El 10-head weigher packaging machine is an automatic weighing and packaging solution for snack food manufacturers, fried food factories, and food processing plants. Equipped with a vertical packaging machine and a 10-head combination weigher, the system supports a packaging speed of 5–50 bags/min and a weighing range of 10–1,000 g. The combination weigher offers a weighing accuracy of approximately ±0.3–1.5 g, depending on the product and operating conditions. It integrates weighing, filling, bag forming, date printing, and finished product conveying to help businesses improve packaging efficiency and reduce manual handling.
This automatic weighing and packaging machine is suitable for potato chips, fried peanuts, crackers, puffed snacks, nuts, candies, seeds, and other granular or small-piece products. It can be integrated into an existing fried food production line or used as part of a complete snack packaging system.
Applications of the 10 Head Weigher Packaging Machine
The 10 head weigher packaging machine is designed for automatically weighing and packaging granular, irregular, and small-piece products. It is particularly suitable for food factories that need consistent package weights and efficient production.
Typical applications include:
- Fried snacks: Potato chips, fried peanuts, fried broad beans, crackers, and other fried snacks.
- Puffed foods: Puffed corn snacks, rice crackers, and similar lightweight products.
- Nuts and seeds: Peanuts, cashews, pistachios, sunflower seeds, and melon seeds.
- Confectionery: Candies, chocolates, gummies, and jelly products.
- Other products: Dried fruit pieces, pet food, small hardware parts, and other suitable granular materials.
For fried food manufacturers, an automatic snack food packaging machine helps maintain consistent portion sizes and streamline the process from weighing to finished bag output.
Structure of the Automatic Weighing and Packaging Machine
The complete system can include the following equipment:
10-Head Combination Weigher
The combination weigher measures the product through ten individual weighing hoppers and selects a suitable combination of weights to approach the target portion. It is installed above the vertical packaging machine to feed the weighed product into each bag.
Vertical Packaging Machine
The machine forms bags from a roll of packaging film. After the product is discharged from the weigher, the machine fills the bag, seals and cuts it, and completes the packaging cycle.
Material Elevator
A material elevator transfers products to the combination weigher automatically. The supplied elevator has a conveying capacity of 3–6 m³/h and is available in stainless steel or carbon steel, according to the provided specifications.
An elevator can reduce manual material handling and help maintain a continuous supply of product during operation.
Weighing Platform
A sturdy working platform with a non-slip surface and surrounding guardrails provides a stable and safer working area for operators who need access to the combination weigher.
Finished Product Conveyor
The finished product conveyor transfers packaged bags to the collection area or the next production stage. Its specified conveying speed is 30 m/min.
How Does a Ten-Head Vertical Packaging Machine Work?
The automatic weighing and packaging process typically follows these steps:
- Product feeding: The material elevator lifts fried snacks or other products to the combination weigher.
- Combination weighing: The ten weighing hoppers measure the material and select a combination that meets the target weight.
- Bag forming: The packaging machine forms a bag from the packaging film.
- Automatic filling: The weighed product drops into the formed bag.
- Sealing and cutting: The machine seals and cuts the bag according to the selected packaging settings.
- Date printing and conveying: The system completes date printing as configured and transfers finished packages to the collection area.
By integrating these operations, the automatic weighing and packaging machine can reduce repetitive manual work and improve the consistency of packaged snack products.
Features of the 10 Head Weigher Packaging Machine
High-Speed Automatic Packaging
The vertical packaging machine has a rated packaging speed of 5–50 bags/min. It automatically completes weighing and filling coordination, bag forming, date printing, and product conveying, reducing the need for manual weighing and bag sealing.
Actual output depends on the product’s size, density, target package weight, packaging film, and operating conditions.
Accurate Multihead Weighing
The 10-head combination weigher uses ten weighing hoppers and high-precision sensors to combine individual measurements into a target package weight. Its weighing range is 10–1,000 g, with a stated accuracy of approximately ±0.3–1.5 g.
This multihead weigher packing machine is suitable for products with irregular shapes, such as potato chips, nuts, and fried snacks. Weighing performance should be confirmed through testing with the actual product.
Adjustable Hopper Operation
The hopper opening and closing speeds can be adjusted according to material characteristics. This reduces unnecessary impact on fragile products and improves handling of delicate snacks.
Easy Operation and Control
The vertical packaging machine uses a programmable control system and a large touchscreen for straightforward operation and parameter adjustment. The combination weigher has an 8.4-inch button-operated control screen.
Flexible Packaging Options
The machine supports different bag lengths and widths within its specified ranges. Based on customer requirements, it can also be configured for single-bag or multi-bag cutting, with an optional punching device.
Hygienic Construction and Stable Operation
The ten-head combination weigher uses stainless steel components, making it suitable for food weighing applications. Its servo-driven mechanism supports stable operation and helps reduce mechanical wear.

How to Choose the Right Snack Food Packaging Machine
When selecting a multihead weigher packing machine for a fried food factory, consider the following factors.
Target Package Weight
Determine the required package weight before choosing the equipment. The ten-head combination weigher supports a range of 10–1,000 g, making it suitable for many small and medium snack packages within this range.
Product Characteristics
Potato chips, puffed snacks, nuts, and fried peanuts differ in size, density, fragility, and flowability. These factors affect weighing stability, hopper operation, filling performance, and the final packaging speed.
If your product is fragile, confirm that the hopper settings and material transfer arrangement are suitable for minimizing breakage.
Required Packaging Speed
The packing machine has a stated packaging speed of 5–50 bags/min. If your fried food production line has a high output, ensure that the packaging capacity matches the upstream fryer, seasoning equipment, and cooling conveyor.
Bag Size and Packaging Film
Confirm the required bag length, bag width, and film width before ordering. The machine supports bag lengths of 100–500 mm, bag widths of 180–350 mm, and a maximum roll film width of 720 mm.
Automation and Integration
If you want to reduce manual handling, consider a complete system with a material elevator, ten-head combination weigher, vertical packaging machine, working platform, and finished product conveyor. Equipment configuration can be selected according to your factory layout and production requirements.
