Double your packaging speed without doubling your floor space. This twin-lane machine packs extruded snacks at high velocity, maximizing your factory’s output and efficiency.
This system is a duplex Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machine. It creates, fills, and seals two bags of snacks at the same time. This immediately doubles the production capacity compared to a standard single-lane machine.
This machine is perfect for growing snack brands that need to increase output fast. Keep reading to see how its dual-lane design and specialized features for fragile products can transform your production line.
Application: Potato chips, corn puffs, pretzels, cheese curls, and other lightweight, fragile extruded snacks.
Bag Style: Pillow bags.

The max speed of 120 bags per minute is the key benefit. This extreme speed allows you to meet the largest orders and significantly grow your business without needing a second packaging line. The bag size range from 80mm to 300mm in length gives you the flexibility to pack various product formats, from snack-size bags to larger family packs, all on one machine. The 380V power supply provides the stable, robust power needed to run a dual-lane system at top speed without interruption. Even with its double capacity, the machine has a compact footprint, with dimensions that make it possible to upgrade your capacity without a major factory reorganization. This high-speed, dual-lane capability is built for serious snack manufacturers who want to scale their operations and dominate the market.
Core Features
1. High Speed & Unmatched Efficiency
This machine is engineered to deliver maximum output for your snack production line.
Double Your Production Speed: With dual servo-driven lanes each running at 65-75 bags per minute (bpm), this machine achieves a massive combined output of up to 150 bpm, instantly doubling the capacity of a standard packer.
Optimized for Smooth Snack Flow: The system uses a compact 24-head weigher with two discharge points that feed into narrow forming tubes. This design ensures a fast, continuous flow of lightweight snacks, preventing clogs and maximizing speed.
Precision Weighing at Full Speed: The advanced 24-head weigher maintains exceptional accuracy even while operating at top speed. This is crucial for lightweight extruded snacks, as it drastically reduces product giveaway and protects your profit margins.
2. Intelligent Design & Superior Quality
Built with premium components and smart controls, this machine ensures reliable, high-quality packaging.
Stable Independent Lane Control: A central, easy-to-use touchscreen manages two completely independent lanes. Each lane has its own 12-head weigher, ensuring stable, interference-free performance.
Reliable Core Components: The machine is powered by a world-class Allen-Bradley (AB) control system. This ensures long-term operational stability, reliability, and consistent performance you can count on.
Superior Seal Integrity: By operating each lane at an optimal speed of 65-75 bpm, the machine allows for a longer sealing time. This creates stronger, more reliable seals that prevent leaks and keep your snacks crisp and fresh.
This machine is designed not just for speed, but for lowering your total cost of ownership and maximizing real-world output.
Compatible with Standard Film: The machine runs efficiently at high speeds using standard packaging film, which helps reduce your consumable costs compared to machines that require specialized, more expensive materials.
Maximized Uptime (The Core Advantage): The machine’s greatest operational benefit is its independent lane design. If one lane needs maintenance or a film change, the other lane continues to run at full speed. This nearly eliminates total line stoppage, dramatically boosting your actual uptime and overall factory output.
FAQ
Q1: How does the machine prevent fragile snacks like chips from breaking at such high speeds? A1: The system is optimized for gentle handling. The integrated weigher uses controlled, low-impact drops. The machine’s programming synchronizes the product drop with the bagger’s movement, minimizing the falling distance and protecting your fragile snacks from damage.
Q2: Is it difficult to manage two lanes at once? What if one lane has a problem? A2: It is very easy to manage. The central PLC touch screen controls both lanes. If a problem occurs on one side (like the film running out), you can pause that lane independently while the other continues to run. This smart design minimizes downtime.
Q3: How do you clean the machine when switching between snacks with different seasonings? A3: Cleaning is fast and simple. All parts that touch the product are made from food-grade stainless steel and can be removed without tools. This allows for quick and thorough cleaning to prevent flavor transfer between different snack runs.
