The Challenges of Banana Chips Packaging

Banana chips present unique challenges during the automated packing process. Unlike uniform grains, these chips vary in size, shape, and thickness. Their irregular geometry often leads to "bridging" in traditional hoppers, causing inconsistent fill weights. Furthermore, their high oil content and brittle nature mean that a rough handling system will result in a high percentage of broken chips, which diminishes brand value.

Our Banana chips packaging machine utilizes gentle handling vibration feeders and multihead weighing technology to solve these issues. By precisely calculating the combination of weights across multiple buckets, we achieve near-zero giveaway while ensuring the physical integrity of the product is maintained from the top hopper to the final sealed pouch.

Technology and Working Principle

The core technology behind our high-speed systems is the integration of PLC (Programmable Logic Control) with human-machine interfaces. The process begins when the chips are fed into the vibratory feeder. From there, they move into the weighing buckets where advanced load cells measure the product with milligram precision. Once the target weight is achieved, the chips are discharged into the forming tube.

One of the most critical steps in our process is Nitrogen Flushing. Since oxygen is the primary enemy of fried snacks, our machines replace the air inside the pouch with food-grade nitrogen. This prevents oxidation, extends shelf life significantly, and provides a "cushion" of air that prevents the chips from being crushed during transport and shelving.

Key Features of Our Systems

Industrial Applications

While specifically optimized as a Banana chips packaging machine, our systems are versatile enough to handle a wide variety of snack foods. The versatility of our adjustable forming collars and sealing jaws allows manufacturers to switch between products with minimal downtime.

Current industrial applications of this technology include:

• • Potato Chips and Extruded Snacks (Kurkure)
• • Namkeen, Gathiya, and Farsan products
• • Dry Fruits like Cashews, Almonds, and Pistachios
• • Frozen foods and nuggets requiring vertical form fill seal technology
