Flow wrapping for bulk confectionery products

Efficiently orient, feed, and wrap bulk confectionery items with seamless integration, ensuring gentle handling and high-speed output for diverse product shapes and sizes.

Wraps and Feeds Bulk Confectionery Products

The EURO 88 HSF8 with Disc Feeder, engineered by IMA Eurosicma, offers a precise solution for packaging small confectionery items such as hard candies, chocolate bites, and gummy bears. This system utilizes a centrifugal disc to align products in a single lane before advancing them through a servo-driven belt system, ensuring seamless, contact-less handling. Capable of operating at a throughput of up to 600 pieces per minute, the system integrates smoothly into high-speed, continuous production lines. Its automated features, including timing and feeding, reduce manual intervention while maintaining gentle product treatment. The machine supports easy, tool-free maintenance with auto-tensioning and auto-centering belt systems, ideal for manufacturers seeking reliability and cleanliness.
