Sweet Solutions: How Modern Multihead Weighers Are Transforming Candy Packaging Efficiency
Tapping into the Explosive Growth of the Candy Industry
The global candy industry is on a remarkable growth trajectory, projected to exceed $270 billion by 2024. With China’s market alone expected to cross ¥150 billion, manufacturers are facing unprecedented opportunities to grow their operations and market share.
But to truly benefit from this surge in demand, candy producers must address a critical yet often overlooked part of their production process: precise and efficient weighing and packaging.
At Guangdong Kenwei, we’ve specialized in combination weigher technology for over two decades. We know that in candy production, accuracy isn’t optional—it’s essential. It has a direct impact on:
-
Reducing material waste
-
Meeting regulatory packaging standards
-
Maintaining consistent product quality
-
Ensuring customer satisfaction and trust
Top Weighing Challenges in Candy Manufacturing
Even the most delicious confections can encounter production setbacks. Here are the most common weighing-related issues facing today’s candy producers:
1. Stickiness That Slows You Down
Sticky treats like gummies and marshmallows tend to adhere to machinery, which can cause:
-
Inaccurate weight readings
-
Equipment blockages
-
Increased cleaning time
-
Contamination risks and halted production
2. Inconsistent Portion Control
Precision is crucial in candy packaging. Without it, producers risk:
-
Underfilling or overfilling packs
-
Violating regulatory standards
-
Earning customer complaints
-
Losing revenue due to waste or refunds
3. Unbalanced Assorted Packs
Multi-flavor or multi-shape candy packs are attractive to consumers—but only when the distribution is even. Otherwise, you get:
-
Irregular taste combinations
-
Poor product presentation
-
Disappointed buyers
-
Damaged brand reputation
4. Handling Fragile Products with Care
Chocolates and hard candies are easily damaged if not handled gently. Standard weighing methods often lead to:
-
Cracked or broken pieces
-
Lower yield rates
-
Higher defect counts
-
Increased operational costs
5. Struggling to Keep Up with Demand
During busy seasons, slow weighing speeds can severely impact business. If the system can’t scale, you may face:
-
Missed delivery deadlines
-
Unmet demand
-
Lost revenue opportunities
