Intermittent or Continuous Motion?
Benefits of Continuous Motion
in addition to our standard Intermittent Machines we offer the option of Continuous Motion across the LE VFFS Range. This will give our customers further speed options, and offer potential energy savings, leading to faster payback times on investment in each machine.
One further advantage over intermittent that Continuous Motion machines offer is in the movement of the jaws. The jaws rise upwards as the product is released downwards to fill the bag. This produces a smoother fill, negating problems where air could become trapped under products such a lettuce leaves, causing irregular fills.
This motion also reduces product damage such as bruising to fruit and other products.

This is a shot from our factory of a Line Equipment built Gantry Platform with a LE250 machine being filled from a volumetric filler ready to slotted in to a production line to package a well known wallpaper paste at 72 bags per. minute.
Our VFFS range is usually just the starting point. Each machine in the range gives an indication of footprint and bag size capabilities, but the real value comes in our ability to adapt and optimise the machine to suit our customers’ specific requirements.
