Now in test for tortilla chips is a h/f/fs pouch.
Shown at the AlliedFlex Technologies booth was a standup pouch looking very similar to the one that consumers are so familiar with. But this one is significant because it’s not a preformed pouch filled on a Urania Engineering machine. It’s made from rollstock on a Velteko Model HSV-360 vertical form/fill/seal machine. Mission Foods is said to be testing the new format. According to Velteko, advantages include not only cost reduction and an increase in throughput but also better seal integrity that could lead to longer shelf life and fresher product.
