Versatile and Precise Packaging Solutions

At VDL Packaging, we offer a range of Intermittent Motion Packaging Machines designed to provide flexibility and precision for various packaging applications. These machines are ideal for operations that require precise control over each packaging cycle.

What is an Intermittent Motion Packaging Machine?

An Intermittent Motion Packaging Machine operates in a start-stop motion, pausing at each stage of the packaging process. This allows for precise control and adjustment of each step, making it suitable for a wide range of products and packaging formats. Here's how it works:

Forming the Bag: The machine unwinds a roll of flat plastic film, which is guided by a forming tube to shape the film into a pouch of the desired size.
Filling the Bag: Once the pouch is formed, it is held open by a clamp. The product is then dispensed into the open pouch using various filling mechanisms, such as weight, auger, pump, or volumetric cup, depending on the product's characteristics.
Sealing the Bag: After filling, the pouch is heat-sealed closed at the top. Some machines can also create a seal at the bottom of the pouch, depending on the desired style (e.g., pillow pouch vs. doy pouch).
Trimming and Completing the Package: After sealing, the pouch is cut from the remaining film. The finished package can then have additional features added, such as a date code, a tear notch for easy opening, or a hole punch for hanging.
