Product FAQs

Quick Answer Match the machine to three inputs: your product form (granule, powder, liquid, paste or solid), your bag format (roll-film bag versus pre-made pouch) and your target output in bags per minute. TOP Y Machinery sizes every line 15–20% above current demand, then confirms the choice with a free sample test on your own product. Step 1 – Match the dosing system to your product form The filling system, not the bag maker, decides whether a machine suits your product. This is the first question our engineers ask on every project. Product formRecommended machineTypical output Free-flowing granules – nuts, candy, frozen food, snacksVFFS + multihead weigher40–80 bags/min Fine powders – flour, milk powder, spices, additivesVFFS + screw (auger) filler30–60 bags/min Liquids – cooking oil, juice, saucesVFFS or rotary + piston pump20–60 bags/min Pastes – jam, ketchup, tomato pasteVFFS + servo piston pump20–50 bags/min Solids in pre-made pouches – coffee, pet food, retort mealsDoypack or rotary pouch machine15–120 bags/min Step 2 – Decide between roll-film and pre-made pouch Roll-film VFFS forms the bag from a film roll. Lowest film cost per pack and the fastest route to high volume, but bag shapes are limited to pillow, gusseted and quad-seal styles. Pre-made doypack or rotary machines pick and fill a ready pouch. Higher film cost, but they support zipper, spout, retort and gusseted formats with a retail-ready finish. Step 3 – Set an output target with headroom Size for 15–20% above today's demand. On delivered projects, a machine bought exactly at current capacity is usually the machine that needs replacing within two years, while a correctly sized one absorbs a second shift and a new SKU without a second purchase. Step 4 – Confirm with a sample test before you commit Send a product sample and your film. You receive a written test report with the achieved speed, filling accuracy in ±grams and seal strength, plus the matched machine configuration. What to send us for an exact recommendation Product sample and bulk density Bag type, bag width × length, and fill weight per pack Target bags per minute and daily shift pattern Retail or export market requirements (CE, FDA, GMP) Where selection most often goes wrong Choosing on speed alone. A 120 bags/min machine on a fragile product produces more rejects than a stable 60 bags/min line. Ignoring film behaviour. Recyclable and compostable films need different sealing temperatures and pressures than standard laminates. Forgetting the ceiling. A VFFS with a multihead weigher needs roughly 3.2–3.8 m of height; TOP Y builds low-ceiling secondary feeding variants when a workshop cannot meet that.

Yes, we integrate nitrogen flushing systems to extend shelf life for oily snacks like nuts. Our snack packaging systems can reduce residual oxygen to less than 2%, significantly prolonging product freshness and maintaining flavor and texture.

Yes, our machines support quick changeover with recipe memory for different products. The HMI interface allows operators to save and recall settings for different snack types, bag sizes, and sealing parameters. Changeover time can be reduced to under 20 minutes.

We use gentle feeding systems with low-pressure drop and cushioning slides to minimize breakage. Our systems maintain breakage rates below 2%, significantly lower than industry standards. The servo-controlled positioning ensures precise placement without damaging fragile products.

Our packaging machines are highly versatile and designed to handle a wide range of snack products, including nuts, chips, biscuits, jerky, candy, puffed snacks, and even mixed snack packs. We can customize the equipment based on your specific product characteristics.

Absolutely. We encourage customers to send samples of their pet food and packaging materials to our facility. We can conduct live video tests or on-site trials to ensure the machine runs perfectly with your product before shipment, guaranteeing the best packaging results.

Yes, our machines are fully customizable. We can tailor the equipment to fit your specific bag dimensions (width, length, and gusset) and required filling weights. Whether you need small treat sachets or large bulk pet food bags, our engineering team will configure the machine to ensure precise and efficient packaging.

Our packaging machines are highly versatile and designed to handle a wide range of pet food products, including dry kibble, freeze-dried treats, cat litter, and semi-moist food.
