Animal feed is the traditional application for vertical forming, filling, and sealing machines: free-flowing dry pellets, large volumes, and bag sizes ranging from 1 to 20 kg. The General Guide to Pet Food Packaging<\/a> covers the broader landscape; here, we zoom in on the VFFS setup itself.<\/p>\n

The Lineup<\/h2>\n

Above the vertical form, fill, and seal machine<\/a> There is a multi-head weigher<\/a> For retail sizes up to approximately 5 kg. For bags weighing 10 to 20 kg, choose a net weight system: larger weighing bins, heavier dosing, slower speed.<\/p>\n

Speed per bag size<\/h2>\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Pocket-sized<\/th>\nDosing device<\/th>\nTypical speed<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1 to 5 kg retail<\/td>\nMultihead Weigher<\/td>\n30 to 60 bags per minute<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5 to 10 kg<\/td>\nMultihead weigher, heavy-duty model<\/td>\n15 to 30 bags per minute<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
10 to 20 kg<\/td>\nNetwork System<\/td>\n8 to 15 bags per minute<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n

The bandwidth depends on the grain shape, grease lubrication, and the smoothness of the feed\u2014a test run with your own product is the only reliable test.<\/p>\n

Grease and Dust: The Two Practical Challenges<\/h2>\n

Animal feed pellets contain fat that can smear pipes and load cells. A daily cleaning routine and covering the dosing unit keep accuracy within \u00b11%. Dust from broken pellets tends to seep into the seal seam; extraction at the filling station is not a luxury but a standard feature, as is also the case for granules in general<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bag Types<\/h2>\n

The pillowcase is sufficient for trademarks; the block-bottom bag<\/a> Stands upright on the shelf and requires a display stand with a bottom fold. For Dog food in retail displays<\/a> Please read the separate guide on presentation and regulations.<\/p>\n

Plastic Film and Sustainability<\/h2>\n

Fat migrates through the film: choose a film with a fat-category barrier. Mono-PE is recyclable and can be produced with a barrier layer on a per-project basis. Compare the options film consumption<\/a> per 1,000 bags among suppliers \u2014 for large volumes, that factor carries more weight than the difference in machine price.<\/p>\n

When a VFFS Isn't Suitable for Animal Feed<\/h2>\n

Wet food and fresh meals are not bulk goods: they are part of a Liquid and Paste Packaging Machine<\/a>. For small production runs of fewer than 20 bags per minute, a semi-automatic setup is sufficient.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n

Q: Which dosing system should I choose for 15-kg bags?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A net weighing system: larger hoppers and a heavier-duty design than a multihead weigher, with the VFFS bag-making machine mounted underneath.<\/p>\n

Q: How do I keep dust out of the seal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use extraction at the filling station, adjust field dosing, and select the appropriate film based on the particle size. Check the first bags after each changeover.<\/p>\n

Q: Can a single machine handle both retail and wholesale sizes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, within the frame range: from 1 to 20 kg requires two size ranges and a heavier version. Please specify the complete size range in the quote.<\/p>\n
