Continuous motion high speed wrapping
plant for hard candies in fold wrap with simultaneous overwrapping in flat stick
packs or stick packs »on edge«

Continuous motion high speed wrapping plant for square, rectangular, round and oval dies-formed or moulded hard candies in fold wrap with simultaneous overwrapping in flat stick packs or stick packs »on edge«. Sweets with semi-liquid centres can be handled without problems. The continuous motion principle of the HCW3 guarantees a particularly gentle handling of the products. A highly efficient feeding system with integrated sorting station eliminates sugar dust and broken pieces.The continuous motion operation of the HCW3 guarantees the gentle transfer of products from the feeding system through wrapping to the grouping unit where the sweets are counted, positioned and collated. Fully collated sticks are transferred to the F3 respectively F4 infeed chain where any stick packs with missing sweets are rejected.The HCW3 and F3 respectively F4 are equipped with automatic splicer (for one wrapping material) to avoid down-times as well as with pneumatic reel centring and core locking devices.
