Industry Pain Points
·Uncontrollable compartment weight accuracy and compliance risks: Traditional manual or ordinary equipment cannot guarantee consistent net content of 6 independent compartments, resulting in frequent overweight/underweight issues, uneven portion distribution, which damages the brand image of high-end gift boxes and brings non-compliance risks with international food metering regulations.
·Severe material mixing and cross-contamination: Chocolate beans of different flavors, colors and formulas are prone to mixing during filling, leading to unqualified product appearance, flavor cross-contamination, and whole-box scrapping, causing huge raw material and packaging waste.
·High product breakage rate and poor appearance: The sugar coating and crisp layer on the surface of chocolate beans are easily broken and scratched during conveying and weighing. The breakage rate of ordinary equipment is as high as 5% or more, which seriously reduces the qualified rate of finished products and product premium capacity.
·Extremely low manual production efficiency and high cost: Traditional gift box production requires a lot of manual work for material distribution, weighing, box filling and capping, with extremely low single-shift capacity, high labor cost, inability to meet peak season order demands, and frequent wrong/missing filling caused by manual operation.
·Food hygiene and compliance risks: Chocolate is a high-risk food, frequent manual contact brings microbial contamination risks. Ordinary equipment has sanitary dead corners, is difficult to clean, and cannot meet the requirements of FDA, BRC, IFS and other international high-end food certification, which restricts export to the global market.
·Serious waste from whole-box scrapping: Traditional production cannot individually detect and reject unqualified products in a single compartment. Any problem in one compartment leads to direct scrapping of the whole box, resulting in serious waste of raw materials and packaging materials, and a sharp increase in production costs.
·Poor multi-station synchronization and high defect rate: Filling of 6 materials and 6 compartments requires extremely high equipment synchronization. Ordinary production lines are prone to filling misalignment, missing filling and wrong filling, resulting in a large number of unqualified products and low production efficiency.
