Gummy Candy Multihead Weigher VFFS Packing Machine

These are the technical details of the gummy packing machine. They outline its performance capabilities and physical requirements for your facility.

Understanding these numbers is important because they show you how the machine will perform. The speed, accuracy, and size specifications help you plan how it will fit into your production goals.

This machine is built with anti-stick surfaces and hygienic designs. It keeps your gummy products flowing smoothly and makes cleaning fast and easy, while protecting freshness.

These features directly solve the biggest challenges of packing gummies. You get less product waste, reduced downtime for cleaning, and a longer shelf life for your candy.

Every part of this machine is engineered to handle the unique properties of gummy candies. From the moment the product enters the weigher to the final sealed bag, our design focuses on preventing sticking and maintaining hygiene.

• Specialized for Gummy Candies: The heart of the system is its anti-stick technology. All surfaces that touch the gummies, such as the weigher hoppers and chutes, feature a patterned, dimpled finish or are coated with PTFE (Teflon). This design dramatically reduces the surface area that gummies can stick to, ensuring they flow consistently without clumping or leaving residue behind. This means fewer interruptions and a more reliable packaging process.
• Optional Powder/Oil Modules: For extremely sticky or oily gummies, we offer integrated dusting or oil-spraying modules. A dusting unit can apply a fine layer of food-grade powder, while an oil spray system can apply a light, even coating. These modules are placed before the weigher to improve the flow of the product. They also enhance the final appearance of the gummies in the bag, preventing them from sticking together.
• Freshness Protection: Gummy candies can lose their ideal texture if exposed to air and moisture. Our machine supports nitrogen gas flushing, which pushes oxygen out of the bag before the final seal. When used with high-barrier films that block moisture and oxygen, this process can significantly extend the product’s shelf life. This keeps your gummies soft and fresh for longer.
• Hygienic and Easy-to-Clean Design: Food safety is critical. The machine is built with rounded welds and smooth surfaces to eliminate areas where sugar and residue can build up. All contact parts are made from SUS304 stainless steel and can be removed quickly without any tools. This makes the cleaning process much faster and more thorough, which is essential when changing between different flavors or product runs.

Making an informed decision requires detailed information. These extended answers provide deeper insight into how our machine is perfectly suited for the specific demands of gummy candy production.

Q1: Do all gummy candies need a powder or oil spray system?
A1: Not necessarily. It depends on how sticky your specific gummy formula is. Many gummies with a light sugar or wax coating can run perfectly well with just our standard anti-stick features, like the patterned and PTFE-coated hoppers. The optional powder or oil spray modules are recommended for very sticky, “naked” gummies that have no coating at all. These systems give an extra layer of separation to guarantee the product flows freely and doesn’t clump together in the bag. We can test your product to recommend the best solution.

Q2: How do you prevent the inside of the film from getting sticky or showing sugar marks?
A2: This is a common problem called “sugar smearing.” It happens when gummies touch the inside of the forming tube as they drop. Our machine minimizes this in several ways. First, the anti-stick coating on the discharge chute helps release the gummies cleanly. Second, we can add an optional air-assist blower at the top of the forming tube. This creates a cushion of air that helps guide the gummies down the center of the tube, reducing contact with the film. Finally, ensuring the product is at a stable temperature also helps reduce stickiness.

Q3: What is the relationship between high-barrier film and shelf life?
A3: High-barrier films are packaging materials made with special layers (like EVOH or metallic layers) that are excellent at blocking oxygen and moisture. Standard poly films are more porous. When you use a high-barrier film combined with nitrogen flushing, you create a protected environment inside the bag. This stops the gummies from drying out and becoming hard, and it also prevents them from absorbing moisture and becoming too sticky. The result is a much longer shelf life, keeping the product at its ideal texture and taste for consumers.

Q4: Will different gummy sizes and shapes affect the weighing accuracy?
A4: Yes, inconsistent product size can affect accuracy. A multihead weigher works by combining the weights from several small hoppers to reach the target weight. If the individual piece weight varies a lot, it becomes harder for the weigher’s computer to find the perfect combination. However, our weighers use advanced software algorithms that learn and adapt to your product. While extreme size variation will slightly reduce accuracy compared to a uniform product, the machine is designed to still achieve a very high level of precision (typically ±0.5–1.0 g) for most gummy products.
