Loading capacity: up to 25 kg, 50 l volume and 1 500 bags/hour
The data sheet published on the VAI website indicates that the vertical packaging machine V5-10 Special HS can form bags from 10 to 25 kg, equivalent to about 50 liters of usable volume, with throughput reaching 1 500 bags/hour* under optimized line conditions. This range meets the needs of domestic and industrial pellet producers who want to concentrate production on a few packing patterns while maintaining high peak capacity in seasons of highest demand.
Double Alpha-3 weighing machine: flow continuity and micro-weighing reduction
The V5-10 Special HS integrates the Alpha-3 electronic scale, configured as a dual hopper version. The two channels work independently, making the material flow constant and minimizing micro-fragments due to filling. A self-calibration algorithm compensates for variations in pellet bulk density, keeping the weight tolerance within MID limits. The result is accurate packing that avoids costly over-fills and inventory disputes.
Dust containment: aspirated forming tube and reinforced welding
The pellets generate fine fractions that, if dispersed, increase wear on the sealing area and worsen pack cleanliness. The vertical packer mounts a forming tube with tangential suction: a controlled airflow intercepts the powder before it reaches the sealing section. The sealing bar works in a wide profile to create a reinforced seal capable of withstanding the vertical loads of stacks on pallets, reducing breakage during logistics.
Front coil change and IE4 motors: energy and operational efficiency
The front-opening film trolley allows the operator to change the reel without performing cumbersome operations. The reel change is performed in less than 2 minutes, ensuring high line availability. IE4 servo motors, combined with an inverter with braking energy recovery, cut overall power consumption compared to previous generation models-an advantage that affects the cost per bag significantly when working in three shifts.
