• Precisely weighing and packaging snack foods, confectionery, and dry pet food.
• Creating mixed product pouches, such as various nuts or dried fruits in a single bag.
• Automating the packaging of granular or free-flowing products into pre-formed pouches.
• Suitable for packaging frozen foods, provided the specific unit is designed for low-temperature environments.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 30 to 120 bags per minute, depending on product, bag size, and weigher configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements based on motor sizes and heating elements.

Weigher configuration

Multihead weighers commonly feature 10 to 24 heads, with 24 heads indicating a high level of precision and speed for multi-component mixes.

Material contact parts

Components in contact with food are typically constructed from SUS304 stainless steel, suitable for most food processing applications.

Pouch types

This equipment is typically configured for pre-made pouches, often Doypack, stand-up, or flat pouches, with change parts dictating specific pouch dimensions.

Footprint

A complete line with elevators, weigher, gantry, and pouch machine commonly requires a significant operational area, typically 5m x 5m or larger, plus space for access and maintenance.

Accuracy

Multihead weighers are known for high accuracy, typically achieving target weight deviations of less than 1-2g for many products.

Form-fill-seal machines hold strong reputations in food packaging for reliability and consistent output. Buyers typically prioritise machines with clear maintenance histories and verified production specifications. Key strengths include versatility across film types and product formats, alongside relatively straightforward operation. When purchasing used units, inspectors should examine seal quality consistency, film tracking accuracy, and the condition of heating elements. Machines from established manufacturers generally command buyer confidence. Downtime for repairs is a common concern, so availability of spare parts and technical support merits careful consideration before acquisition.
