This Amtec VFFS-MW H14-S8 is a weigh packaging machine — a vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) system paired with a 14-head multihead weigher — designed for the automated weighing, filling, and sealing of pre-formed bags in a single continuous process. Machines of this type are widely used in food processing, snack production, and industrial bulk-goods packaging wherever accurate portion control and high-throughput bag forming are required. Amtec is a recognised manufacturer of packaging machinery, producing systems for the food and non-food industries with a focus on weighing and bagging solutions.
The machine is built without a platform stand, giving it a compact footprint, and it handles bulk materials and granulates. It can produce pillow bags and, with the appropriate gusset tool fitted, gusseted stand-up pouches; a special sealing unit can alternatively be mounted to produce pyramid-shaped bags. The operator interface is a touchscreen, and the machine is controlled by a PLC. Additional standard equipment includes an eye-mark sensor for precise seal and cut positioning, a servo-driven end-sealing unit, a servo motor for film pulling, and a ribbon printer for applying batch numbers, best-before dates, and other variable data.
The multihead weigher carries 14 weighing heads, each with a chamber volume of 2.5 litres. The single-dump weighing range runs from 10 g to 1,500 g, and the system achieves a weighing accuracy of X(0.5). Each head uses a double discharge flap. Product-contact surfaces are finished in AISI 304 stainless steel as standard, with a plain surface finish; both a dimpled surface finish and AISI 316 stainless steel are available as paid upgrades.
The VFFS unit is rated at a maximum speed of 80 cycles per minute under neutral conditions. It accommodates bag sizes from 40 to 300 mm in length and 70 to 270 mm in width, with double film pulling available for longer bags, and accepts film widths between 160 mm and 560 mm. Product-contact parts on the VFFS section are likewise AISI 304 as standard, with AISI 316 available at additional cost. The machine runs on a 220 V, 50/60 Hz power supply and has a rated power consumption of 5.5 kW. Compressed air is required at 0.4–0.8 MPa, with a consumption of 0.2 m³/min.
Overall dimensions are 2,266 mm long by 1,416 mm wide by 2,538 mm tall, and the machine weighs 970 kg. The unit is located in Germany and is offered in used condition from 2025.
