Operation :
The Bhagwati Make vertical form, fill and seal machine is handles a single reel film stock. Max. Reel Dia. is 530 mm on 76 mm core. The machine has the facility to be provided with a variety of filling heads. Draw down of the film is through draw down belts controlled through a servo motor. The length of the bag is controlled by print registration system which is PLC based. For unprinted film, the bag length can be adjusted from the single touch key pad provided on the front panel. The machine will accept most types of laminated films up to a maximum of 500 gauges. It is important that the sealing medium incorporates the best possible slip characteristics. Pure unsupported polythene film may be used with special impulse sealing equipment.

Automatic Vertical Form Fill Seal Powder Packing Machine – Auger Type
Multipack Automatic Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) Powder Packing Machine – Auger Type is designed for automatic measuring, filling and sealing of powdered products into flexible pouches. The machine combines auger powder dosing with vertical form-fill-seal technology to provide a continuous and efficient powder packaging solution.
It is suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, chemical, cosmetic and industrial powders and can be configured for different powder characteristics, pouch sizes, filling weights and production requirements.
Automatic VFFS Powder Packing Machine
The machine forms a continuous film into a pouch, accurately doses the powder through an auger filler and then seals the filled pouch. This integrated process reduces manual handling and provides a streamlined automatic packing operation.
Working Process
Film Unwinding → Film Forming → Pouch Forming → Auger Powder Dosing → Vertical Sealing → Horizontal Sealing → Cutting → Finished Pouch Discharge
The machine can produce different pouch formats depending on the selected forming collar, sealing arrangement and film specifications.
Auger Powder Filling System
The auger filler provides controlled powder dosing into the formed pouch. Auger screw configuration can be selected according to the product’s:
- Bulk density
- Flowability
- Particle size
- Moisture characteristics
- Filling weight
- Required production speed
Servo-driven auger systems can be provided where precise control and repeatable dosing are required.
Key Features
- Automatic vertical form-fill-seal operation
- Auger-type powder dosing system
- Continuous film forming and sealing
- Adjustable filling quantity
- PLC + HMI touchscreen control
- Servo-driven auger option
- Servo film pulling option
- Automatic film tracking
- No Product – No Pack functionality, where configured
- Stainless steel construction
- Compact machine design
- Easy pouch-size adjustment
- Quick changeover options
- Suitable for laminated and heat-sealable packaging films
- Optional date/batch coding integration
- Optional nitrogen flushing for suitable applications
- Suitable for integration with upstream feeding and downstream cartoning systems
Applications
The machine is suitable for packing a wide range of powders, including:
- Pharmaceutical powders
- Nutraceutical powders
- Protein powder
- Milk powder
- Spice powder
- Flour

Product testing is recommended to establish the optimum auger and forming configuration for difficult-flowing or highly cohesive powders.
Packaging Formats
Depending on the machine configuration, the VFFS system can produce:
- Pillow pouches
- Center-seal pouches
- Sachet-style packs
- Small and medium-size powder pouches
- Customized pouch formats
Pouch dimensions and sealing patterns depend on the film width, forming tube and machine configuration.
