The Austrian confectionery manufacturer PEZ International was looking for a fully automatic packaging system for wrapping its hard sweets. A high-performance and flexible system was required for the primary packaging of the sweets, which also had to be available quickly. A new development from Sacmi Packaging & Chocolate came at just the right time.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At its production site in Vienna, PEZ International produces around 2,000 tonnes of gelatine products and hard sweets in all varieties and shapes every year. The process ranges from the production of the raw mass from syrup, sugar and water to the final packaging. The fragile sweets, also known as \"Zuckerl\" in Austria, are then wrapped in film. To do this, the company uses several Packaging lines special wrapping machines<\/strong> one. At the end of 2021, PEZ International took on a customer enquiry that far exceeded the capacity of the existing packaging systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201eWe needed a high-performance Wrapping machine for the double twist wrapping of 800 hard sweets per minute<\/strong>, which also had to be installed quickly,\u201c explains Manfred Hackl, Technical Manager at PEZ International. And Sacmi Packaging & Chocolate<\/a> had recently launched a new development on the market. The The H-1K wrapping machine under the Carle & Montanari brand is designed for wrapping round and rectangular sweets in double twist wrapping.<\/strong> and met all performance specifications. The new system was delivered quickly and immediately impressed with the products in test operation.<\/p>

In addition, the packaging machine manufacturer was willing to adapt the feed disc of the H-1K specifically for this application. \u201eWith our existing wrapping machines, we have found that the sugar contained in the sweets smears the metal of the feed disc. Sacmi Packaging & Chocolate acted accordingly and designed a specially moulded plate made of high-strength plastic for us,\u201c emphasises Manfred Hackl.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The H-1K wrapping machine under the Carle & Montanari brand from Sacmi proved to be the perfect solution. Optimal solution for the double twist wrap of the small sweets<\/strong> at PEZ. Since April 2022, it has been packing hard sweets of various formats in two-shift operation. To do this, the sweets are first filled into a feed tray and then pass through a vibrating chute with a grid to separate out any broken pieces onto the rotating feed disc. Thanks to the servomotor-controlled drive profile of this single-cycle disc, the new winding machine offers high efficiency and high performance<\/strong>.<\/p>
