Packaging Application

Candy Packaging Machine for Weighed Bags

Candy products vary in shape, surface stickiness, fragility and piece weight. A suitable line must feed consistently, reach the target bag weight, keep product clear of the seal and produce the intended retail presentation.

Published HYS Configuration Facts

  • Published VFFS speed range: 25–55 bags/min
  • PY-210G premade pouch page lists 60–100 bags/min and up to 200 g
  • PY-210G lists pouch sizes W 50–95 mm × H 100–280 mm
  • The selected weigher controls real accuracy and output

Final model, feeder, accuracy and output are confirmed from product and package samples.

Custom functions: Nitrogen flushing, dust extraction, metal detection and checkweighing require a customized machine or line configuration.

Product Behavior and Weighing

  • Multihead weighing is commonly evaluated for mixed pieces and flexible target weights.
  • Sticky gummy products may require suitable contact surfaces and environmental control.
  • Hard or wrapped candy can create impact and noise considerations during transfer.
  • Piece-weight variation determines the achievable combination accuracy.

VFFS Bags or Premade Pouches

  • VFFS supports efficient rollstock pillow and selected gusseted bag production.
  • Premade pouch systems support supplied zipper, stand-up or shaped retail pouches.
  • Bag volume, artwork registration and seal contamination risk must be tested.
  • Coding and optional inspection should match the final commercial package.

Required Test Information

  • Candy type, coating, stickiness, piece dimensions and weight distribution.
  • Target bag weights, tolerance and package dimensions.
  • Film or pouch samples and shelf-life requirements.
  • Output, changeover, cleaning and downstream needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

The bagger may be usable for both, but feeding, contact surfaces and cleaning can differ substantially. Each candy should be tested.

A multihead weigher is commonly evaluated, but the correct dosing system depends on piece behavior, target weight and required accuracy.
