How to Packaging

Snack, Candy, etc.

Snack,Candy,etc. (Solid)

Item to be wrapped

FOOD: Snack, Chocolate, Candy, Cookies, Rice, Rice cake, Nuts, Beans, etc.
NONFOOD: Petfood, Cat's litter, Silica gel,etc

The point to note for packaging solid product.

Measurement for crack and break

The product that is easy to break has to be paied attention the crack and break as the product is fed vertically while packaging. For such product, the VFFS machine with short-drop distance would be a solution.

Seal contamination

If the snack or rice cracker has the seasoning powder such as solt, mixed flavor or pepper. Those powder may be dropped in different timing with the product that cause the contamination in the seal area. tam VFFS machines have fall-shut device mounted just before the end-sealing in order to suppress the occurance of contamination.

Seal failure, Wrinkle

If the filling weight is over 500g, or the voluminous package though the single piece is light, the bag may have detachment of end seal or may have wrinkle(dart). As for the measurement of seal detachment, the mechanism for soften the drop impact before sealing could be adopted. For wrinkle(dart) problem, the mechanism that spreads the film in lateral direction just before sealing could be adopted.

Nonfood packaging

We have experienced packaging nonfood product such as cilica gel, cat's litter, pet food(dry food). The principal point of packaging is same with food products. The cilica gel bounces when dropping to the metal material, so the rubber sheet on top of the dropping surface is necessary.

Packaging Bag width 50mm~220mm

Feature

The TWJB is an ideal model, combining both "made in Japan" quality with affordability. Designed with the aim of holding costs down, the high-performance model of the TWJB, which comes factory installed with major functions, can be used "as is" and achieve optimum cost performance. This intermittent model can produce 100 bag/min, sealing quality is secured by servo-driven 2-link end-seal heater system and smooth film feeding by adopting vacuum chamber type film tensioning unit.In case of usage by combination with our FRJB Auger filling machine, the operation can be controlled by one integrated control panel.

Quattro-pack (Tetrahedron), Bag Width 40mm~95mm

Feature

This Vertical Form Fill Seal Machine(VFFS)machine can be used to produce flat-bag, quattro-pack, and three-sided seal bag. It has robustness following the vertical pillow-pouch filling machine, and moreover, is capable of handling diverse product shapes and still fit within confined space. Changeover from flat-bag to quattro pack is easily possible by swiveling the end-seal unit.。

tam packaging machine for food and nonfood products

Machine design based on the experiences.

From our long-year experiences we have knowledges of product nature that we have to pay attention. As descrived in above, we can offer the solutions to reduce the cracks and break, reduce the sealing failure and contamination.

Increasing the product value

If the product contains oil, it is likely to be oxidized. For those product, filling inert gas such as nitrogen can be filled in the bag while packing to avoid oxidation.
For easy opening, the notch can be cut.

Wide variety of packaging styles

In our VFFS machine, various bag styles are lined-up like Zipper bag, the tetrahedral "Quattro-pack", sachet, chained bags. tam offer the best style meet with customer's request.
