The system is equipped with a 720mm film width forming unit, allowing for larger bag formats and improved packaging flexibility. This wide film design supports various bag styles commonly used in the snack food market, enhancing both product presentation and shelf appeal while maintaining stable forming performance during high-speed operation.
At the core of the dosing system is a high-precision 20-head multihead weigher, which ensures fast and accurate weighing of lightweight and irregular-shaped products such as potato chips and puffed snacks. The multihead combination technology significantly reduces product giveaway while maintaining consistent bag weights, even under continuous high-speed production conditions.
To ensure product quality and food safety, the line integrates a dual inspection system consisting of a checkweigher and a metal detector. The checkweigher performs secondary weight verification to ensure each package meets target specifications, while the metal detector provides critical contamination control by identifying and rejecting any metallic impurities. Together, these systems strengthen overall quality assurance and compliance with international food safety requirements.
In addition, a rotary table (turntable) is installed within the line to buffer and organize product flow between processes. This component helps stabilize the production rhythm, reduces product accumulation, and ensures smooth coordination between upstream and downstream equipment, especially during peak production periods.
The WPV350 system is engineered as a fully customized solution for the Mexican market, taking into account local production conditions and the growing demand for efficient snack packaging automation. Its modular design allows for easy operation, maintenance, and future capacity expansion.
Overall, this packaging line combines high-speed weighing, precise quality inspection, and stable material handling, delivering a complete turnkey solution for puff snack and potato chip manufacturers seeking improved productivity, reduced labor costs, and consistent packaging quality.
