Individual Wafer Flow Pack
Individual layered wafer bars or wafer fingers are wrapped using roll film. The feeding and sealing configuration is matched to wafer dimensions, thickness and handling requirements.
PACKAGING MACHINES
Packaging options
Compare packaging formats available for the selected product and line configuration.
Individual layered wafer bars or wafer fingers are wrapped using roll film. The feeding and sealing configuration is matched to wafer dimensions, thickness and handling requirements.
Multiple wafer bars are arranged side by side and wrapped together in a single flow pack. Product spacing and feeding arrangements depend on wafer dimensions, fragility and the required quantity per pack.
Wafer bars are counted and stacked into the required quantity before flow wrapping. Stack height, product alignment and transfer arrangements depend on wafer thickness, fragility and the selected packaging configuration.
Finished wafer flow packs can be grouped and loaded into corrugated shipping cases using optional downstream case packing equipment.
Packaging process
Packaging stages depend on the product, pack format and selected line configuration.
Unwrapped wafer bars are transferred from the upstream production equipment or feeding conveyor to the packaging line. The infeed arrangement depends on wafer dimensions, thickness, fragility and incoming product flow.
Wafer bars are guided into the required position and spacing before packaging. Conveyor guides and transfer arrangements are selected according to product dimensions and fragility to limit unnecessary contact and edge damage.
For multi-piece packs, wafer bars can be counted and arranged side by side or stacked into the required quantity before wrapping. The grouping and transfer arrangement depends on wafer dimensions, thickness and breakage risk.
Individual wafer bars or prepared groups enter the horizontal flow wrapper. Roll film forms around the products, followed by longitudinal and transverse heat sealing to complete the primary package.
Finished wafer packs can be transferred to optional downstream case packing equipment and arranged in corrugated shipping cases according to pack dimensions and the required case layout.
Steps marked optional depend on the actual project configuration.
Choosing a solution
Compare the key factors that affect equipment selection and line configuration.
Confirm the wafer shape, length, width, thickness and fragility before selecting the feeding system. Layered wafers, cream-filled wafer bars and wafer fingers may require different guiding and support arrangements to limit product breakage and edge damage.
Review wafer alignment, spacing, counting, grouping and stacking requirements. The feeding arrangement depends on product dimensions, fragility, quantity per pack and connection to upstream production equipment.
Define the required pack format, wafer bars per pack, group or stack dimensions, film specifications and target finished packs per minute to determine the suitable wrapping and downstream equipment configuration.
Our approach
How we review product handling, equipment configuration and packaging line requirements.
Review product size, shape and handling requirements before selecting the packaging equipment.
Compare feeding, alignment, grouping and conveyor connections based on your production layout.
Discuss primary packaging, product handling and downstream equipment options according to your project requirements.
Share product samples, pack dimensions, target output and available factory space to review suitable equipment configurations.
Common questions
Answers to common questions about product handling, packaging formats and line configuration.
Wafer packing machines can handle suitable layered wafers, cream-filled wafer bars, wafer fingers and other rectangular wafer products. The feeding and wrapping configuration depends on wafer length, width, thickness, coating condition and fragility. Different wafer shapes may require adjustments or dedicated feeding components.
Fragile wafers require controlled conveyor transfers, product alignment and spacing. Feeding equipment should limit unnecessary drops, collisions and pressure on wafer edges. Product samples and packaging trials help assess breakage risks and determine suitable guiding and transfer arrangements.
Automatic counting, grouping and stacking equipment can be integrated before the horizontal flow wrapper when required. Wafer bars may be arranged side by side or stacked into specified quantities. The suitable configuration depends on wafer dimensions, thickness, fragility and the required pack arrangement.
Chocolate-coated wafer bars may be suitable for horizontal flow wrapping when their coating has reached the required temperature and surface condition. Conveyor contact, product spacing, film selection and sealing settings should be reviewed to avoid coating damage or unwanted adhesion. The final configuration depends on the product and packaging requirements.
A wafer packing machine may handle different wafer dimensions within its supported adjustment range. Changing product sizes or switching between individual and multi-piece packs can require adjustments to feeding guides, product spacing, film width, bag length and sealing settings. Some configurations may require additional grouping equipment.
Wafer packaging commonly uses compatible roll-film structures selected according to moisture protection, sealability and storage requirements. Film thickness, barrier properties and sealing characteristics should be evaluated against the wafer product and intended shelf life. The packaging machine must also support the selected film specifications.
A wafer packing line can be designed to connect with upstream wafer cutting, cooling or conveying equipment when the interfaces are compatible. Conveyor height, product orientation, incoming output, transfer method and available factory space should be reviewed. Actual finished-pack output depends on feeding consistency, grouping requirements and the capacity of connected equipment.
Please provide wafer photos or videos, dimensions, weight, coating condition, required packaging format, quantity per pack and target output in finished packs per minute. Information about packaging film, upstream equipment, factory layout and any required grouping, stacking or case packing functions will help determine a suitable machine configuration.
Tell us what you pack, your preferred packaging format and your target output. We can review the requirements and discuss suitable equipment and line configurations.
