HIGHEST RELIABILITY
MODULAR DESIGN
NO TOOLS NEEDED
EXCEPTIONAL BAG FINISH
AND EXTREMELY RELIABLE
Are you looking for the highest reliability with minimal maintenance?
Do you want the flexibility to change the bag styles when market trends
change, but still at an affordable price per bag? Then VDL Packaging's
UVA Newton is what you’re looking for!
The UVA Newton 400 is part of our intermittent VFFS line-up. The Servo
driven intermittent technology offers clear benefits for the industry,
fewer moving parts what makes it very reliable, cost-efficient with an
exceptional high bag finish. The large seal bars deliver a wide range
of bag widths to a maximum of 400 mm for a pillow bag. The UVA
Newton can reach an intermittent speed of up to 120 pillow bags per
minute.

SMART VACUUM TECHNOLOGY
QUIETLY POWERFUL, RELIABLY FRESH
The UVA Newton can be equipped with an advanced vacuum system designed to elevate packaging performance across multiple dimensions. By efficiently removing excess air from each bag prior to sealing, the system plays a critical role in preserving product quality, extending shelf life, and enhancing the overall appearance of the final package.
This integrated vacuum functionality is particularly valuable for products sensitive to oxidation, moisture, or contamination. Whether you're packaging snacks, powders, or specialty items, the vacuum system ensures a consistently tight, clean finish that not only protects the contents but also improves shelf presentation.
Working seamlessly with the UVA Newton modular and servo-driven architecture, the vacuum system operates in perfect sync with the filling and sealing processes. This ensures minimal cycle time impact while maintaining high throughput and precision. The result is a packaging solution that combines speed, reliability, and product integrity—without compromise.
In addition, the vacuum system supports a wide range of bag styles, including pillow, gusseted, block bottom, and 4-corner seal formats. It can also be paired with other advanced features such as gas flushing, reclosable zippers, and impulse sealing with water cooling, offering unmatched flexibility for evolving packaging needs.
