Vf/f/s Bagger Offers Flexibility in Materials

The Hayssen Mini vf/f/s machine offers a small footprint and quick changeover between paper, plastic, and other materials.

The Hayssen Mini vf/f/s bagger is recommended for brands that are interested in quickly implementing recyclable flexible packaging for their products.

Demonstrated at the show, the new Hayssen Mini vertical form/fill/seal bagger from BW Flexible Systems allows users to run either paper or film, with a changeover time of less than 10 minutes between materials. Explains Dan Irod, Director of Business Development for BW Flexible Systems, the bagger is the fulfillment of a request from one of the company’s customers seven years ago who wanted to switch from paper to plastic for 100% of its bags. “Until that moment, we had never evaluated the possibility of working with paper, so it was a totally new thing for us,” Irod says.

In developing the system, BW Flexible collaborated with materials suppliers to find a paper-based web material that could seal on its equipment. Options include a paper web with a peelable film layer that can be removed, allowing the paper to be recycled or composted, or paper with a thin layer of PE for barrier.
