Velteko Vertical Packaging FAQs

What bag types can a Velteko vertical form fill seal machine make?

Velteko vertical form fill seal machines can make over 120 bag types, including pillow bags, gusseted bags, block-bottom bags, stand-up doypack pouches and zip-lock bags. Proquip Solutions is the authorised New Zealand distributor for Velteko. See the Velteko vertical packaging range.

How can I offer more pack sizes and bag styles without buying another machine?

Choose a vertical packaging machine that can change bag style and size with a format change rather than a new machine. With over 120 bag types available, one Velteko machine can run a family-size gusseted bag, a smaller pillow bag and a stand-up pouch, so you can launch new products, trial new pack sizes or meet a retailer's format request on your existing line.

What is a doypack machine?

A doypack machine forms, fills and seals stand-up pouches, often with a zip closure. Stand-up pouches stand upright on the shelf, are resealable and use less material than rigid packs, which has made them popular in NZ retail for snacks, coffee, dried fruit, pet treats and powders. The Velteko Doypack-360 makes stand-up pouches from a roll of film. See the Velteko Doypack-360.

What products can be packed on a Velteko machine?

Velteko machines pack dry powders, granules, snacks, cereals, coffee, frozen vegetables, dairy powders, pet food, seeds, fertilisers and pharmaceutical products. The Washdown-360 is built for wet, sticky and hygiene-sensitive products where the machine needs to be cleaned thoroughly with water. See the Velteko Washdown-360.

How do I package frozen vegetables in bags?

Frozen vegetables are usually packed on a vertical form fill seal machine fed by a multihead weigher, which portions free-flowing frozen product quickly and accurately. The machine needs to keep pace with the freezer output so product doesn't start to thaw, and the film and seals need to stay strong at freezer temperatures. A washdown design makes cleaning easier where ice and moisture build up. Velteko vertical packaging machines are used for frozen vegetable packing.

Which dosing system works with a vertical packaging machine?

The dosing system depends on how your product flows. Auger fillers suit powders such as flour, milk powder and protein, multihead weighers suit snacks, confectionery and frozen foods, and volumetric cup fillers suit free-flowing granules such as rice, sugar and seeds. Velteko supplies dosing devices, including the DOS auger filler, to match its vertical packaging machines. See Velteko dosing devices.

What is a case packer and how can it reduce packing labour?

A case packer automatically places finished bags or pouches into shipping cartons at the end of the packaging line, ready for palletising. It removes repetitive hand packing, keeps up with the packaging machine's output and reduces the risk of strain injuries. Combined with a Velteko dosing device and vertical packaging machine, it creates a complete line from bulk product to packed cartons. Proquip supplies, installs and supports complete packaging lines in New Zealand. See Velteko case packers.
