What Materials and Bag Styles Can This Line Handle?
This highly adaptable granule packaging machinery easily handles free-flowing items. It excels in food processing environments for packaging potato chips, soybeans, rice, coffee beans, nuts, seeds, and pet food. Furthermore, it is equally effective for non-food applications such as screws, small hardware parts, iron sand, and plastic granules.
When it comes to retail presentation, this automated line provides tremendous flexibility. You can configure it to produce standard pillow bags for everyday snacks, or utilize a hang-hole bag for pegboard displays. For premium items, stand-up bags (doypacks or gusseted bags) give your product an elegant shelf presence. Achieving these different styles relies entirely on the same automatic packaging machine—you only need to swap the bag former or tweak the digital settings.
How the Granule Food Packaging Line Works
The operational flow is streamlined for maximum efficiency:
Feeding: Bulk granules are poured into the hopper of the Z-bucket elevator, which automatically lifts the materials up to the multihead weigher.
Weighing: The 14-head weigher disperses the granules into individual weigh hoppers. The computer rapidly calculates the optimal combination of hoppers to achieve the exact target weight.
Forming & Filling: The exact product dose is dropped into the Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machine. This unit concurrently shapes flat packaging film from a roll into a bag and fills it.
Sealing & Conveying: The top of the bag is securely heat-sealed, cut, and then dropped onto the outfeed conveyor, delivering a retail-ready pouch every few seconds.

Equipment Included in This Granule Weighing Packing Line
Vertical Form Fill Seal Machine: Forms, fills, and properly seals pillow or gusseted bags directly from a continuous film roll.
14-Head Multihead Weigher: Uses advanced algorithms to dispense granules with incredible speed and accuracy.
Z-Bucket Elevator: Automates the loading process by elevating bulk material from floor level to the weigher’s feeding hopper.
Bag Former: The crucial shaping collar that transforms flat film into your required uniform bag size.
Outfeed Conveyor: Transports the sealed bags away for final cartoning or palletizing.
Working Platform: A sturdy, safe structure allowing operators to access the weigher for routine cleaning and maintenance.
