Candy Packing Machines
Hard candy, gummies, jelly candy and chocolate pieces behave differently during automatic packaging. Gummies may stick to equipment, while coated or hollow chocolates require gentler handling to avoid surface damage. Smart Weigh combines product-matched multihead weighers with standard, high-speed and mixed-weighing VFFS machines. Anti-stick contact surfaces, controlled vibration and dedicated weighing sections can be configured for pillow and gusset bags.

Common Candy Packaging Challenges
The right candy packing machine must control product flow, protect appearance and maintain accurate portions across different candy types.
Sticky Gummy Release
Soft gummies and jelly candy can cling to standard feeder pans and hopper walls. Patterned surfaces and scraper hoppers support cleaner discharge.
Chocolate Damage
Coated or hollow chocolate pieces may crack or become scuffed during aggressive handling. Controlled vibration and reduced drop heights limit product damage.
Small-Pack Giveaway
Minor overfills become costly across high volumes of small retail bags. Multihead weighing creates each portion by actual weight instead of relying on volume.
Assortment Consistency
Random bulk feeding may not maintain the required balance of candy types in assortment bags. Dedicated weighing sections portion different products before combining them in one package.
