The packaging machine generally consists of a hopper to hold the boondi, a conveyor system to transport the snack, a weighing mechanism to ensure consistent portion sizes, and a sealing system to close the bags securely. The boondi is fed into the hopper, and the conveyor system moves it through the machine. The weighing mechanism precisely measures the quantity of boondi to be packaged, ensuring consistency in each bag.

Once the boondi is weighed, it is dispensed into preformed bags or pouches. The sealing system then securely seals the bags, often using heat-sealing technology to ensure an airtight package that preserves the crispness of the boondi. Some machines may also include options for labeling, printing batch numbers, or adding other customization features.
