How Snacks Get Packaged: The Complete Journey of Melon Seeds
Why Melon Seeds Are a Nutritional Powerhouse
Melon seeds—including watermelon, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds—are among Asia’s most popular snacks. South Asia’s shellless varieties stand out for their unique texture and convenience. Packed with nutrients, sunflower seeds, in particular, offer:
✔ High nutritional value: 500–600 calories per 100g, with 80% being heart-healthy unsaturated fats
✔ Cholesterol management: Helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) levels
✔ Rich in minerals: Iron, zinc, and magnesium for better immunity
✔ Vitamin E boost: Just a handful meets your daily requirement
Beyond snacking, these seeds serve as key ingredients in baking and oil production. Sunflower oil, especially, is celebrated as a premium, heart-friendly cooking oil.

How Our Melon Seed Packaging Machine Works
Step 1: Effortless Loading
Workers simply pour seeds into the Z-type elevator’s vibrating hopper, which automatically lifts and feeds them into the system.
Step 2: Precision Measuring
-
Our engineers customize the machine based on:
✓ Product type (size, texture)
✓ Speed requirements (40–100 bags/min)
✓ Packaging dimensions (adjustable bag width/length) -
A rotating turntable with 4 measuring cups ensures continuous filling—when one cup fills, the system rotates to the next without stopping.
Step 3: Sealing & Finishing
-
Film rolls are fed into the bag former, shaping the packaging.
-
Measured seeds drop into pre-formed pouches.
-
Heat sealing ensures airtight freshness before cutting into individual bags.
