Low consumption of material, promotionally effective visual packaging through (partially) transparent film, controllable barrier properties and a space-saving design: there are many good reasons why form fill and seal bags are becoming increasingly popular as packaging solutions. This applies to almost all industries who need to pack bulky, dusty, powdery, fragile or odd shaped products. Modern form fill and seal machines have a very high output capacity and can even be used without interruption while the packaging roller is being changed. ensuring a high degree of efficiency - this is also supported by the fact that labels for the product identification, for instructions or for the product declaration, can be applied in the same process. HERMA has developed customised label applicators for integration into vertical and horizontal form fill and seal machines.
How do form fill and seal machines work?
- Vertical form fill and seal machines process flat film rolls into bags.
- These are formed fully automatically using a forming collar, filled through a filling tube and with the help of a dosing control and then finally sealed.
- Horizontal form fill and seal machines processes flat film rolls into flow wrapped bags. The packaging film is filled horizontally and bags are subsequently sealed.
What are the requirements placed on a form fill and seal label applicator?
- Compact dimensions for easy integration into existing machines
- This ensures high speeds even in continuous operation
- A label applicator speed precisely tuned to the form fill and seal drive
- Extremely reliable functionality even when the surface of the film is damp, wet or cold
- Precise application of the labels without the appearance of unsightly wrinkles.
What makes our HERMA 500 VFFS / HFFS label applicator the best solution
Always on hand
In terms of integration, the HERMA 500 is setting standards with a unique compact modular design for VFFS (Vertical Form Fill and Seal) and HFFS (Horizontal Form Fill and Seal) machines. The integrated servo control eliminates the need for a separate control cabinet. Thanks to its unique compact and modular design, the HERMA 500 can be modified for any installation situation and integrated into virtually any desired position, also, for the first time, directly on the filling tube.
Synchronised labeling
The master encoder of the HERMA 500 VFFS or HFFS always synchronises the application speed with the drive of the form fill and seal machine. The labeling can be performed in cycles at a standstill or while the machine is running or in continuous operation. The HERMA 500 easily keeps pace with the highest performance form fill and seal machines currently available, which produce up to 150 bags per minute.
A clean-cut affair
A challenge when applying labels to form fill and seal bags is to avoid the labels "folding", creating unsightly wrinkles or making them partially illegible. For this reason, both the HERMA 500 VFFS and HFFS apply the label directly to the flat moving film.
Reach your goal faster
The VFFS and HFFS versions are also characterised by impressive benefits in the HERMA 500. This includes the touchscreen, for example, which makes the label applicator as easy to operate as a smartphone. The menu is designed in such a way that you need no more than three clicks to the desired menu item. Thanks to the latest interfaces, it is also well prepared for Industry 4.0 requirements.
