Chips Packaging Machine | Stand-up Pouch for Potato Chips, Tortilla Chips & Snacks

Potato chips, tortilla chips, cheese balls, and other expanded snacks require careful handling to avoid breakage and maintain crispiness. Our stand-up pouch packaging machine is specifically designed for fragile snack products, filling them into premade pouches with zero drops or crushing.

Unlike traditional vertical baggers that drop chips from a height, our system uses a low-drop filler combined with a gentle product bucket. Chips fall less than 10cm into the pouch, significantly reducing breakage compared to standard VFFS machines.

Key features for snack packaging:

Nitrogen flushing before sealing to preserve crispiness

Zipper or press-to-close options for resealability

Stand-up pouch bottom gusset for shelf stability

Wide bag opening up to 300mm for family-size pouches

The machine supports all common snack bag formats: stand-up pouches, flat pouches, quad-seal pouches, and doypack styles. It works equally well with potato chips, tortilla chips, puffed snacks, popcorn, and veggie straws.

A typical setup includes:

Premade pouch loading magazine

High-speed chip filler with weight check

Nitrogen flush nozzle

Heat seal station with temperature monitoring

Discharge conveyor for bag collection

Speed: 20–45 bags per minute depending on pouch size and chip type. The machine can be integrated with a multi-head weigher for accurate weight control or a simpler volumetric filler for budget-friendly lines.

For chip manufacturers transitioning from pillow bags to stand-up pouches, this machine offers the easiest upgrade path. Request a breakage test using your chip sample.
