Multi-Lane Electronic Counting VFFS Machines for Exact-Count Candy & Gummies

Specify optical electronic counting VFFS machines (10–60 BPM, 80–320 mm film) when supplement gummies, lozenges, or multipacks require exact piece counts.

When Exact Piece Count Beats Gravimetric Weighing

Whenever your front-of-pack label promises ‘10 Vitamin Gummies’ or ‘30 Throat Lozenges’ rather than net grams, gravimetric scales risk a 9-piece bag whenever two pieces run slightly heavy. Within VFFS candy bagging machines and candy packaging machines, multi-lane electronic counting VFFS frames such as the TL-VP-300V singulate pieces down vibratory channels and verify every single drop optically.

Compact counting VFFS units run 10–60 bags/min on 80–320 mm film webs (bag length 60–350 mm, 2.0 kW single-phase 220V, 1,100 × 800 × 2,150 mm, 450 kg).

Throughput comparison across rotary zipper pouch, electronic counting, lollipop groove, and 14/20-head candy VFFS machines
Match machine architecture to whether your retail pack sells by reclosable pouch presentation, exact piece count, or high-speed pillow bagging.

Counting VFFS vs 10-Head Weigher VFFS Comparison

Pick between optical counting and combination weighing based on label declaration and pack count:

Parameter Multi-Lane Counting VFFS (300V Class) 10-Head Weigher VFFS (200PH Class)
Measurement Principle Infrared/optical single-piece channel count 10 radial load cells (1,023 weight combinations)
Ideal Target Pack 2 to 60 pieces exact count (gummies, lozenges, mints) 50 g to 1,500 g net-weight retail bags
Film Web & Bag Range 80–320 mm web; L 60–350 mm 200–420 mm web; larger pillow/gusset bags
Published Speed 10–60 bags/min (count dependent) 20–120 bags/min
Footprint & Power 1,100 × 800 × 2,150 mm; 2.0 kW; 450 kg 1,427 × 1,170 × 1,562 mm (+ platform); 4.9 kW

Product giveaway reduction from 5% volumetric overfill down to 0.5% on combinatorial multihead weighers
Cutting average overfill by 3–4 grams per 200 g gummy pouch pays back precision multihead weighing within 12–24 months.

Confectionery Engineering Details

  • Dust-Compensated Optical Sensors: Multi-beam infrared arrays compensate automatically for light starch or sugar dust on gummy surfaces without false double-counts.
  • Pneumatic Pre-Gate Staging: Memory flaps hold the next counted charge directly above the forming collar so piece counting overlaps with film pulling.
  • SUS316 Contact Option: Pharmaceutical-grade SUS316 channels and tool-free trays satisfy cGMP dietary-supplement audits.

Piece Geometry & Count Rate Check

Provide piece length × width × thickness and pieces per sachet/bag so the required channel count (4, 8, 12, or 16 lanes) is sized accurately.

Sugar-sanded gummies, sticky toffees, brittle hard drops, and stick lollipops each require distinct hopper angles and contact coatings.
