This Amtec VFFS-MW H14-S8 is a weigh packaging machine — also commonly referred to as a form-fill-seal system — combining a 14-head multihead weigher with a vertical form-fill-seal unit to automatically weigh, portion, and package bulk materials and granulates into a finished, sealed bag in a single continuous process. Amtec is a recognised manufacturer of packaging machinery, producing equipment for food, snack, and industrial processing applications where precise weighing and high-speed bagging are required.
The machine is designed for flexibility in bag format. In its standard configuration it produces pillow bags, and with the appropriate gusset tooling it can also form gusseted stand-up pouches. A separate pyramid-bag sealing unit can be fitted in place of the standard end-sealing unit for pyramid-shaped bag production, making the machine adaptable to different presentation requirements. The compact design operates without a platform stand, keeping the footprint relatively low.
The 14-head multihead weigher handles single-dump weighing across a range of 10 to 1,500 grams, with a weighing accuracy of X(0.5) and a volume of 2.5 litres per weighing head. Each head uses a double discharge flap. Product-contact parts are constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, with AISI 316 available as an optional upgrade for surcharge. The surface finish is plain as standard, with a dimpled surface also available as a paid option.
The VFFS unit runs at a maximum speed of 80 cycles per minute under neutral conditions. It accommodates film widths between 140 and 460 mm and produces bags ranging from 40 to 300 mm in length and 60 to 220 mm in width; double film pulling is possible for longer bag requirements. The machine runs on a 220 V, 50/60 Hz power supply, draws 4.9 kW, and requires compressed air at 0.4 to 0.8 MPa with a consumption of 0.2 m³/min. Product-contact parts on the VFFS side are likewise AISI 304 stainless steel, with 316 available at additional cost.
The control and automation package includes a touchscreen operating interface, a PLC, an eye-mark sensor for precise seal and cut positioning, a servo-driven end-sealing unit, and a servo motor for film pulling. A ribbon printer is fitted for printing batch numbers, dates, and best-before dates directly onto the packaging. Overall machine dimensions are 1,780 × 1,260 × 2,530 mm (L × W × H) and the unit weighs 890 kg. The machine is located in Germany and is offered in used condition with a build year of 2025.
