There are two main types of form fill seal coffee packaging equipment: VERTICAL FORM FILL SEAL (VFFS) and horizontal form fill seal (HFFS). The main difference being that VFFS machines perform their operations in a vertical manner (taking up less floorspace but requiring additional height) and HFFS machines do so in a horizontal manner (taking up more floorspace with less height).
Vertical form fill seal equipment is by far the most popular and widely-used packaging machine type in the coffee industry. Here’s why:
Basically, a VFFS coffee packaging machine uses a special former to create coffee bags from a large roll of packaging film (called rollstock), fills the newly formed bags with coffee, and seals them shut. These actions take place very quickly and sometimes simultaneously to the beat of about 30 - 200 bags per minute. Speeds are largely dependent on machine construction and your product.
