From the assurance of product integrity to the optimisation of packaging processes for efficiency and sustainability, confectionery manufacturers face a range of challenges. As consumer demand grows and regulatory requirements tighten, manufacturers increasingly recognise the need for investment in advanced packaging technologies to stay competitive.
Ishida is a key innovator in this space, developing state-of-the-art solutions for enhanced quality, reduced waste, and greater operational efficiency. In this blog, we’ll focus on five recent examples of success, where confectionery producers have leveraged Ishida’s cutting-edge solutions to overcome manufacturing challenges.
Otmuchow (Poland) – Enhanced Quality Control for Jelly Confectionery
Otmuchow, a major Polish confectionery manufacturer, recognised the need for a highly accurate quality control system for the detection and removal of defective jelly sweets from the production line.
The deployment of Ishida’s CCW & DACS combination system enabled Otmuchowto to significantly improve product quality and minimise contamination risks.
These benefits were realised:
- Enhanced product integrity.
- Enhanced brand reputation for quality assurance.
- Reduced rework and waste.
- The integration of advanced check-weighing and detection systems, ensuring delivery of only the highest quality products to the market.
Ruebezahl (Germany) – X-ray Technology for Chocolate Bars
Ruebezahl required a robust foreign body detection system to meet stringent food safety standards in their chocolate bar production.
The integration of Ishida’s X-ray inspection system enabled Ruebezahl to more reliably detect metal, glass, stone, and plastic contaminants.
The benefits included:
- Improved safety and compliance with international standards.
- Early detection of foreign bodies, preventing costly recalls.
- Enhanced brand reputation for quality assurance.
- Investing in advanced X-ray technology is crucial for ensuring product safety in confectionery manufacturing.
Niger Biscuits (Nigeria) – Multihead Weighing for Increased Efficiency
Niger Biscuits recognised the need for improved packaging line speed and accuracy, particularly in the handling of delicate confectionery products.
The company streamlined its packaging operations through the integration of Ishida’s CCW multihead weighing technology.
These benefits were realised:
- Increased production throughput.
- Minimised product giveaway, reducing costs.
- Improved handling of fragile products for the maintenance of quality.
This reflects the potential to boost operational efficiency and ensure precise portioning with Ishida’s automated weighing technology.
Dobosz (Poland) – Advanced Combination Weighing & X-ray Inspection
Dobosz sought a dual-purpose solution for both accurate weighing and contaminant detection in its confectionery production.
The deployment of Ishida’s CCW-SE-214 multihead weigher and IX-EN-2493-S X-ray system would allow for simultaneous weight control and quality assurance.
The benefits included:
- Integrated inspection and weighing reduced production line complexity.
- Guaranteed product safety with X-ray detection.
- Improve portioning precision and efficiency.
This success story highlights the potential for a seamless, high-performance packaging operation through the integration of weighing and inspection systems.
The Future of Confectionery Packaging
The case studies presented above illustrate the capacity for confectionery manufacturing transformation with advanced technologies from Ishida. From multihead weighers and checkweighers to X-ray inspection systems, these solutions help producers overcome efficiency, quality, and compliance challenges.
Brands have the opportunity to enhance product consistency, reduce waste, and ensure top-tier quality standards with Ishida’s cutting-edge automation and inspection technology. In turn, this will make for greater consumer trust and operational success.
