Packaging products such as chocolate drops presents specific and complex challenges for confectionery companies.
The product’s sensitivity and size require solutions that ensure precision in weighing and robustness in packaging without compromising its quality and integrity.
In addition, manufacturers need to meet increasingly diverse and varied market demands, often requiring multiple formats on a single line.
The challenge: two formats with a single production line
In this case, the specific requirement was to get two formats from a single production line with a single feeding point.
Our customer wanted a line that could pack both 5 kg bags and 20 kg bags, two very different formats.
The Comek solution
To meet these requirements, Comek designed a packaging line consisting of two separate systems, but capable of working both simultaneously and alternately.
Let’s take a closer look at the characteristics of the two systems;
Line for 5 kg format
Composed of the vertical packaging machine VPB 400 EVO and the multi-head weigher CK12ST, with a production of 10 bags per minute.
Line for 20 kg format
Composed of the vertical packaging machine VPE 450M and the linear weigher DIGILYNE 1T-M, ideal for handling higher weights, with a production of 3 bags per minute.
Health and Safety
Cleanliness and hygiene are priority items in the food sector.
For this, the EVO lines of packaging machines are equipped with an Open Frame that facilitates cleaning operations, eliminating profiles and storage areas where product residues could accumulate.
In addition, this design considerably reduces working time, making it easier and faster to access the machine for routine maintenance.
