The Pre-made Bag Packing Machine series offers extensive compatibility with various bag styles such as ziplock bags, stand-up pouches, and more, delivering exceptional versatility.
Core Industry Pain Points & Technical Solutions of Popcorn Packaging Machine
Fragility & Product Loss (5-8% Breakage)
Problem: Popcorn’s low density and irregular shape cause crushing during high-speed filling. Industry data shows 5-8% product loss from mechanical stress, generating revenue loss and customer complaints.
- Anti-Vibration Conveyors: Servo-dampened belts reduce breakage to <1% by minimizing impact during transfer.
- Gentle Filling Nozzles: Wide-diameter stainless funnels with anti-static coatings prevent kernel damage.
Moisture & Oxygen Sensitivity (20% Shelf Life Loss)
Problem: Popcorn absorbs ambient humidity within hours, losing crispness. Residual oxygen (>3%) accelerates staleness and rancidity in oil-coated varieties.
- Nitrogen Flushing (≥98% Purity): Maintains O₂ levels <0.5% in sealed bags, extending shelf life to 18 months
- High-Barrier Films: Aluminum-coated laminates (OTR <0.1 cc/m²/day) block humidity and UV exposure
- Paired with a powder vertical screw feeder, it can achieve continuous replenishment of material at the screw head.
- The packaging machine is equipped with a Z-shaped feeder to achieve continuous feeding of particles and irregular large materials, as well as precise measurement and packaging.
- Completing the pumping and discharging process of liquid, sauce and other liquid materials with piston pump and rotor pump
- Can be equipped with functions such as coding, punching, nitrogen filling, vacuum, etc.
- Optional finished product transport belt.
Screw metering device: For powder metering and feeding, a servo motor is used to drive the screw to rotate, and the feeding amount is precisely controlled by the pitch. The minimum measurement accuracy can reach 0.1g. When the weighing sensor detects that the material has reached the preset weight (such as 500g/1000g), the system immediately triggers the feed valve to close and sends a signal to the sealing system to start the subsequent packaging process.
High-Speed Multihead Weighers: Utilize 10–14 weighing hoppers to distribute granules simultaneously. This parallel weighing process achieves speeds of 1,800–2,500 bags/hour with ±0.5% accuracy, far exceeding single-head systems
The product manual has instructions for adjusting the packaging bag specifications, and our technical team would fully cooperate with the debugging proc
The parts in contact with food are made of 304/316 stainless steel or food grade PP material, which meets food safety standards and avoids the migration of harmful substances. Design a structure that is easy to clean, reduces dead corners, and facilitates daily disinfection and maintenance.
The key points of maintenance and upkeep are cleaning, fastening, adjusting, lubricating, and anti-corrosion. In the normal production process, each machine maintenance personnel should strictly follow the maintenance manual and maintenance regulations of the machine packaging equipment, carry out various maintenance work within the prescribed period, reduce the wear rate of parts, eliminate hidden dangers of faults, and extend the service life of the machine.
Sustainability & Compliance Gaps
Problem: 24% plastic overuse from non-recyclable laminates violates EU PPWR 2030 mandates.
- Mono-Material PP Bags: 100% recyclable structures (e.g., Nestlé) cut waste 30%
- Edible Coatings: Seaweed-based films degrade in 90 days
