Comprehensive Candy Packaging Line: From Counting to Labeling with Urban's Integrated Solutions

Comprehensive Candy Packaging Line: From Counting to Labeling with Urban's Integrated Solutions
In the competitive confectionery industry, efficiency, precision, and compliance are the cornerstones of success. Urban Pharmaceutical Equipment Co., Ltd. offers a complete integrated packaging line tailored for candy production—combining advanced machinery, food-grade safety, and intelligent operation to streamline your workflow from bottle sorting to final labeling. Whether you’re producing gummy bears, individually wrapped candies, or hard candies, this turnkey solution delivers consistent performance, meeting the demands of high-volume manufacturing while adhering to global quality standards.

The Complete Packaging Line: Key Equipment & Synergistic Workflow
Urban’s packaging line is a seamless combination of six core machines, designed to work in perfect harmony to achieve a production capacity of 60-80 bottles per minute (60 candies per bottle). The workflow follows a logical sequence: Rotary Table → Counting Machine → Feeding Elevator → Capping Machine → Labeling Machine → Bottle Collection Rotary Table, ensuring no bottlenecks and maximum efficiency.
1. UTZP-300 Rotary Table (Bottle Sorting & Collection)
As the starting and ending point of the line, the UTZP-300 rotary table features a 900mm diameter rotary table that gently sorts and transfers bottles. It accommodates bottle sizes from 15 to 650ml, with an adjustable outlet to fit various container shapes. Made of SS304 stainless steel, it meets GMP and CE standards, while its variable speed control (0.1Kw power) ensures smooth integration with the counting machine. The table also serves as a collection station post-labeling, keeping finished products organized for further processing or shipment.
2. UTDS-16D Custom 16-Chute Electronic Counting Machine
The heart of the line, this counting machine is engineered for precision and speed. Equipped with a 3-level widened vibration plate and dual discharge nozzles, it efficiently feeds individually wrapped candies (3*1.8cm) or loose candies without jamming. Its electrical sensor counting system achieves an impressive 99.98%-99.99% accuracy, minimizing product waste. Key features include automatic stop when no bottles or bottle jams occur, a 7-inch Siemens touch screen for easy operation, and 3-level authority setting for process control. Food-contacting parts are made of 316L stainless steel, complying with FDA and GMP requirements, and it can also handle tablets and capsules for multi-purpose use.
3. Feeding Elevator
A vital auxiliary component, the feeding elevator seamlessly connects to the counting machine, automating the material supply process. It eliminates manual lifting, reducing labor costs and ensuring a continuous flow of candies to the counting machine—critical for maintaining high production speeds. Its robust design complements the line’s durability, with easy maintenance and cleaning.
4. UTCX-300 Screw Capping Machine
After counting and filling, the UTCX-300 capping machine ensures secure and consistent sealing. It features 4 sets of adjustable rubber wheels, suitable for caps with diameters from 15 to 65mm and heights from 8 to 30mm. The cap sorter uses gravity and air blowing to align caps correctly, while a sensor detection system rejects bottles with missing foil liners, loose caps, or tilted capping. With a capping accuracy of 99.9%, it supports round, square, and flat bottles, including child-safe caps. The machine is equipped with a Siemens PLC and touch screen, offering auto/manual operation modes and real-time alarm warnings (sound and light) for faults like insufficient caps.
5. UTTB-300 Labeling Machine
The final step in the packaging process, the UTTB-300 labeling machine applies labels to round bottles with precision. It achieves a labeling accuracy of ±1mm and a labeling rate of 99.9%, with support for label sizes ranging from 2020mm to 25075mm. Integrated TTO (Thermal Transfer Overprinting) coding prints clear batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and expiration dates (e.g., LOT: 123456, MFG: 2018/04/24, EXP: 2023/04) in up to 3 rows of 12 digits each. The machine stops automatically if there are no bottles, labels, or ribbon, and its sensor system adjusts label positions arbitrarily. Like other components, it is built with SS304 stainless steel and meets GMP, CE, and FDA standards.

Core Advantages of Urban’s Integrated Line
Unmatched Efficiency: 60-80 bottles per minute throughput, with the capping machine capable of 150 bottles per minute and the labeling machine 180 bottles per minute—scalable to meet high-volume demands.
Superior Precision: From 99.98%-99.99% counting accuracy to 99.9% capping and labeling rates, ensuring product consistency and reducing waste.
Food-Grade Safety: SS304 main body and 316L contact parts, compliant with GMP, FDA, and CE standards—safe for candy and pharmaceutical applications.
Intelligent Operation: 7-inch Siemens touch screens, PLC control, auto/manual modes, and 3-level authority setting simplify operation and process monitoring.
Robust & Durable: High-quality components (Schneider circuit breakers, Siemens converters, SICK sensors) ensure long-term reliability, with easy maintenance and tool-free removable parts.
Flexible Adaptability: Accommodates bottle sizes from 15 to 650ml, cap sizes from 15 to 65mm, and various candy types—ideal for multi-product facilities.
