How Do You Package Candies?

How do you package candies? We always use the flow wrapping machine.

Flow wrapping is a popular packaging method used in the food industry, particularly for small items such as candies. It involves wrapping a product in a continuous film of plastic, creating a sealed package that protects the contents from external factors such as moisture, air, and dust. In this article, we will explore how candies are packaged using a flow wrapping machine.

Step 1: Preparing the Flow Wrapping Machine

The first step in packaging candies using a flow wrapping machine is to prepare the machine. This involves setting the correct parameters such as the film width, speed, and temperature. The film width must match the size of the candies being packaged to ensure a proper seal. The speed of the machine must also be adjusted to match the production rate required. Finally, the temperature must be set to ensure the film is heated to the correct level for sealing.

Step 2: Feeding the Candies

Once the machine is prepared, the candies are fed into the machine. This is typically done using a hopper or conveyor belt. The candies must be fed in a consistent manner to ensure a uniform packaging.

Step 3: Film Unwinding and Forming

The next step is to unwind the plastic film from a roll and form it into a tube. The film is guided through a series of rollers that fold it into a tube. The tube is then sealed along the longitudinal edge to create a continuous seam. The size of the tube is adjusted to match the size of the candies being packaged.

Step 4: Product Loading

The candies are then loaded into the tube using a feeding system. This system ensures that the candies are spaced out evenly and in the correct position for wrapping. The feeding system may use a vibratory tray or a series of belts to move the candies along.

Step 5: Sealing and Cutting

Once the candies are loaded, the tube is sealed along the transverse edge to create individual packages. The sealing is done using a heated sealing bar, which melts the plastic film and creates a strong seal. The sealing bar moves across the tube, creating individual packages at a predetermined length. The packages are then cut using a cutting blade, which separates them from the continuous tube.

Step 6: Product Discharge

The finished packages are then discharged from the machine using a conveyor belt. The packages can be collected in boxes or trays for further processing and distribution.

Conclusion

Flow wrapping is an efficient and cost-effective method for packaging candies. The process involves feeding the candies into a continuous film of plastic, which is then sealed and cut to create individual packages. The packages are then discharged from the machine for further processing and distribution. By following these steps, you can ensure that your candies are packaged efficiently and attractively, ready for sale to customers.
