Vertical form fill seal packaging for high washdown environments

Ensure optimal packaging in demanding environments with a rugged, stainless steel solution engineered for high-pressure washdowns, maintaining performance without compromising hygiene standards.

Forms, Fills, and Seals Diverse Products

The V-45 VFFS from CV-TEK is engineered to withstand harsh environments, offering high versatility for a wide range of products including snacks, sauces, and detergents. Utilizing an intermittent motion system, it efficiently forms, fills, and seals packages with styles ranging from pillow to recloseable zipper. The machine features all-stainless steel construction, ensuring durability and compliance with USDA and FSMA regulations. Designed for rigorous washdown conditions, it supports up to 24-inch film rolls and includes a servo-driven vacuum belt for precise film handling. With options for pneumatic or servo jaw drives, the V-45 integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, maintaining energy efficiency and operational uptime. Its open frame design and sealed film rollers facilitate easy cleaning, while an optional stainless steel frame offers additional strength in caustic environments.
