Nuts and snacks

Nacho packaging machine

Nachos and tortilla chips have tips that break easily and are usually sold in large sharing bags. A good line weighs without knocking the product, forms a bag of just the right size and protects texture with inert gas (nitrogen) flushing.

We design lines for nachos and other snacks with a multihead weigher, vertical packaging machine and end-of-line equipment, tailored to your formats and production speed.

Nachos

Packing nachos: the challenges

  • Fragile tips: drop height and product travel must be kept to a minimum.
  • Large formats: family-size bags that call for wide reels and bag widths.
  • Shelf life: inert gas flushing helps the product arrive crisp.
  • Seasoning and dust: contact areas that are easy to clean between batches and flavours.

Recommended machines

A typical nachos packing line

  1. Infeed from the oven, fryer or seasoning drum.
  2. Weighing with a multihead weigher.
  3. Bag forming and sealing with inert gas flushing.
  4. Checkweighing and metal detection.
  5. Case packing and palletising.

Frequently asked questions

What bag format is used for nachos?

Mainly the pillow bag, including family size. Premium ranges use flat-bottom bags or doypacks with zip.

How do you prevent breakage when packing nachos?

By reducing drop height and impacts. We adjust the weigher discharge and, if needed, use a tilting packaging machine such as the VMI.

Can the same line handle other snacks?

In many cases, yes. The multihead weigher and vertical packaging machine handle different snacks by changing the recipe and format.
