Meat Snacks Packaging Equipment With Multi-head Doser Russia
The customer is exploring the possibility of implementing automated packaging for the Ryabchik meat snacks. These snacks consist of dried slices of chicken breast fillet infused with spices. We are examining various packaging options for these snacks, considering packages weighing 30 and 50 grams. The specific dimensions of the package are provided below. It’s important to note that each slice’s size and weight may vary, as depicted in the attached photo. Additionally, it’s essential to explore the feasibility of including oxygen/moisture absorbers within the packaging due to the product’s moisture content, which ranges from 5% to 10%. The slices are approximately 1 mm thick and possess a slight waviness. It is worth noting that the size and weight of each slice are uneven, see the photos attached. Also, it is necessary to consider the possibility of packing oxygen/moisture absorbers in the package.

Our solution
We have double-checked the file and pictures, please see below our reply.
1. the size and weight of each slice are uneven
—it’s ok, we have packed similar Beef slices and dried mangoes， pls see the videos below.
2. packing oxygen/moisture absorbers in the package
—yes, we have packed this before, we have 2 methods.
A. You purchase the oxygen/moisture absorbers in single pieces like your picture, and then we can feed them via a vibrating hopper, filling them one by one into the bag before sealing. The disadvantage is that the vibrating hopper will fill 1~3 pcs of oxygen/moisture absorbers in a bag as the hopper is unable to control the quantity sometimes. pls, see below a similar video we made before.
B. You purchase the oxygen/moisture absorbers in rolls, not single pieces, we will have a machine to cut and feed one by one. this method is more stable, we can ensure 1 bag in each package. Please see the below video.
3. We suggest changing this hole to a circle, as your sample hole easily tears when the machine automatically opens the bag.
4. According to your bag size we suggest our Model No.WE-200, speed is 20~25 bags per min, tolerance 30g±9%,50g±9%.
Our standard machine speed is about 40 bags per minute, and the weigher speed able to be 60 bags per minute, but the size and weight of each slice are uneven, so the weigher speed will be slower and we need to add one cylinder to push the meat slice into bag, your bag with zip, so packing machine speed also slower.
