Sweets Packaging
PFM offers confectionery producers a complete range of flexible packaging solutions designed to ensure high speed production and precise product handling. Easy to operate and highly adaptable, PFM machines enable fast format changes while delivering consistent packaging quality.
Example of sweet products:
Hard candies
Sticky sugar surfaces and sharp edges increase abrasion and sealing challenges. PFM pillow-pack flow-wrap systems with long-dwell sealing and anti-stick technologies enable reliable packaging at high speeds.
Gummy candies
Highly sticky and moisture-sensitive products require controlled sealing temperatures and anti-adhesive handling. PFM flow-wrap solutions with low-temperature sealing and barrier films support consistent pack formation and freshness protection.
Chewing gum
Uniformly sticky products generate dust and require precise portion handling. PFM protective flow-wrap packaging with anti-stick machine surfaces and controlled sealing ensures clean processing and reliable pack quality.
Marshmallows
Soft, fragile, and hygroscopic products require gentle handling and moisture protection. PFM vertical pillow or flow-pack solutions with MAP options and reduced drop heights help preserve texture and appearance.
Caramels & toffee
Sticky products with variable shapes and oil release demand controlled sealing and barrier protection. PFM cold-seal flow-wrap systems with silicone-coated sealing components ensure stable packaging and oil containment.
Lollipops
Irregular shapes with sticks require adaptable feeding and limited thermal exposure during sealing. PFM flow-pack solutions with reinforced films and controlled sealing conditions protect product shape and presentation.
Advanced flexible packaging for the sweets industry
Sugar confectionery products vary widely in shape, texture and surface properties. Hard candies, gummies, chewing gum and toffees can be fragile, sticky or dusty, creating challenges in product handling and sealing reliability. Packaging must prevent sticking, preserve product appearance and maintain freshness while supporting very high production speeds.
PFM packaging technologies address these challenges through dedicated flow wrapping systems, gentle feeding solutions and precision portioning technologies. Advanced sealing systems and compatible films ensure stable production and consistent packaging quality across a wide range of confectionery applications.
Gentle Handling for Fragile Products
Optimized feeding systems and controlled product transfer minimize breakage and preserve the structure of delicate snacks such as chips, crackers and puffed products.
Precision Weighing for Irregular Shapes
MBP multihead weighers ensure accurate dosing even with products that vary in size, density and shape, preventing channel clogging and improving production stability.
Flexible Packaging Formats
PFM solutions produce pillow packs, gusseted bags and stand up pouches with resealable options adapted to single serve and on the go consumption.
High Speed Production and Fast Changeovers
Servo controlled systems enable rapid recipe and format changes while maintaining stable high speed packaging performance.
