Setting Up a Pop Pop Snapper Production Line: Machines, Output and Cost

Pop pop snappers sell in large volumes for festivals and parties, and the product is simple: gravel wrapped in tissue paper, counted and packed. That makes it one of the easiest fireworks products to automate. This guide walks through the machines a snapper workshop needs.

The production steps

Step 1 – Prepare the gravel. Sand and gravel are washed, sifted to size and dried. YOVON's sand and stone washing machine (from USD 2,980) and stone sifting machine handle this step.

Step 2 – Wrap the snappers. The gravel is twisted into coloured tissue paper. YOVON supplies the tissue paper in 17 gsm rolls, 29 mm or 47 mm wide, together with PVC film.

Step 3 – Count and bag. The YOVON pop pop snapper machine packs 1,200–2,500 bags per hour, up to 60,000 snappers per hour, in 30-piece, 50-piece or 75-piece versions. It starts from USD 3,280 per set (EXW).

Step 4 – Box for retail. A box packing machine puts the bags into printed boxes made from cardboard box panels. It costs USD 22,000–25,000 per set (EXW).

Budget for a starter line

Gravel preparation – washing, sifting and drying machine: from USD 2,980

Counting and bagging – pop pop snapper machine: from USD 3,280

Retail boxing (optional) – box packing machine: from USD 22,000

A small workshop can start with the first two machines, about USD 6,260 before freight. Adding automatic boxing brings the total to about USD 28,000.

Planning your line

Each machine needs one operator, so a starter line of gravel preparation plus the snapper machine can run with a very small team. All YOVON machines can be built to your requirements, including a 110 V / 60 Hz version of the snapper machine.

Delivery takes 15 days. Every machine comes with a 1-year warranty, free installation videos and online guidance, and an engineer can visit your factory for training at an extra cost.

YOVON has exported fireworks machinery to 29 countries, including India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Turkey, Brazil and Mexico.
