Project Brief

Automatic Double-Twist Candy Wrapping Machines

Specify rotary feed-disc double-twist candy wrapping machines (150–450+ pcs/min) for hard boiled drops, center-filled sweets, and cylindrical toffees.

How Rotary Pocket Discs and Mechanical Twist Grippers Hit 450+ PPM

Double-twist wrapping remains the iconic presentation for hard boiled candies, butterscotch, throat drops, and eclairs across twist and fold candy wrappers. Within our candy wrapping machines lineup, modern servo-paper-feed double-twist units combine classic cam-driven mechanical reliability with electronic eye-mark and no-candy-no-paper control.

Standard automatic double-twist wrappers run 150–300 pcs/min (~2.2 kW, 380V, ~900 kg), while continuous rotary-head machines run 350–450+ pcs/min.

Wrap geometry—twisted tails, fin-sealed pillow ends, or dead-fold foil—locks the mechanical machine family before speed is selected.

Five-stage single-piece candy disc sorting, smart phasing, eye-mark registration, and wrapping sequence
At 200–800 pieces per minute, gentle feed-disc pocket capture and no-product-no-film servo standby determine net shift yield.

High-Speed Wrapping Engineering Notes

  • Twist-Memory Film Selection: Ordinary flow-wrap BOPP springs open after twisting; specify dedicated twist-retention PVC, cellophane, or metallized twist-PET.
  • Soft Brush Pocket Sweeping: Counter-rotating horsehair/nylon brushes settle candies into disc pockets without chipping glassy edges.
  • Quick Disc Swap for Multi-Shape Brands: Pre-timed interchangeable pocket discs let one base machine wrap ovals in the morning and cylinders in the afternoon.

Qualify Hard Drop & Eclair Samples

Send 1–2 kg of cooled unwrapped pieces to verify pocket clearances and dust extraction needs.

Throughput comparison across composite fold, box-motion flow-wrap, double-twist, and rotary-jaw pillow wrappers
Rotary continuous-motion mechanisms outpace intermittent reciprocating jaws whenever piece geometry and film twist memory allow.
