Today’s snack manufacturers need packaging systems that can keep pace with rising demand for small‑bag and multi‑pack formats. Engineered for speed, accuracy, and efficiency, this high‑speed packaging solution delivers the performance modern lines require to stay competitive.
As snack brands expand into multi-packs and smaller bag formats, packaging equipment must evolve to keep up. What was once a niche requirement is now a mainstream production challenge—running small bags at high speed without sacrificing accuracy, efficiency, or product quality.
In a recent video, Jeff Almond, Senior Director for the Snack Food Industry at Heat and Control, walks through a solution designed specifically to meet these demands: the Ishida High-Speed Snack Packaging System.
Many snack manufacturers historically relied on universal packaging machines to handle a wide range of bag sizes. Today, that approach is changing. To achieve higher throughput and consistent performance with small bags, manufacturers are increasingly turning to dedicated systems.
This Ishida configuration pairs an Ishida CCW-AS 16-head multihead weigher with an Inspira Series Snack Food Bagmaker, engineered from the ground up for small-bag snack applications and multi-pack formats.
What sets this system apart is how every component is optimized for performance:
On products like pretzels, the system can run up to 220 bags per minute, while maintaining precision across a wide range of snack foods.
One of the most significant advantages of this system is its ability to produce bags as narrow as six inches wide. Rather than compromising performance with a one-size-fits-all solution, snack producers can now deploy a machine dedicated to the specific challenges of small-bag production—maximizing efficiency, reliability, and throughput.
As consumer demand shifts and packaging formats evolve, manufacturers need solutions that are engineered for what they run most often—not just what’s possible. This Ishida high-speed snack packaging system reflects that shift, delivering a focused, high-performance solution for modern snack operations.
Purpose built for speed, accuracy, and reliability, this Ishida system gives snack manufacturers a smarter way to meet today’s small‑bag demands. Ready to elevate your packaging line? Connect with our team to explore the right solution for your production goals.
