HolyCrab
Horizontal Fill Sealing (HFS)
- Horizontal Fill Seal solution
- 24 hours non-stop production
- Prremade HDPE bags from 15 μm
- Up to 20 bags per minute
The HolyCrab is a Horizontal Form Fill Seal (HFFS) machine, developed for producers who want to move beyond traditional Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) technology. By combining horizontal filling with pre-made Easy Open System bags and a rotating bag magazine, the HolyCrab offers the most reliable, cost-efficient and product-friendly packaging solution.
The HolyCrab fills horizontally with minimal drop height. This results in significantly less product damage, a more stable filling process and a consistent pack quality. Combined with thin HDPE bags, a compact machine layout and 24/7 non-stop production, the HolyCrab delivers the lowest total cost of ownership.
Horizontal Fill Sealing (HFS)
Features
24/7 non-stop production
The rotating bag magazine allows bag refilling during operation, enabling continuous production without stops, a key advantage over many VFFS systems.
Horizontal filling without drop height
As an HFFS machine, the HolyCrab fills horizontally, reducing drop height and virtually eliminating product damage.
Lower material and operational costs
By using pre-made HDPE bags from 15 μm instead of thick LDPE roll film, the HolyCrab significantly reduces film usage, waste and operational costs compared to VFFS machines.

How it works
Bag picking
The premade EasyOpen bag is picked up by a vacuum gripper at one side.
Bag spreading
The system picks up the opened bag and guides it into the next position.
Bag positioning
The bag is transferred to the filling position, where it is filled with your product.
Product filling
Product is gently filled into the bag using a smart drop-break system, minimizing drop height and preserving product integrity.
Bag sealing
Two sealing bars press together at the right temperature and timing, creating a perfect seal within seconds.
