As candy products develop toward small specifications, multiple pouch types and diversified flavours, automatic candy packaging machines are gaining growing attention among food manufacturers. How to adapt to various packaging formats such as stand‑up pouches and zipper pouches while ensuring stable metering has become an important direction for upgrading candy packaging machinery. Recently, Guangzhou Marchi Packaging Equipment Co., Ltd., among candy packaging machine manufacturers, has launched the MCGD8‑200 pre‑made pouch packaging solution for candies and snack foods, adapted to the packaging processes of various candy materials.
I. Candy Packaging Demands Trend toward Multiple Varieties and Small Batches
Candy products cover fruit candy, milk candy, soft candy, gummy candy, gel candy, marshmallow, compressed candy, mint candy, preserved plum candy, toffee, nougat, crisp candy, nut candy, chocolate beans, lollipops, bubble gum and chewing gum. Different materials vary greatly in flowability, sugar content, particle size and surface viscosity. For example, powdered candies tend to generate dust; nut candies require reduced breakage; soft candies and gummy candies need to avoid adhesion; compressed candies and chocolate beans impose high requirements on metering speed. Therefore, automatic candy packaging machines need wide pouch‑type compatibility and stable feeding control.
As one of the candy packaging machine manufacturers, Guangzhou Marchi Packaging Equipment Co., Ltd. has 27 years of manufacturing experience in packaging equipment. It can adjust metering, pouch opening, heat sealing and shaping processes according to material conditions. Its MCGD8‑200 model is suitable for composite films such as PE composite film, aluminium foil film and metallised film. It supports stand‑up pouches, zipper pouches, spout stand‑up pouches and flat pouches. Pouch width adjustment is motor‑controlled; one button synchronously adjusts all gripper groups to help reduce product changeover time.
II. Parameters and Workflow of MCGD8‑200 Equipment
Main parameters of this candy packaging machinery: Model MCGD8‑200; packaging dimension L×W: (100～300) × (100～200) mm; packaging speed: 25～90 pouches per minute; applicable pouch types: stand‑up pouches, zipper pouches, spout stand‑up pouches and flat pouches; automatic pouch width adjustment; applicable materials: composite films including PE composite film, aluminium foil film and metallised film.
Packaging workflow: pouch feeding → coding → zipper opening → pouch opening → metered feeding → cleaning → heat sealing → shaping. The equipment adopts PLC control and human‑machine interface for intuitive operating information. Multiple error‑prevention mechanisms are equipped during operation: no feeding when there is no pouch or incomplete pouch opening; no material discharge without pouch opening; no sealing without pouch or feeding. Users may optionally equip alarm functions for door opening, missing colour band, insufficient air pressure and abnormal sealing temperature. Parts in contact with materials are made of 304/316 stainless steel or food‑grade plastic, meeting sanitary requirements for food contact surfaces of candies, nuts, preserved fruits, candied fruits, puffed foods, pet snacks and other products.
III. Adaptability to Multiple Packable Materials
The MCGD8‑200 automatic candy packaging machine can handle common granular, tablet, strip, small block and some powder‑granule mixed materials. Examples include candies such as fruit candy, mint candy, preserved plum candy, compressed candy, chocolate beans, nut candy, crisp candy, nougat, toffee and milk candy. It can also be applied to nuts and roasted seeds, preserved fruits and candied fruits, puffed foods, pet snacks, seasoning powder sachets, frozen foods and more. Packaging manufacturers can select metering methods and adjust feeding depth and heat‑sealing temperature according to the sugar content, oil content and flowability of materials.
IV. Selection Recommendations from Candy Packaging Machine Manufacturers
From practical production, evaluating automatic candy packaging machines is not merely comparing speed indicators. Pouch changeover frequency, material viscosity, sealing quality and cleaning convenience should also be considered. For factories producing soft candies, hard candies, milk candies and multi‑specification gift pouches simultaneously, attention is recommended to functions such as automatic pouch width adjustment, pouch opening detection and no‑feeding without pouches. These details directly affect raw material loss and shift efficiency.
Guangzhou Marchi Packaging Equipment Co., Ltd. has complete sheet metal processing, assembly and electrical commissioning capabilities in the manufacturing of candy packaging machinery. It can provide support for candy packaging projects ranging from equipment matching and parameter commissioning to on‑site training. The packaging size range of its MCGD8‑200 equipment covers lengths from 100 mm to 300 mm and widths from 100 mm to 200 mm. It can adapt to common small candy pouches, share packs and some family packs, facilitating multi‑variety production scheduling for medium and large food factories.
V. Conclusion
As candy consumption develops toward health orientation, small specifications and combination packs, automatic candy packaging machines need to continuously improve multi‑pouch adaptability, metering accuracy and sanitation level. For food enterprises focusing on equipment stability and product changeover efficiency, selecting candy packaging machine manufacturers with profound manufacturing accumulation and complete service workflows helps reduce subsequent maintenance costs. Guangzhou Marchi Packaging Equipment Co., Ltd. keeps improving pre‑made pouch packaging, quantitative metering and automatic production lines to provide reliable packaging machinery support for candies, nuts, preserved fruits, puffed foods and other product categories.
