Speed and flexibility for wrapped and unwrapped soft candies packaging

Discover our weighing and packaging line for soft candies: innovation and versatility for every need

The confectionery industry, particularly candy production, presents unique challenges that require highly specialized packaging solutions.

Soft candies are a particularly delicate product category.

Their often sticky consistency, combined with the need to preserve their taste, softness and freshness throughout the packaging process, requires high standards of accuracy and hygiene.

Candy manufacturers also face the challenge of packaging large volumes of product while maintaining consistent quality.

Furthermore, the growing demand for different packaging formats requires systems that can quickly adapt to different product configurations.

In this context, operational efficiency and the ability to respond to a constantly evolving market are key elements for success.

A complete solution for your product

That’s why at Comek, we have developed a weighing and packaging line specifically designed to meet the needs of soft candy manufacturers.

The system consists of a series of machines that work in synergy to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted packaging process.

The heart of the line is the OMNYA EVO 250 vertical packaging machine, capable of operating at high speeds, producing up to 110-120 pillow packs per minute for 120 g bags. For those needing to package soft candies in block-bottom bags, the line offers the possibility of reaching speeds of up to 75-80 packs per minute for 150 g bags without fin fold device and 55-60 packs per minute with fin fold device.

A distinctive feature of the line is the CK16ST-DP-2 multi-head weigher, which ensures maximum accuracy in dosing the candies, which are notoriously sticky and difficult to handle.

This weigher is designed to guarantee a constant and precise flow of product, optimizing production times and minimizing waste.

Flexibility and advanced technology

Our weighing and packaging line for soft candies is designed to offer a wide range of packaging options.

Thanks to the integration of advanced technologies, the system allows you to produce packages of various shapes and sizes:

  • 120 g pillow packs with a 300 mm film width.
  • 150 g and 300 g block-bottom bags with film widths of 260 mm and 280 mm, respectively.
  • 300 g block-bottom bags with clip and tie, ideal for products that require an elegant presentation.

The ability to quickly change packaging formats and the presence of an automatic horizontal film roll change system allows the line to continue operating without interruptions, thus increasing productivity and reducing downtime.

Optimize your production flow

It’s not just about speed and efficiency.

The Comek weighing and packaging line for soft candies is designed to allow confectionery manufacturers to manage the entire packaging process in an automated and integrated way.

Thanks to the single exit point of the packages, the products can be easily conveyed to an automatic cartoning system, minimizing manual intervention and ensuring a more efficient workflow.

The line can also be equipped with a vertical metal detector, an essential optional feature for ensuring product safety and quality, eliminating any contaminated packages.
