Bosch Sigpack VPF scalable vertical flat pouch packing machine

Bosch has developed the Sigpack VPF, a freely scalable vertical flat pouch packaging machine for powder filling.

Thanks to the modularisation of the dosing and cross-sealing units, the machine is freely scalable from two to up to 12 lanes. In addition, pouch sizes are easily adjustable. The decentralised stock of product makes it possible to package different products, such as salt and pepper, at the same time on one machine.

Exact dosing, deep pouch filling and hermetically tight seams reduce product loss and waste in the packaging process. The machine produces hermetically tight packages, with its long sealing times at low temperatures, ensuring consistently high product quality. Thanks to the hygienic and ergonomic design, the machine is easily visible and accessible, ensuring a safe cleaning process. Short cleaning and changeover times contribute to high overall equipment effectiveness.

The machine can be fitted with the Condition Monitoring Platform from Bosch, which provides real-time information about machines, systems or process status on-site, through continuous data acquisition, thereby indicating upcoming errors before downtime occurs. Based on predefined tolerance levels, for instance for temperature or cycle time, operators receive notifications of deviations via email, avoiding downtime and increasing machine availability.
