The picture shows the vertical fill and seal machine for packaging
products into bags. The bag material comes from a plastic film coil
that is unwinded, then it is shaped into the tube by a mechanical
mandrel and at the same time the tube is sealed vertically. The
feeder movement is intermittent and the feed length corresponds
with the bag length. Once the bag is fed, the horizontal sealer
closes the bag, so it can be filled with the product. After that, the
process starts again, feeding the new bag.
