Packing the Latest in Snacking

Flexible automation lets manufacturers adjust to trending snacks and pack sizes.
by Lucas Cuni-Mertz
For the snack category, innovation is the name of the
game. Snacks offering exciting new flavors, novel formats,
better-for-you benefits and more are being introduced
left and right to win the attention - and dollars
- of hungry consumers.
While innovation is how the snack category flourishes,
these new products can put a strain on snack manufacturers
whose lines thrive on repeatability and consistency.
When it comes to packaging, the latest snack can
mean a change in line speed, bags, equipment footprint
and more, opening new opportunities for inconsistency
and waste. On top of this, evolving consumer snacking
habits have many manufacturers shifting toward
smaller or larger pack sizes that can further complicate
an operation.

flexible packaging process that maintains necessary
throughputs is a must. This is no easy task, however,
and often requires the use of digital controls, versatile
equipment and other efficiency-boosting line automation,

of packaging machinery, " said Bernardo Zermeño,
marketing and customer development director, Rexfab.
" This enables accurate filling, consistent sealing and
labeling, real-time monitoring, and the adjustment of
manufacturing parameters (temperature, speed, pressure,
etc.), reducing errors and increasing efficiency. "
If packaging parameters vary even slightly day to
day, the result can be an inconsistent, lower quality final
product, noted Dennis Gunnell, president, Formost Fuji.
