How a Vertical Bag Packaging Machine Works

General Machine Structure

The machine develops vertically with different functional sections:

- Upper part: weighing and dosing system

- Central part: bag formation from plastic film

- Lower part: sealing and final cutting

Detailed Operating Process

1. Product Loading

- The pasta is loaded into a feeding hopper in the upper part of the machine

- A gentle agitator system keeps the product moving to avoid compaction

- The product descends by gravity toward the weighing scales

2. Multihead Weighing System

- The machine typically uses 10-14 independent electronic scales (multihead weighers)

- Each scale receives a quantity of product and weighs with gram precision

- The central computer calculates which combination of scales reaches exactly the target weight

- The selected scales simultaneously discharge the product toward the drop tube

3. Bag Formation

- A roll of plastic film (usually polyethylene or laminate) unwinds from the top

- The film passes through a "forming tube" that gives it the tubular shape

- A longitudinal sealer creates the vertical seam of the bag as the film descends

- By changing the film advance length and the set weight, bags of different weights can be created using the same forming tube

4. Packaging Process

- The machine automatically forms the bottom of the bag through a cross seal

- The weighed product descends through the drop tube and fills the bag

- During the fall, an air blowing system can help distribute the product evenly

5. Final Sealing and Cutting

- Once filled, the bag is sealed at the top with a second cross seal

- Simultaneously with the top sealing, it is cut to separate it from the continuous film

- The finished bag falls onto a conveyor belt or collection container

Control and Safety Systems

Automatic Controls:

- Weight control: verifies that each package meets tolerances

- Seal control: sensors verify the quality of seals

- Product presence control: optical sensors verify filling

Safety Systems:

- Metal detectors to identify any contamination

- Automatic ejection systems for defective packages

- Emergency stops and operator protection systems

Adjustable Parameters

The operator can set:

- Target weight of packages

- Bag length

- Temperature and time of seals

- Production speed (typically 30-120 packages/minute)

- Acceptable weight tolerances

Specific Features for Filled Pasta

For this type of delicate product, the machines feature:

- Gentle drop systems to avoid breaking ravioli/tortellini

- Temperature control to preserve freshness

- Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) capability to increase shelf-life

- Easily washable surfaces and components for food hygiene

This type of machine ensures high productivity, weighing precision, and consistent packaging quality, essential for fresh products like filled pasta.
