Food packaging solutions provider Ishida Europe (Ishida) will return to SNACKEX in Lisbon, Portugal, to showcase its latest innovations in weighing, packing and quality control. Exhibiting alongside its industrial food equipment partner, Heat and Control, Ishida will demonstrate how its latest CCW-AS multihead weigher, INSPIRA Rotary Bagmaker, compact Auto Splice solution and TSC-AS inline seal tester can help snack manufacturers boost speed, quality and overall line efficiency.
Taking place between 17 and 18 June 2026 at the FIL – The Lisbon Exhibition and Congress Centre, SNACKEX is the world’s most comprehensive international trade fair dedicated exclusively to the savoury snack sector. Based in Pavilion 4 on stand 401, the highlight of Ishida’s exhibition will be its flagship multihead weigher, the CCW‑AS. Engineered for fast, accurate weighing to accelerate production lines, the CCW-AS builds on 50 years of combination‑weighing expertise, and introduces advances in automation, precision, consistency and efficiency.
Supporting snack manufacturers
With its innovative automated machinery, Ishida is supporting snack manufacturers as they face growing pressure to deliver higher‑quality snacks at greater speed and with fewer resources. The CCW‑AS automatically adjusts hopper opening and closing profiles, enhancing product flow, weighing efficiency and reducing downtime. A new feed system moves product faster and more precisely, including sticky snacks, to support higher throughput. An enhanced motor drive also helps lower energy use and running costs.
Ishida will also demonstrate its new, compact Auto Splice model on the stand. Customers can now choose between two models depending on their needs: the fully automatic Auto Splice, requiring minimal operator input, and the Compact Auto Splice, a cost effective, space-saving solution. Both models deliver near continuous film feed through faster reel changes and reduced risk of operator errors, resulting in increased uptime and safer operations.
Andrew Green, Business Unit Manager Snacks Packaging at Ishida Europe, said: “As the only international trade show dedicated exclusively to savoury snacks, SNACKEX is a great opportunity for the industry to come together and share the latest developments in snack manufacturing and packing.
“At SNACKEX we will demonstrate how Ishida’s innovations support snack producers at every stage of the line, from accurate weighing and consistent quality bagmaking to rigorous seal testing and quality control.
“Our goal is to help manufacturers boost efficiency, reduce cost and waste and to deliver the high‑quality products consumers expect, and we are looking forward to showing how our technologies deliver these benefits.”
