Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) packaging machines, as core packaging equipment in the confectionery processing industry, perfectly adapt to the diverse forms and large-scale production needs of confectionery products due to their integrated "bag making-filling-sealing" operation. They have become standard equipment for processing various types of confectionery, including hard candy, soft candy, chocolate beans, nougat, and fruit candy. Their application scenarios and core advantages are as follows:
Particle/Block Confectionery: Such as hard candy, fruit candy, chocolate beans, rainbow candy, etc. Through precise metering devices (counting, volumetric, or weighing), single or multiple-piece quantitative packaging is achieved, supporting flexible counting from 1-100 pieces. Suitable for retail small packages (e.g., 5g, 10g individual packs) or family sharing packs (e.g., 100g, 200g bags).
Sticky/Soft Candies: Such as gummies, nougat, toffee, etc., equipped with an anti-stick feeding device and food-grade non-stick contact parts to prevent candies from sticking to the equipment, ensuring smooth filling, and supporting single or multiple stacked packaging.
Irregularly Shaped/Mixed Candies: Such as lollipops (stick removed and individually packaged), filled candies, lava candies, etc., can be made into bags using customized molds to adapt to the packaging needs of candies with special shapes, ensuring that the bag shape fits the product and reducing packaging redundancy.
Mixed Candy Combinations: Supports mixed quantitative packaging of multiple flavors and shapes of candies (such as assorted candy gift packs), achieving precise proportions through a multi-compartment design to meet diverse consumer taste needs.
Connects to candy forming machines and cooling lines at the front end, and date coding machines, metal detectors, and packing machines at the back end, realizing a fully automated assembly line operation of "forming - cooling - packaging - inspection - packing," eliminating the need for manual handling and adapting to the high-paced production of candy processing.
Supports continuous 24-hour operation, adapting to the surge in production capacity during peak seasons in the confectionery industry (such as holidays and e-commerce promotions), avoiding bottlenecks caused by manual packaging.
Packaging speed can reach 30-120 bags/minute, far exceeding manual packaging (3-5 bags/minute). A single unit can meet the daily packaging needs of 100,000-500,000 bags of candy, significantly shortening the production cycle and reducing labor costs per unit product.
Integrated operation process (no need for pre-making bags or manual bagging), reducing intermediate steps, avoiding the risk of moisture and contamination caused by candy being exposed to air, and improving production continuity.
Equipped with a high-precision counting or weighing system, with a measurement error ≤±1%, ensuring consistent quantity/weight of candy in each bag, avoiding consumer complaints, and meeting food industry measurement standards.
Utilizing heat-sealing or ultrasonic sealing technology, the product boasts high sealing strength and excellent airtightness, effectively blocking oxygen, moisture, and dust, extending the shelf life of candies (hard candies to 12-24 months, soft candies to 6-12 months), while preventing candies from sticking together, clumping, and spoiling.
All contact parts are made of food-grade 304 stainless steel, complying with FDA and GMP standards, ensuring no chemical migration and guaranteeing candy safety while avoiding contamination risks.
Supports customization of various bag types: such as three-side seal, four-side seal, back seal, stand-up pouches (with zippers), etc. Differentiated packaging can be designed according to the candy's positioning (such as retail pouches, gift bags, and portable packs) to enhance product shelf appeal.
Compatible with different packaging materials: such as OPP/PE, PET/PE, CPP/PE composite films, enabling transparent packaging (showcasing the candy's appearance), matte packaging (enhancing texture), or oxygen-barrier preservation film (extending the shelf life of soft candies), meeting the needs of different product characteristics. Quick Parameter Switching: Bag length, width, and metering specifications can be adjusted with a single click via the PLC touchscreen. Changeover time is ≤10 minutes, adaptable to multi-variety, small-batch candy production (e.g., seasonal limited-edition flavors, customized candy orders).
On-Demand Bag Making Mode: Packaging bags are precisely formed according to candy dimensions, eliminating excess waste and increasing packaging material utilization by 15-20%. Compared to pre-made bag packaging, material loss is significantly reduced.
High Automation: Only 1-2 operators are required to monitor the equipment, reducing labor demand by over 80% compared to manual packaging, lowering labor management costs and reducing human error (e.g., counting errors, packaging damage).
Low Equipment Maintenance Costs: Modular design allows for easy disassembly and cleaning of core components (e.g., sealing devices, metering devices), meeting food industry hygiene standards and minimizing downtime for maintenance.
The machine features a fully enclosed structure to prevent dust and debris from entering the interior. It is also equipped with a cleaning spray system for easy daily cleaning and disinfection, avoiding cross-contamination and complying with food production hygiene standards.
It supports online date coding and batch traceability functions, allowing the printing of production dates, shelf lives, and batch numbers on packaging bags for easy product quality traceability and compliance with regulatory inspections.
In summary, the vertical packaging machine, with its core advantages of "high efficiency, precision, flexibility, and hygiene," perfectly solves the four core pain points in confectionery processing: "large-scale production, diversified packaging, quality preservation, and cost control." It not only improves the automation level and capacity of confectionery production but also enhances product market competitiveness through customized packaging and quality assurance. It is a key piece of equipment for modern confectionery processing plants to achieve standardized, efficient, and compliant production.
