GLOBULE | Puffed food packaging line solution

Puffed and extruded snack foods — chips, popcorn, puffed pellets and baked crisps — are extremely light, brittle and prone to static. Traditional manual weighing or single-head filling is slow, easily damages the product, and produces unacceptable weight fluctuation, causing giveaway on high-volume lines and net-weight compliance headaches in strict markets.

Globule Sanitary Conveyor Pty Ltd provides a fully automated puffed food packaging line that integrates Z-type bucket elevator conveying, multi-head combination weighing and vertical form-fill-seal bagging, delivering stable, gentle product flow from bulk material to finished bag at speeds up to 60 bags/min.

• Multi-Head Combination Weighing: 10–14 head weighers combine multiple weighments to reach target weight with minimum giveaway, keeping accuracy stable even for low-density, high-volume puffed products.
• Fragile-Product Handling: Z-bucket elevator with soft discharge, anti-static chutes and reduced drop height prevents breakage and surface damage of delicate snacks.
• All-in-One Inline QC: VFFS bagging, checkweigher and metal detector are integrated in one continuous flow, so every bag is verified before it reaches the carton.
• PLC-Driven Changeover: One-touch recipes on the PLC switch between bag sizes, weights and film types in under 15 minutes with no mechanical re-tooling.
