01
Glaze and frost
Ice glaze and surface frost make shrimp stick together. Clumps feed unevenly into the weigher and spoil the weights.
What we do · We check feeding and dosing stability with your glazed product.
Frozen Shrimp Packaging
Build the packaging setup around the shrimp, the target weight, the bag and the output you need. Our SVC260 continuous-motion VFFS is built for frozen foods and IQF products.
Typical route: weighing → VFFS bagging → inspection → case packing
Frozen Shrimp Packaging Challenges
Six points that decide whether a shrimp line runs well.
02
Large, uneven pieces
A few large shrimp can push a pack over its target weight, especially at low fill weights.
What we do · The weigher heads and hopper size are chosen for your piece size and target weight.
03
Ice in the seal
Ice fragments and moisture in the seal area cause weak or leaking seals.
What we do · Every packaging test checks seal quality and product in the seal area.
04
Sharp tails, fragile pieces
Tails and frozen edges can puncture thin film, and pieces break when they drop too far.
What we do · Film structure and drop heights are set for your shrimp and confirmed in the test.
05
Keeping it frozen
Shrimp that wait between steps start to thaw, stick together and lose quality.
What we do · Feeding, weighing and bagging rates are matched so product does not wait on the line.
06
Inspection through glaze and film
Glaze, product temperature and film type affect how well a metal detector works. Metallized or foil film limits it.
What we do · The inspection method is chosen once the product, package and film are known.
Recommended Packaging Route
Each step is matched to the shrimp and to the step before it.
- 01
Product Feeding
Buffer and transfer to the weigher
- 02
Multihead Weighing
Weigher configured for frozen food
- 03
SVC260 VFFS
Forming, filling and sealing pillow bags
- 04
Inspection
Checkweighing and contaminant checks
- 05
Robotic Case Packing
Bags into cases
- 06
Palletizing
Cases onto pallets
Bucket conveyors are not part of the standard route for frozen shrimp. If a project needs one, we test it with the frozen product first.
Modules Matched to the Product
Each module is chosen for the shrimp, then integrated into the line.
Multihead Weighing
Configurations built for frozen food are available. The final choice follows how the shrimp behave, the target weight, the dose rate the bagger needs and the cleaning routine.
SVC260 Continuous-Motion VFFS
Built for frozen foods and IQF products. Continuous motion, bags up to 260 mm wide and 400 mm long, up to 160 bags/min.*
Inspection
Checkweighing, metal detection, combined units, or X-ray where the application calls for it. The method is chosen once the product, package and film are known.
Case Packing and Palletizing
Robotic case packing and palletizing, integrated around the finished bag, the case pattern, the case rate and the pallet pattern.
*Machine maximum. Actual output depends on product, fill weight, bag size and film.
Define Sustainable Good Output
A frozen shrimp line runs at the pace of its slowest stage, so we check every stage instead of quoting one machine's top speed.
Required kg/h= Good bags per hour × Fill weight
We set the final line target from product tests and agreed FAT conditions.

The machine, industry, bag format and full system behind this application.
Is the SVC260 suitable for frozen shrimp?
The SVC260 is built for frozen foods and IQF products. The exact setup for your shrimp is defined from the real product, fill weight, bag and film.
How does ice glaze affect the fill weight?
Glaze adds weight and moisture. We agree the target weight and how glaze is counted before the test, then check the weight result with your product.
What bag format should I start with?
The pillow bag, which is standard on the SVC260. Side gusset bags are an option where the project needs them.
Can the line run 160 bags/min with frozen shrimp?
160 bags/min is the SVC260's machine maximum. The output of a frozen shrimp line is set from the actual product, weighing, bag and line conditions.
What weighing system is used?
A multihead weigher is the main route. Its configuration is chosen around the product and the target weight.
Can a bucket conveyor feed frozen shrimp?
Our pendulum bucket conveyors are not yet proven with frozen shrimp. If a project needs one, we test it with the actual frozen product first.
What inspection equipment should be used?
That depends on the final product, package, film and what you need to check. Checkweighing, metal detection, combined units or X-ray can be assessed for the project.
Can case packing and palletizing be added?
Yes. Robotic case packing and palletizing can be integrated around the bag, case and pallet requirements.
