Why Buy a Used Form Fill Seal Machine Through CoffeeTec
A form fill seal (FFS or VFFS) machine handles three jobs in one pass: it forms a bag from roll stock, fills it with whole bean or ground coffee, and seals it airtight. That seal keeps oxygen and moisture out, so the coffee holds its aroma and flavor longer on a shelf or in transit. Buying used gets a roastery this same capability at a lower entry cost than new, and every machine listed here comes from a working roastery or packaging operation, not a broker guess.
Common Bag and Format Types
Coffee packaging lines built on form fill seal technology typically produce one or more of these formats:
- Pillow bags, the standard flat-bottom bag for whole bean and ground retail coffee
- Gusseted stand-up pouches, popular for shelf presence and resealable zippers
- Frac packs and portion packs, sized for single-serve or foodservice runs
Many of the machines in this collection, including models from Masipack and Universal Packaging, also support nitrogen or gas flush assemblies, which push additional oxygen out of the bag before sealing for even longer shelf life.

FAQs
What does a form fill seal machine do for coffee packaging?
+It forms a bag from a roll of film, fills it with a set amount of whole bean or ground coffee, and seals it airtight in one continuous cycle, cutting down on manual bagging labor.
How much does a used form fill seal machine cost?
+Pricing varies widely based on age, run hours, automation level, and included tooling like formers or a nitrogen flush system. Each listing above shows the current asking price and condition details.
What is the difference between a VFFS and an HFFS machine?
+A VFFS (vertical form fill seal) machine forms and fills bags moving downward, which suits powders and beans well. An HFFS (horizontal form fill seal) machine runs the film horizontally and is more common for solid, pre-formed products rather than coffee.
Can a form fill seal machine handle both beans and ground coffee?
+Most can, though the filler type matters. Auger fillers work well for ground coffee, while a scale or cup filler often handles whole bean more accurately. Check each listing's included filler type before buying.
What should I check before buying a used form fill seal machine?
+Confirm the run hours, the bag sizes and forming collars included, whether a nitrogen or gas flush option is present, and the crating or shipping arrangement, since larger units often ship crated.
