This case demonstrates Autron Tech's precision packaging solution for a confectionery client. The system is engineered to handle delicate chocolate bars with care, transforming a bulk flow into a stream of individually wrapped products, ready for retail distribution.
System Workflow:
1. Gentle Collection & Conveyance: Freshly molded chocolate bars are gently transferred from the production line onto a food-grade conveyor belt.
2. Product Alignment & Singulation: A dedicated collating system carefully aligns the chocolate bars and arranges them into a single, orderly row, preparing them for the packaging process.
3. Precise Spacing Control: An advanced photoelectric sensor on the subsequent conveyor detects each chocolate bar. It precisely controls the spacing between them, ensuring optimal positioning for the downstream wrapper to create perfectly sized and sealed pouches.
4. Individual Pillow Packaging: The perfectly spaced chocolates are fed into a high-speed vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machine. Each bar is wrapped in a protective film, with the machine performing precise thermal sealing and clean cutting to create individual, airtight pillow packs.
Value Delivered:
This Autron system guarantees a flawless and consistent wrap for every chocolate bar, enhancing product freshness and shelf appeal. The precision spacing and sealing significantly reduce film waste and minimize production downtime, delivering a rapid return on investment.
