vertical packaging

As a producer of potatoes, you know that reliable packaging makes all the difference in shelf life, protection and presentation. VH Packaging offers advanced vertical packaging machines specifically designed to meet strict HACCP regulations and streamline your production process.

We use our<br> <span>Centurion</span> for both<br> bulk and small-scale<br> packaging.

Packed with freshness

We use our
Centurion for both
bulk and small-scale
packaging.

The Centurion can be operated in intermittent mode, and the same machine can also run continuously with a simple conversion that takes less than 10 minutes. This optimizes capacity for both large and small weights.

We support the large packages during packaging, which ensures the correct closure.

It is important that we control the residual oxygen value of these packages per bag, and we optimize this completely with the correct gas flushing setup. This is processed program-controlled.

Our sealing system for creating gas-tight packaging has been completely adapted. Moisture and crumbs released are taken into account. The adapted profiles and heat management ensure optimal efficiency.

The most common packaging for this application is pillow bags.

but washed potatoes.

This product is very susceptible to falling, but by using the right sizes, we limit falling and jamming. In addition, it is extremely important to use the right sizes to prevent blockages in the tube.

The Velteko machines that we often use in this application are multifunctional, designed to achieve the right output with different materials. For example, we are one of the fastest when it comes to paper film with larger weights.

Customized inserters for stand-up pouches and a tray set with carrying option ensure unique packaging.

Fast changeover times between packaging types ensure that the same product can be quickly produced in different packaging for different customers.
