The Pakworks Advantage
- Core Manufacturing Processes
High-Volume Extrusion
We specialise in the extrusion of maize-based snacks, operating state-of-the-art lines capable of massive daily outputs.
- Precision Control: Exacting standards for texture, crunch, and density.
- Volume Capacity: Capable of producing millions of individual units daily to meet aggressive national supply chain demands.
- Flavour Application: Advanced tumbling and seasoning technology ensuring consistent, edge-to-edge flavour coating on every single product.
Expert Roasting & Processing
Our facility houses dedicated, high-temperature roasting lines designed specifically for premium legumes and nuts.
- Uniform Roasting: Technology that ensures a perfect, consistent roast for bulk peanut processing, preventing over-baking and preserving natural oils.
- Coating & Seasoning: Specialised flavour-adhesion processes for products like Safari and Simba peanuts, ensuring the seasoning remains intact from the factory floor to the consumer’s hands.
Automated Co-Packing & Packaging
Manufacturing the product is only half the process; securing its freshness is the other. Our automated packaging lines are built for speed and reliability.
- Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP): Nitrogen flushing capabilities to extend shelf-life and preserve the crunch and freshness of our snacks.
- Flexible Formats: Capable of handling a wide variety of pack sizes, from single-serve impulse bags to large-format sharing packs.
