Frozen Food Packaging
Frozen foods do not all feed, weigh or drop into a bag the same way. We build the line around your product, with our SVC260 continuous-motion VFFS at the center.
Typical route: weighing → VFFS bagging → inspection → case packing
What Are You Packaging?
Each frozen product has its own page, with its challenges, route and test.
Frozen Shrimp
Weighing glazed, uneven shrimp and keeping ice out of the seal.
Chicken Nuggets
Few pieces per bag, coating damage on the drop and crumbs in the seal.
Frozen Meatballs
Rolling, sticking and bounce at the bag mouth, with few pieces per bag.
Packing another frozen product, such as vegetables or dumplings? Send it to us and we test it the same way. Products that run on the same machine still each get their own test.
Common Frozen Food Packaging Challenges
Five things that decide how a frozen food line performs.
Stable product feeding
Frost, shape and sticking change how the product reaches the weigher.
Stable weighing
The weigher has to match the piece size, the target weight and the dose rate the bagger needs.
Controlled product drop
Drop height, timing and bounce decide how fast bags can be filled without breakage.
Clean sealing
Ice, crumbs or pieces in the seal turn machine speed into rejects.
Cleaning and access
Cleaning requirements come from your product and your plant standard.
Recommended Packaging Route
Each step is matched to the product 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
Case Packing
Bags into cases
- 06
Palletizing
Cases onto pallets
The SVC260 bags the product; weighing, inspection, case packing and palletizing are integrated around it. Bucket conveyors are not part of the standard frozen food route. If a project needs one, we test it with the frozen product first.
SVC260 and Bag Formats
Pillow bags on the SVC260 are the first route for frozen foods.
Pillow Bag
Side Gusset BagWhy the SVC260
Built for frozen foods and IQF products. Continuous motion, bags up to 260 mm wide and 400 mm long, up to 160 bags/min.*
View SVC260*Machine maximum. Actual output depends on product, fill weight, bag size and film.
Define Sustainable Good Output
A frozen food line runs at the pace of its slowest stage, so we check every stage instead of quoting one machine's top speed.
We set the final line target from product tests and agreed FAT conditions.

Product feed
A steady flow of product into the weigher
- 02
Weighing
Enough sustainable doses per minute
- 03
Bagging
Enough good bags per minute
- 04
Inspection
Enough accepted packs per minute
- 05
Case packing
Enough cases per minute at the bags per case you need
Test With Your Frozen Product
Send a sample or the product details. We run them before the final configuration is fixed. The test is free; you cover the shipping of your samples.

The machines, package formats, complete line and services behind this industry.
Which LINYOPACK machine is used for frozen foods?
The SVC260 continuous-motion VFFS, which is built for frozen foods and IQF products.
Can every frozen product use the same setup?
No. Product flow, size, coating, frozen condition, target weight, bag and film can all change the setup. Each product is tested before the configuration is fixed.
Can the line run at 160 bags/min?
160 bags/min is the SVC260's machine maximum, not a frozen food line result. Your line output is set from the product, the weighing, the bag and the film.
Which bag formats are available?
Pillow bags are standard on the SVC260. Side gusset bags are an option where the project needs them.
Can a bucket conveyor feed frozen products?
Our pendulum bucket conveyors are not yet proven with frozen products. If a project needs one, we test it with your frozen product first.
Can case packing and palletizing be added?
Yes. Robotic case packing and palletizing can be integrated after the bagger, around your bag, case and pallet requirements.
