Differences Between VFFS Bag Types

Vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machinery is used for packaging many different types of products in a wide variety of bags. Many food and nonfood items rely on VFFS equipment for high-quality packaging. This type of equipment is designed to handle various widths, lengths, and shapes of bags, depending on the specific application. These are simply some of the many bags VFFS machinery is intended to package.

Pillow Style Bag

The pillow style bag is simple, economical, and subsequently popular. Candy, coffee, cereal, fresh fruit, vegetables, hardware, and many other types of products use this bag style for product containment. Their simplicity makes them ideal for high-speed packaging applications, with lower film cost.

Quad Seal Bag

Another popular type of bag for VFFS packaging is the quad seal bag, which is a versatile type of stand-up bag that can hold a wide range of products. It’s most commonly used to hold coffee, candy, snacks, pet food, and candy. Unlike other types of bags, it can hold its shape when placed on shelves and is capable of supporting heavier amounts of product.

Doy Pack

The doy pack bag is a pouch that can stand upright, and is often used to contain premium products such as coffee, pasta, pet food, powders, and snacks. Zippers are applicable on the top of this pouch-style bag.

Stand-up Bag with Carry Handle

This bag’s design is similar to the quad seal bag, except it’s designed for even heavier product fills. This type of package often holds chemicals, cleaning products, pet food, and other denser products. The handle allows users to carry the bag with more ease than other stand-up bags.

Tetrahedron Bag

Tetrahedron bags are designed for smaller single-serve products, intended to stand out while remaining compact. Tea, coffee, spices, candies, nuts, and spices are some of the products that can benefit from this type of bag.

Gusseted Bag

This pouch’s box-like design is similar to stand-up bag models, with collapsible gusseted sides and the ability to either stand up or rest on its sides. This particular bag model is used to handle cereal, nuts, pet food, coffee, candy, powders, and more. Its design makes it ideal for case packing and pallet stacking. Add-ons such as zippers, degassing valves, carry handles, punch holes, and more work well with this design.

Stick Pack Bag

Like tetrahedron bags, stick pack bags are designed for single-serve products. Their thin, accessible design makes them ideal for liquids, powders, and granular products, among others.

Use VFFS Machinery for Many Other Types of Bags

These are simply some of the popular bag designs that VFFS machinery is used to package. Sachets, three-side sealed bags, and others can utilize VFFS equipment in the packaging process to maximize productivity and quality. High Performance Packaging carries a wide selection of top-quality used packaging equipment to implement in your facility, designed to meet the standards of many different industries.

Are You Missing Out on Brand Name Advantage?

If you’ve taken the time to install quality, brand name packaging equipment in your facility, you may think your work is done and you can kick back and watch the day fly by you. But that’s simply not true. Having the best brand names in your workspace won’t mean much if you or your staff doesn’t know how to use the machines to their full potential. So how can you be sure that you’re getting the most out of your investment?

Thoroughly Learn the Machinery Yourself

In order to best use something, you need to be thoroughly versed in what it’s supposed to do, how it works, how to know if something is wrong, and possibly even how to fix problems, provided you have the repair know-how. Failing to understand the ins and outs of any type of used Hayssen equipment or other brand-name machinery may mean that you’re not getting as much work out of it or taking advantage of its capabilities as you could be. Make sure you discuss any issues you have and ask the packaging equipment company your purchased from any questions you may have. Their customer service staff as well as machinery experts will be able to offer you the knowledge you need to truly excel.

Teach Your Staff

Once you’ve learned all about the products in your workplace, it’s time to teach your staff what you’ve learned. You can’t be expected to be around for questioning or repairs at all times, so it’s important that people working for you who are using the equipment know the same things you do. Prepare a booklet for them to keep on hand or to study, or if necessary, ask someone from the place you purchased the equipment from to provide teaching materials.

The more you and your staff know about a product, the better the equipment can work for you.

Benefits Of Buying Used/Refurbished Equipment Instead of New

When you run a plant that focuses on packaging products, you’ll eventually think about ways you can streamline your work processes or make the day more productive. Usually, one solution is to get new equipment for the workplace, but that can be prohibitively expensive for some companies. The option to buy used and refurbished equipment is out there, but you may not be aware of the benefits aside from cost. What else can you gain from buying refurbished?

Training Options

Purchasing refurbished or used Bartelt equipment may sound great in theory, but if you are unsure of how to properly use your new-to-you machine, you’re losing out on productivity. Reading a manual isn’t the same as having someone available to teach you hands-on how to use a product. If you buy from a new-machines-only dealer, you run the risk of purchasing from a company who doesn’t much care about what happens to their product. They may only be interested in their bottom line, and won’t be there if you have any questions. If you purchase used and refurbished equipment, the company will likely be more invested in their product, having spent the time to update, fix and repair, and clean it before reselling it. They want someone else to get use out of it, and will be more willing to show you.

Knowledgeable Customer Service

Likewise, if you have any problems or concerns down the road, a new-machinery seller might simply have you speak with the manufacturer. Depending on the manufacturer’s availability, you may not get answers in a timely fashion. Purchasing used packaging and processing machinery gives you a better chance of dealing with people who will be willing to take the time to help you.

If you’re on the fence and can’t decide whether you want to spring for new machinery or purchase refurbished equipment, keep in mind the educational, and thus productivity, benefits that come along with buying used.

The Importance of Staff Training for Packaging Equipment

You can have top of the line equipment in your facility or factory, but that won’t mean anything if you and your staff don’t know how to properly use it. Staff training for machinery is what really makes having great equipment shine. Educated employees will be able to better utilize the products made available to them, and they may be able to troubleshoot if something goes wrong in your facility. So how do you go about educating your staff as efficiently as you can?

Learn the Equipment On Your Own and Teach Your Staff

Purchasing used packaging and processing machinery from some vendors puts you in the position, sometimes, of having to navigate your way through learning how to use it on your own. This can be difficult, especially if you aren’t the primary user of the machinery. In order to teach your staff how to use the product, though, you should first learn how to do so yourself. You are likely very busy, but it’s still always helpful to have at least one person who is well-versed enough to teach the inner workings of a machine to the staff. If not you, select a few managers who can learn the ins-and-outs of a piece of equipment and can teach employees how to use it. Some machinery suppliers will even provide equipment training to their customers, which is great if you want to learn the machines so you can teach your staff.

Purchase Equipment from Customer-Centered Vendors

One way to avoid having snags in the learning process is to order and purchase your packaging equipment from vendors who make their customers a priority. If you’re interested in equipment from Yamato for sale but aren’t entirely sure how to use those machines, because they’re different from your current equipment, purchasing the machinery from a seller who will take the time to provide customer service and answer questions about the product is best. These vendors will take you through, step-by-step, any issues you have with your purchase, whereas other vendors will simply refer you to the manufacturer.

Once you’re aware of how to use a machine, or you know that the vendor is there to answer any staff questions about it, you’ll be happily getting the most out of your machinery.

What is the Difference Between Used and Refurbished Machinery?

If you’re in the market for used Ishida weighers or other used packaging and processing machinery, you’ve probably come across the option to buy either used or refurbished. You might think that these two classifications mean you’re getting the same quality of product, but that’s not quite the case. There are some things you should know before committing to a purchase, to ensure that you get the best machinery for your money.

What’s the Difference?

The difference between used equipment and refurbished equipment is simple: while both have been pre-owned and used, refurbished equipment has been fixed, cleaned, and readied for a long life, while used equipment is more of a gamble in terms of what you’re getting. Used my offer a slightly lower price than refurbished, but it’s also not a guarantee that what you’re buying is going to be in top-quality condition when you get it. Whether you’re concerned about simply saving a few dollars (generally, the cost difference between used and refurbished products is nominal) or just want the best quality product, one of these conditions is the obvious better choice.

Which One Is Better Than The Other?

In most cases, refurbished machinery from a reliable packaging equipment company will be a better investment than simple used machinery. Generally, companies who take the time to refurbish their machinery before reselling it have a vested interest in keeping their customers happy. Used sellers may only care about making the fastest dollar, and if you ever have problems with the machines you buy, you might be out of luck. Purchasing refurbished equipment means you’re getting a top quality product, probably from a brand name that you know and trust, and you’re getting customer service along with it. If you have any questions, concerns, or issues with the machines you buy, the company you purchased from will be there to help.
