Step 1: Product Preparation
Before entering the packaging line, the snacks are prepared and inspected for quality. Whether it’s nuts, veggie chips, or other dry snacks, the products are cleaned, sorted, and processed to meet the required standards. This ensures consistent size, weight, and quality. For freshness and flavor preservation, the product may also undergo roasting, seasoning, or drying (depending on the product) before being transferred to the packaging line.
Step 2: Material Loading
The packaging material (typically rolls of PET/MPET/PE or PET/AL/PE film) is mounted on the pillow-style bag packaging machine. These films are pre-printed with the brand design and product information. The machine unwinds the film and feeds it through rollers, aligning it for the next stage. The material is automatically measured and cut to match the required bag dimensions.
Step 3: Bag Formation
The packaging line then forms the pillow-style bag by folding the film. Heat-sealing mechanisms apply pressure and temperature to seal the edges, creating the bag’s distinctive pillow shape. This process ensures an airtight and leak-proof seal. The bottom of the bag is sealed first, leaving the top open for filling.
Step 4: Filling the Bags
Once the bag is formed, the snacks are dispensed into the open end. Advanced filling systems are calibrated to ensure accurate portioning, maintaining consistent weight or volume for each bag. For example:
- 40g bags: Designed for lightweight snack servings.
- 100g bags: Suitable for larger portions or family packs.
The dispensing system minimizes waste while maintaining efficiency, ensuring no spillage or damage to the snacks during filling.
Step 5: Nitrogen Flushing
To preserve freshness and extend shelf life, nitrogen gas is flushed into the bag before sealing. This step removes oxygen, preventing oxidation and maintaining the texture and flavor of the snacks. Nitrogen flushing is especially critical for products like nuts and chips, which are prone to becoming stale or soggy if exposed to air.
Step 6: Final Sealing
After filling and nitrogen flushing, the top of the bag is heat-sealed to create a completely enclosed package. The heat-sealing process ensures strong seals that protect against external factors like moisture, light, and contamination. The sealed bags are then passed through quality control mechanisms to check for seal integrity and any potential leaks.
