Applications and materials
This configuration serves the following products and applications. Our engineers review product behavior and pack requirements with representative samples.
- Potato & Banana Chips Manufacturers: Specially engineered with anti-crushing buffers to handle fragile snacks like potato chips, banana chips, cassava chips, and tortilla chips.
- Puffed Food & Snack Processing Plants.
- Contract Packaging (Co-packing) Facilities.
- Bulk Snack Distributors & Brands.
Configuration and scope
We develop the equipment configuration, tooling and integration around your product, pack format and production requirements.
Configuration items for engineering review
- Automatic Chips Snack Weighing Packing Machine With Nitrogen
- Fully Automated 500g to 1kg Potato & Banana Chips Multi-Head Weigher Packaging Line
- Synchronized Nitrogen Gas Flushing System
- High-Accuracy Combination Multi-Head Weigher
- Continuous Servo-Driven Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS) System
Machine features
Review these features with our engineering team to select the configuration for your product and packaging requirements.
- Synchronized Nitrogen Gas Flushing System: Automatically injects high-purity nitrogen gas into the pouch right before sealing. This displaces ambient oxygen to prevent snack oxidation/rancidity while inflating the bag to provide crucial physical cushioning against crushing during transit.
- Anti-Fragility Soft-Drop Engineering: Designed with steep-yet-smooth vibratory feeder pans, low-drop hoppers, and dimpled-surface chutes to decelerate fragile potato chips, drastically reducing product breakage during high-speed drops.
- Servo-Driven VFFS System: Multi-axis servo control coordinates film pulling, tracking and jaw sealing. Film choice, sealing settings and gas retention are assessed for the selected pack.
- Stainless-steel construction: Heavy-duty open frame construction using food-grade SUS304 stainless steel on all contact components.
Application questions to review
Our application review addresses the handling and packaging challenges below. Product trials help establish the settings and equipment choices for your material.
- Short Shelf-Life and Soggy Chips Due to Poor Pouch Sealing & Oxidation: Chips go stale and soft instantly when exposed to air. The packing machine features a continuous, precise-heat servo sealing mechanism coupled with a heavy-flow nitrogen injection kit.

How this fits the Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines process
Vertical form-fill-seal machines form bags from roll film around a forming tube, dose the product from above and seal each bag. The dosing unit, bag style and options such as gas flushing or coding define the scope of a configuration.
This machine is part of our Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines portfolio. Explore the configurations for other products and pack formats, or discuss a tailored arrangement with our engineering team.
This configuration is also listed on pages that compare the options for the same kind of product or machine.
The linked guides explain how this type of machine works and how to choose one.
