follow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What bag sizes can the machine process?<\/h2>\n<p>The format portfolio is the main reason behind this machine design:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lintyco.de\/en\/doy-beutel\/\">Stand-up pouches \/ Doy bags<\/a> with and without a zipper<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lintyco.de\/en\/blockbodenbeutel\/\">Block-bottom bags<\/a> for coffee, tea, and snacks<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lintyco.de\/en\/quad-seal-beutel\/\">Quad-Seal Bags<\/a> with four upright edges for heavy weights<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lintyco.de\/en\/beutel-mit-ausguss\/\">Bag with spout<\/a> for liquids<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lintyco.de\/en\/4-seiten-siegelbeutel\/\">4-sided sealed pouch<\/a> for single-serving and sample sizes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All formats are sourced from third-party suppliers\u2014your manufacturer prints the film in advance using high-quality processes (matte film, soft-touch, windows), which is only possible to a limited extent in the VFFS process.<\/p>\n<h2>Overview of Key Metrics<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Key figure<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>Industry-standard range<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>Note<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Clock speed<\/td>\n<td>30 to 60 bags per minute.<\/td>\n<td>Depending on the format and product<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bag size<\/td>\n<td>100 \u00d7 150 mm to 250 \u00d7 350 mm<\/td>\n<td>Larger formats with additional stations<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Filling weight<\/td>\n<td>50 g to 2 kg<\/td>\n<td>product-specific<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Format Change<\/td>\n<td>10 to 30 minutes<\/td>\n<td>New format parts and bag magazine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bag material<\/td>\n<td>PE, PET\/PE, PET\/AL\/PE, paper composites<\/td>\n<td>heat-sealable bag opening<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Frame Material<\/td>\n<td>304 Stainless Steel<\/td>\n<td>parts that come into contact with the product<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>VFFS or pre-made bags\u2014what factors should be considered?<\/h2>\n<p>The two concepts differ: The VFFS machine is faster, and the material costs per bag are lower. The pouch packaging machine produces higher-quality retail packaging and handles formats that cannot be produced from a roll of film. The detailed decision-making framework with a comparison table can be found in the article <a href=\"https:\/\/lintyco.de\/en\/vffs-oder-vorgefertigte-beutel\/\">VFFS or pre-made bags<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>When is a machine the wrong choice?<\/h2>\n<p>For mass-produced goods with low added value, the price of pre-made pouches becomes a stumbling block: If you\u2019re packaging rice, sugar, or standard snacks in simple pillow-style pouches at a rate of 60 pouches per minute or more, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lintyco.de\/en\/vertikale-full-und-verschliesmaschine\/\">VFFS machine<\/a> the more cost-effective line. Even with very small portion sizes (stick packs, sachets), multi-lane VFFS systems operate at 200 or more bags per minute\u2014a pre-made bag line would be underutilized in this scenario. The same applies to standard pillow pouches without shelf-display requirements.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>How much does a bagging machine for pre-made bags cost?<\/h3>\n<p>The price depends on the format range, dosing system, hygienic design, and level of automation. A reliable quote requires product data and target output.<\/p>\n<h3>How fast is a bag-packaging machine?<\/h3>\n<p>30 to 60 bags per minute is standard in the industry; smaller formats run faster than large stand-up pouches. The cycle rate is usually limited by the dosing system and the bag material, not by the grippers.<\/p>\n<h3>What quality standards must the purchased bags meet?<\/h3>\n<p>The bag opening must be heat-sealable, and the seal must be strong enough to support the weight of the contents. Bags with uneven seal edges or statically charged openings cause opening errors\u2014the error rate in magazine operation is less than 1 % when bag quality is good.<\/p>\n<h3>Can a machine process different bag sizes?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, within the machine's format range. Switching from stand-up pouches to quad-seal pouches requires new format parts for the pouch magazine and the grippers\u2014see the article for details <a href=\"https:\/\/lintyco.de\/en\/formatwechsel-verpackungsmaschine\/\">Format Change<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it worth switching from VFFS to pre-made bags?<\/h3>\n<p>If your customers demand a premium look or if you want to target higher price points in retail, then yes.
