Are You Facing These Common Popcorn Packaging Problems?
The efficiency, stability, and sealing quality of your packaging line directly affect your product sales and customer satisfaction.
Problem 1: Poor Weight Accuracy, High Return Rates
Our high-precision multihead weigher achieves up to ±0.1g accuracy, ideal for lightweight products like popcorn and sugar-coated cereal balls. This ensures every bag meets exact weight standards and reduces product waste and buyer dissatisfaction.
Problem 2: Weak Seals Leading to Moisture and Softness
We use imported heating elements combined with a pressure-regulated sealing system to ensure strong, airtight seals. Optional nitrogen flushing helps extend product freshness and shelf life by reducing oxygen exposure.
Problem 3: Sticky Products Block Weighing or Discharge Paths
All contact parts are made of SUS304 stainless steel and coated with non-stick Teflon. The system also includes vibration pans and knocker devices to prevent buildup and ensure smooth material flow.
Problem 4: Low Speed That Can’t Meet Order Deadlines
Our fully automatic packaging line reaches speeds of 60–80 bags per minute (with nitrogen flushing), significantly increasing productivity and reducing labor dependency.
Problem 5: Troublesome Product or Bag Changeovers
Our intelligent touchscreen control system features multi-recipe memory and one-click recall. It automatically adjusts to bag specifications, minimizing manual work and error rates.
Problem 6: Machines That Look Good But Break Down Easily
We prioritize performance and durability. All core components are sourced from trusted international brands. We provide full after-sales support, remote troubleshooting, and fast spare part delivery to ensure stable long-term operation.
