Compact intermittent motion VFFS bagger for packaging fresh produce in Carry-Fresh bags

The Vegatronic CF (Carry Fresh) is a compact intermittent VFFS machine developed by IMA Ilapak to meet the specific needs of the fresh produce sector. From potatoes and onions to carrots and bulk vegetables, it delivers reliable packaging performance with minimal footprint and excellent pack presentation.
The Vegatronic CF supports a variety of pack styles — including Carry-Fresh bags with carrying holes, pillow packs, and block bottom formats — giving produce packers broad application flexibility.
