Vedvik Machinery's in-house engineered PFS system fills doy pouches and ziplock bags, 50g - 1kg, up to 60 cycles/min — built and serviced in India.
Built In-House: Vedvik Machinery's Pick Fill Seal (PFS) System
Not every machine on Vedvik Machinery's line-up is sourced from a partner brand. The Pick Fill Seal (PFS) system is engineered by Vedvik itself — a cam-driven machine built in Ahmedabad for brands packing into doy pouches and ziplock bags, where the pouch already exists before the machine ever touches it.
What Sets a PFS Machine Apart?
Most pouch packing conversations start with form-fill-seal technology either vertical or horizontal, where the machine forms the pouch from a roll of film before filling and sealing it. A Pick Fill Seal machine skips that step entirely. It starts with pre-made pouches which are already formed, often already printed and finished to a high shelf-ready standard that picks one from a magazine, opens it, fills it, and seals it.
This matters most for brands that need premium, pre-finished pouch formats: doy-style stand-up pouches, pouches with press-to-close or slider zippers, or any pack where the print quality and finish of a pre-made pouch simply looks better than one formed in-line. It also means you're not constrained by what a given form-fill-seal tooling can produce — if the pouch exists, the PFS system can generally run it.
Vedvik's PFS System
Vedvik's PFS machine is cam-driven, which gives it a straightforward, mechanically robust motion profile well suited to repetitive, high-reliability cycles — a common choice where consistent, predictable output matters more than the flexibility of full servo control.
Here's what the system brings to the table, based on Vedvik's published specifications:
-Pouch formats: Doy (stand-up) pouches and ziplock bags.
-Fill range: 50 grams to 1 kilogram. Speed: Up to 60 cycles per minute.
-Drive: Cam-driven mechanism, engineered and built by Vedvik.
Because it's built in-house, Vedvik can also adapt the machine's configuration like filling heads, pouch handling, and integration points — directly to a customer's specific product and pouch format, rather than working within the constraints of an imported, fixed-spec machine.
Where It Fits?
A PFS machine like this is a natural fit for food products (snacks, flours, spices, pet food), personal care items, and any other powder, granule, or semi-solid product that suits a 50g – 1kg pack size. It's especially relevant for brands already committed to a doy pouch or ziplock format for shelf appeal, who need a reliable way to fill and seal that exact pouch at volume rather than redesigning their packaging around a roll-stock machine.
Because the machine works with pre-made pouches, brands also retain full control over pouch printing and finishing quality of something that can be harder to guarantee when a pouch is formed in-line from flat film.
Engineered, Installed, and Serviced by Vedvik
Unlike the international brands Vedvik represents in India — Effytec for HFFS, Filtec for liquid filling, Kraus for friction feeding — the PFS system is Vedvik's own design and build. That means the same team that engineers the machine also installs, commissions, and services it, out of Ahmedabad and Pune, backed by 28+ years of experience supporting packaging lines across India.
For manufacturers, that in-house ownership can translate into faster turnaround on spares, more flexibility on custom configurations, and a single point of accountability from design through years of after-sales support — without a dependency on an overseas manufacturer for parts or engineering changes.
The Takeaway
For brands packing powders, granules, or semi-solids into pre-made doy pouches or ziplock bags, Vedvik Machinery's own-engineered PFS system offers a dependable, cam-driven solution: a 50g – 1kg fill range, up to 60 cycles per minute, and the advantage of working with a manufacturer that designs, builds, and supports the machine entirely in-house.

Frequently asked questions
1. What is a Pick Fill Seal (PFS) machine?
A PFS machine fills and seals pre-made, pre-formed pouches, rather than forming the pouch from a roll of film the way VFFS or HFFS machines do. It picks a finished pouch from a magazine, opens it, fills it, and seals it.
2. What pouch types does Vedvik's PFS machine handle?
It's built for doy (stand-up) pouches and ziplock bags, both of which are common formats for food, personal care, and pet food products that need strong shelf presence.
3. What is the fill range and speed of the machine?
The system handles fill weights from 50 grams to 1 kilogram, running at speeds up to 60 cycles per minute.
4. Is this machine imported, or does Vedvik manufacture it?
Vedvik engineers and builds the PFS system in-house, unlike some of its other machines which are supplied in partnership with international manufacturers. This gives Vedvik direct control over design, spares, and servicing.
5. What products is a PFS machine typically used for?
It suits powders, granules, and semi-solid products in the 50g – 1kg range — commonly snacks, flours, spices, pet food, and personal care products packed into stand-up or ziplock pouches.
6. Does Vedvik provide installation and after-sales support for the PFS machine?
Yes. Since Vedvik designs and builds the machine itself, the same in-house engineering team also handles installation, commissioning, and ongoing service out of Ahmedabad and Pune.
