Wafer/Chips Packing Machine

A Wafer/Chips Packing Machine is an automatic system made for packing chips and similar snacks in bags of differing sizes and materials. The machines have frames of durable stainless steel, along with food-safe components. This supports hygiene and long life in food production environments. The central function is to automate the whole packing process. That process includes weighing, filling, sealing as well as in some cases, labeling. The process places the chips into pre-made pouches or bags. These machines can pack different bag volumes, typically from 10 grams up to 1 kilogram. They operate at high speeds. Some versions produce from 1800 to 2400 packets each hour. This depends on the product also the size of the package. Through programmable logic controllers (PLC), touch-screen HMIs next to sensors, the packing machine achieves precise filling, cutting in addition to sealing. For differing product forms and weights, the filling system can be adjusted. That adjustment supports accurate and uniform packing. Sealing methods use center seal, three-side seal, or four-side seal. Packaging material can be laminated polythene, metalized film, or aluminum foil. To make product shelf life longer and keep crispness, many versions include nitrogen flushing. With automatic feeding, batch cutting along with options for intermittent printing, manual labor needs are greatly lowered by the machines. Productivity also becomes better as well as packaging maintains a uniform appearance. This makes them important for snack makers besides large food processors.
