Regular maintenance is key to keeping a VFFS machine running consistently and reducing unplanned downtime. Operators should routinely inspect pulling belts, sealing jaws, and film tracking alignment, as well as monitor temperature controls to ensure consistent sealing. Cleaning the forming set and removing product buildup around the seal area also helps prevent wear and maintain bag quality.
Unified Flex designs its machines with open-frame access and uses standard, off-the-shelf components, making maintenance simpler and faster. This approach allows operators to perform adjustments, replace wear parts, and resume production quickly, minimizing downtime while extending the equipment’s overall service life.
