Compact Auto Splice
Snack manufacturers are increasing automation across weighing, packaging and inspection processes to improve throughput and maintain consistent product quality. In this context, Ishida Europe announced it will present new processing and packaging systems for snack production at SNACKEX 2026, held from 17 to 18 June at FIL – The Lisbon Exhibition and Congress Centre in Lisbon, Portugal.
The company will present its solutions at Pavilion 4, Stand 401, together with its partner Heat and Control, a supplier of industrial food processing equipment. The exhibition will focus on integrated packaging line technologies including the CCW-AS multihead weigher, the INSPIRA Rotary Bagmaker, the Auto Splice film splicing system and the TSC-AS inline seal tester. These systems are designed to support automated snack packaging lines where weighing accuracy, packaging quality and process continuity are key performance factors.
CCW-AS
Multihead weighing technology for higher line throughput
The CCW-AS multihead weigher is designed to support high-speed, precise weighing in snack processing environments. The system incorporates automated hopper opening and closing adjustments intended to improve product flow and reduce production interruptions.
An updated feeding system is designed to improve product handling speed and accuracy, including for sticky snack products that may present handling challenges in conventional weighing systems. The machine also incorporates an enhanced motor drive designed to reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
These features reflect ongoing developments in food processing automation aimed at improving process consistency while reducing downtime in high-volume snack manufacturing.
Film handling and packaging continuity improvements
Ishida will also present its Auto Splice and Compact Auto Splice systems, which are designed to support continuous packaging operations by enabling faster film reel changes. The fully automated Auto Splice system minimizes manual intervention, while the Compact Auto Splice provides a space-saving alternative for production environments with limited installation space.
Both systems are designed to maintain continuous film supply, reduce operator intervention and lower the risk of errors during reel changes. This contributes to improved line uptime and supports safer packaging operations.
TSC-AS inline seal tester
Integrated quality control within automated food packaging lines
Additional systems on display include the INSPIRA Rotary Bagmaker and the TSC-AS inline seal tester, which address packaging consistency and seal integrity verification. These systems support quality assurance processes by helping to detect sealing defects and maintain packaging standards required in food production.
Within snack manufacturing environments, the integration of weighing, bagmaking and inspection systems reflects the increasing role of automated quality control and end-of-line inspection in the digital supply chain of food production.
