Trend Analysis of Candy Packaging

In recent years, domestic candy technical experts have made gratifying achievements in introducing cooperation and independent innovation. In the candy equipment, the production line of inflatable milk candy, the automatic production line of colloidal soft candy, the ultra-thin film vacuum instantaneous boiling unit, the cotton candy production line, etc. have been launched successively; the packaging machinery includes single-knot packaging machine, folding packaging machine, high-speed pillow packaging machine, etc. In terms of chocolate equipment, there are multi-functional chocolate filling lines, automatic chocolate compound product production lines, chocolate extrusion molding lines, chocolate rapid production lines, grinding machines, etc.

Multifunctionality is an important trend in the development of new equipment, because of the wide variety of sweets and the rapid update. Manufacturers' requirements for equipment are versatile and adaptable. For example, the newly developed automatic production line for chocolate compound products has multiple functions for the production of confectionery, compound chocolate and coated products. Throughout the production line, it can produce high-quality compound chocolates with various cores and different layers. For example, it uses only the shaped part of the front end and can produce rectangular varieties such as nougat, toffee, Swiss and milk candy. If the coating part of the rear end is used, the surface coating requirements of various products can be met.

In addition, most of the new equipment adopts new technologies such as servo motor and photoelectric tracking, which greatly improves its automatic control ability. For example, the automatic production line for chocolate compound products consists of nearly 20 units. Due to the different technological requirements of different varieties, there is not only the adjustment problem of each unit itself, but also the problem of speed coordination between units in the operation process. The unit uses the main frequency converter to control the speed converter of each unit.

When packaging standardized products, confectionery and chocolate manufacturers often require high-speed and automatic packaging machines to pursue packaging cost optimization with economies of scale. Therefore, in recent years, packaging machine manufacturers have developed high-speed, automated candy and chocolate packaging machines for different types of products, such as traditional pillow packaging and some packaging machines for double-kinked products. In this type of packaging machine, the manufacturers have adopted the latest technologies such as servo motors, photoelectric tracking, high-speed cameras, etc., to achieve the efficiency of the packaging machine. At present, there are high-speed pillow-type hard candy packaging machines, which can pack 1500-2000 capsules per minute. The high-speed chocolate pillow packaging machine should be further developed from the aspects of supporting equipment and cold air packaging film to achieve high speed without affecting the quality of internal chocolate products. In addition, automatic steering, automatic finishing, emergency stop and acceleration of the conveyor belt connected to the chocolate packaging machine are also widely used. Second, for non-standard or seasonal products, the packaging machine should be designed to be flexible, lightweight and small. This device is not about speed, but about personalized packaging and flexibility. In addition, the unique packaging design can also meet the competition of commodities, keep innovating, and give people a visual impact, such as a bottle of xylitol gum on the market, because the improved packaging is more suitable for the consumption psychology of young people, and the product is very popular. welcome.
