Match the conveying, dosing and bag to your sunflower, pumpkin or watermelon seeds, in-shell or as kernels. Our SVC260, VP and VGT baggers and both pendulum bucket conveyors are used for seeds, from small snack packs to larger retail bags.
Packages: pillow and gusset bags or quad-seal bags
Six points that decide whether a seed line runs well.
In-shell seeds shed hull dust and small fragments every time they are conveyed and dropped. They collect in buckets and hoppers and can reach the seal area.
What we do · Dust and fragments are checked on the conveyor, the weigher and the bagger with your seeds.
In-shell seeds are light for their volume; kernels are smaller and denser. The same bag holds a very different weight, and the dosing has to suit each.
What we do · The dosing method and bag size are chosen for your product and target weight, and confirmed in the test.
Seeds flow fast and bounce. Seeds that scatter at the discharge or the bag mouth end up on the floor or in the seal.
What we do · The discharge and the drop into the bag are checked with your seeds.
Roasted, salted and flavoured seeds leave salt and seasoning powder on contact surfaces, and it can reach the seal.
What we do · Contact surfaces, cleaning access and seal quality are reviewed for your product.
Seeds are often sold in small snack packs. A few grams over the target on every pack add up over a year of production.
What we do · The dosing method and the target weight setting are checked in the test.
Roasted seeds pick up moisture and go soft. Some packs need a barrier film, a zipper or gas flushing.
What we do · Gas flush, zipper and other VGT options are chosen for your product and package.
The same handling feeds whichever packaging machine your package needs.
Lifts the seeds to the doser
Multihead weigher, or a cup filler where dosing by volume fits
SVC260, VP or VGT, chosen by the package
Checkweighing and contaminant checks
Bags into cases, cases onto pallets
Gas flush, zipper and product settler are options on the VGT and are fitted to the project.
LINYOPACK machines
Start from the package: each packaging machine below is labelled with the bags it makes. Handling, dosing, inspection and end-of-line modules complete the line.
Continuous motion for higher outputs. Bags up to 260 mm wide and 400 mm long, up to 160 bags/min.*
Compact baggers for lower outputs. 20–90 bags/min,* film up to 520 mm wide. Works with a multihead weigher or a cup filler.
Front panel up to 300 mm wide, up to 80 bags/min.* Gas flush, zipper and degassing valve as options.
*Machine maximum. Actual output depends on product, fill weight, bag size and film.
Hygienic and Standard models. 10–20 m³/h and up to 25 m lift, in Z-type and C-type layouts. We check the capacity in kg/h with your seeds.
For in-shell seeds and kernels where weight accuracy matters. A cup filler is an option where dosing by volume fits the product.
Checkweighing and metal detection, chosen once the product, package and film are known.
Bags into cases and cases onto pallets, planned around your case pattern and rate.
The dosing method depends on the seeds and how tight your weight tolerance is.

A seed line runs at the pace of its slowest stage. The conveyor is rated in m³/h, so we convert it to kg/h with your bulk density and compare it with what the packing line needs.
Supply must stay above demand. We set the final line target from product tests and agreed FAT conditions.

The machines, industry and guides behind this application.
Sunflower, pumpkin and watermelon seeds, in-shell or as kernels, roasted, salted or flavoured. Other seeds are tested the same way before the setup is fixed.
A multihead weigher measures weight, so it suits kernels, flavoured seeds and tight weight tolerances. A cup filler is simpler and costs less, and suits free-flowing seeds with a steady bulk density. We test your seeds and recommend one.
It can, with a changeover between products. Dosing settings, forming parts and bag size change with the product, so every product the line will run is tested.
Not always. It depends on the product, the film and the shelf life you need. Gas flushing and a zipper are options on the VGT.
Pillow and side gusset bags on the SVC260 and VP Series, and quad-seal bags with or without a zipper on the VGT.
Yes. Conveying, dosing, bagging, inspection, case packing and palletizing are planned as one line. Line planning is free.
Send the product, target weight, bag, film and required output. We will use them to define the packing setup and the test plan.
