Why Packaging Matters in the Snack Industry

Snack packaging isn’t just about containment—it’s about:

• Preserving freshness

• Protecting against moisture and air

• Delivering consistent portions

• Brand presentation and consumer trust

Using manual or outdated machines risks inconsistent weights, seal failures, and material waste. For high-volume items like French fries, potato chips, puffed rice, or roasted nuts, this is a critical business issue.

The Granule Packing Machine from HMD solves these problems with cutting-edge automation and versatile compatibility.

Features That Make This Machine Stand Out

1. Multi-Head Weighing System

Accuracy is everything. The machine uses intelligent multi-head weighing scales to ensure each bag contains the correct amount of product—no more underfilled or overfilled pouches.

2. High-Speed Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) Technology

The VFFS system ensures seamless film forming, product filling, sealing, and cutting in one smooth process. With speeds up to 80 bags per minute, you can confidently scale output without hiring additional labor.

3. Versatile Packaging Formats

It supports a variety of pouch types including:

• Pillow bags

• Gusseted bags

• Quad-seal bags

• Stand-up pouches

Perfect for products like popcorn, French fries, crisps, and puffed snacks.

Real-World Example: Scaling a Snack Business

A mid-sized popcorn manufacturer in Southeast Asia was hand-filling up to 5,000 bags per day. Inconsistent portion sizes and sealing failures caused up to 15% product return rates.

After switching to HMD’s Granule Packing Machine, they:

• Doubled daily output
