To improve logistics efficiency, companies are investing in automation technologies to streamline their packaging operations. Vertical bagging machines are proving to be the equipment of choice, offering significant advantages in terms of productivity and flexibility.
Sermatec presents the features, benefits and operation of the SACMI range of vertical bagging machines, available in different models depending on the desired application: VPS25C, VPS40C.
Why choose Sacmi vertical bagging machines?
Whatever the food or non-food product to be bagged, packaging plays a key role in its commercial success. Well-designed packaging not only protects and enhances the product, it also facilitates handling and optimises logistical processes right through to the end consumer. Sermatec is committed to meeting these requirements by constantly developing innovative solutions, enabling its customers to package their products quickly, efficiently and repeatably.
How do I choose the right vertical bagging machine?
Choosing the right vertical bagging machine is essential to maximising production efficiency. First of all, it is important to identify the company's specific needs: type of products to be packaged (powders, granules, liquids, solids), desired production rate and packaging formats. Compatibility with packaging materials is also a key criterion, particularly to meet environmental requirements. Next, the level of automation must be adapted to production volumes: a semi-automatic machine may be suitable for small production runs, while a fully automated version will optimise productivity.
Vertical bagging machines come in two main types of operation: automatic and manual. intermittent movement and continuous movement. Intermittent motion machines operate in bursts: the packaging film advances, stops for filling and sealing, then resumes its movement. This process is suitable for moderate speeds and for products requiring greater precision during dosing or sealing, such as fine powders or fragile products. Continuous-motion bagging machines, on the other hand, do not stop: the film unwinds continuously, taking the shape of the desired bag by means of a forming tube, and simultaneously the product is inserted and the seals made. This technology offers a much higher output, ideal for high-production industries such as food processing and pharmaceuticals. The choice between these two systems therefore depends on the volume of production, the type of product and the level of precision required.
