Client Requests
Our customer, a prominent snack manufacturer, struggled to meet increasing production demands while preserving chip quality. The client has a large number of primary packaging machines (multihead weigher vertical packaging machine systems); but, manual secondary packaging is too sluggish. They wanted to find a way to streamline their packaging process, reduce manual work, and ensure that the bags were packed correctly.
Project Details
Chips bags net weight: 12 grams
Chips bag size: length 145mm, width 140mm, thickness 35mm
Target weight: 14 or 20 chips bag per package
Secondary packaging style: pillow bag
Secondary packaging size: width 400mm, length 420/500mm
A single chip packing machine system can currently produce 100-110 packs per minute. According to our calculations, one secondary packing machine can connect to three sets of primary chip packaging equipment. To ease integration with three chip packing processes, we designed a conveyor system with a checkweigher. 1 set secondary packaging machine performance is 15-25 packs/min, 900-1500 packs/hour.

Secondary Packaging Line Installation
The fully automatic secondary packaging equipment was successfully installed in the client’s plant and received positive consumer feedback. They are planning to place the repeat orders to match with the remaining primary packaging machines. Let’s have a peek at the machine working video!
