Entry-level VFFS

Entry-level VFFS technology suits a wide range of industries

Bosch’s entry-level SVI 2600 VFFS machine is an intermittent vertical bagger that is now available to our customers. The machine caters to the needs of small to mid-sized manufacturers who are interested in automating their packaging processes. It also gives large manufacturers a cost-effective solution for small-volume processing or for test marketing new products. 

For reliable high-efficiency packaging, the SVI 2600 incorporates the same technologies employed on Bosch’s higher-end baggers including servo-driven cross-sealing units, vacuum belts and Bosch/Beckhoff controls. The intermittent motion bagger can be easily combined with existing equipment. It produces pillow, side-gusseted and block-bottom bags with rates of up to 120 bags per minute.

The SVI 2600 is a great solution for manufacturing mid-speed, standard bag styles. These can be pillow, gusseted and block bottom bags.

The machine can package a wide range of foods such as snacks, grains, confections, coffee, pet food, cereal, powders and pasta as well as a range of non-foods. We particularly like its ability to easily integrate with various dosing devices ranging from check weighers and augers to cup fillers, as well as with a variety of down-stream secondary packaging solutions.
