How does a vertical packaging machine work?
A vertical machine forms the bag from flat film fed from a reel. The film wraps around the forming tube, and the machine makes the vertical seam.
The doser discharges the product through the tube into the bag. Horizontal sealing jaws close the bag and separate it from the next one. The bag format is changed by replacing the forming tube.
MF TECNO machines use hot-bar or impulse sealing. On vertical machines for 5–50 kg sacks the manufacturer uses impulse sealing.
How do dosing methods differ?
A net weigher weighs the dose before it enters the bag, which gives higher output. A gross weigher weighs the product directly in the bag during filling.
Volumetric dosers (cup, screw and belt) measure the product by volume. They are used when dosing by weight is not required. The feeder type is chosen according to how freely the product flows.
Which materials does MF TECNO use?
Packaging machine frames are made of AISI 304 stainless steel or painted steel. For aggressive products, product-contact parts are made of AISI 316. Some conveyors and elevators are available in ATEX versions for explosive atmospheres.
How does Steiner Ukraine select MF TECNO packaging equipment?
For selection we need the product characteristics: flowability, particle size and dust content. We also need the pack weight and type, the film or bag material, the hourly output and the room dimensions.
From this data we define the packaging machine, the doser and the end-of-line equipment. Steiner Ukraine supplies packaging systems across Ukraine, provides spare parts and carries out installation and service.
