Snack Packaging Machine Applications: 3 Key Industries and How They Are Changing Production
1. Potato chips and crisps packaging
Use Cases:
High-speed vacuum sealing: maintains the freshness of chips, tortilla chips and extruded snacks with weighing accuracy of ±0.2g.
Multiple bag formats: pillow bags, stand-up pouches and zipper bags for retail and bulk distribution. Key Equipment:
Horizontal VFFS system with over 600 bags/minute throughput.
Nitrogen flushing model to reduce oxidation (ideal for low moisture snacks) .
2. Nuts and dried fruits
Use case:
Oxygen control: Vacuum packaging extends the shelf life of dried almonds, cashews and mangoes by up to 6 months.
Hygienic design: Stainless steel construction meets FDA 21 CFR Part 11 food safety standards. KEY EQUIPMENT:
Multihead scale with 16 partitions for batches of 0.5-50 kg.
Antistatic conveyor belt to prevent dust contamination.
3. Candy and chocolate packaging
Use Cases:
Precision weighing: Small items such as gummy bears, chocolate bars and sugar-free tablets are weighed with ±0.1g accuracy.
Shrink-wrapping: Protecting high-quality products such as truffles with tamper-resistant seals. Key Equipment:
Servo-driven packaging system for consistent film tension.
Multi-product compatibility (split packaging of chips and candy) .
