Bosch SVI 2600 VFFS machine

The SVI 2600 vertical form, fill and seal (VFFS) machine from Bosch Packaging Technology serves a range of packaging applications, including confectionery, snacks, grains and other food and non-food products.

The machine is suitable for small- and mid-sized manufacturers looking to automate their packaging, as well as larger producers seeking equipment for smaller volumes or to test market new products.

According to the company, the SVI 2600 is designed to easily integrate with users’ existing equipment. The servo-driven sealing jaws and vacuum belts are claimed to facilitate high seal precision, ensuring package integrity regardless of film thickness and delivering fast operations with minimum machine wear. The company says this is beneficial for manufacturers working with a range of films.

Through simplified design and tool-less adjustments, the machine provides user-friendly operation. The intermittent motion bagger can produce pillow, gusseted and block-bottom bags at rates of up to 100 bags/min. The open-frame construction allows easy access for maintenance and cleaning, while providing maximum uptime.

A large film reel diameter of 650 mm reduces the number of film changes required. Insulated handles on the cross seal bar help protect the operator and accelerate changeovers.

In addition, the large human-machine interface (HMI) with intuitive icon-based navigation enables ease of use and minimal operator training.
