Double Twist Packing Machine for Candy/Chocolate/Nougat

Product Overview


The Junyao JY-LS800 is an advanced full-servo double twist wrapping machine that represents the pinnacle of twist-wrap packaging technology for confectionery products. Engineered and manufactured at Xingjunyao's 13,000 m² production facility in Taizhou, Zhejiang, this machine delivers a fundamentally different packaging format from the company's flow wrapping and pillow packing machines. Double twist wrapping — where the packaging film is gathered and twisted at both ends of the product — creates a distinctive, premium presentation that is particularly valued for individually wrapped candies, chocolates, and nougat pieces in markets ranging from Southeast Asia and the Middle East to Eastern Europe and South America.

The JY-LS800 represents the largest and most complex machine in Junyao's product line. At 6,348 × 1,638 × 1,600 mm and weighing 2,800 kg, it is a substantial production asset designed for high-volume confectionery manufacturers. The machine's full servo architecture provides independent control over every motion axis — film feeding, inner wrap forming, outer wrap forming, twist actuators at both ends, product infeed, and the product inspection system — enabling precise synchronization that achieves a 100% packaging rate under normal operating conditions. This means that every product fed into the machine is successfully wrapped, with zero unwrapped product exiting the discharge. This level of reliability is essential for manufacturers whose business model depends on selling individually wrapped units by count rather than by weight, where each missed wrap represents direct revenue loss.

A defining feature of the JY-LS800 is its dual-film capability — the machine can simultaneously apply an inner wrap (typically a thin, food-grade wax paper or aluminum foil laminate for product protection) and an outer wrap (a printed film or decorative foil for branding and presentation). Both films are fed, cut, formed, and twisted independently, with their respective servo axes synchronized to ensure that inner and outer twist closures align perfectly. This inner-outer film system provides superior product protection compared to single-film twist wrapping, creating a barrier against moisture, oxygen, and handling damage while presenting a premium branded exterior. The package size range of 12–42 mm in length, 15–30 mm in width, and 6–25 mm in height covers the vast majority of individually wrapped confectionery products on the global market.

Key Features


1. Full Servo Multi-Axis Control System

The JY-LS800 deploys a comprehensive full servo architecture that governs every mechanical function independently. The system includes dedicated servo motors for: inner film feed and cutting, outer film feed and cutting, product infeed timing, inner wrap forming and twist, outer wrap forming and twist, and the product inspection and rejection system. Each servo axis operates with positioning accuracy of ±0.2 mm and can be individually tuned for speed, acceleration, and torque to optimize performance for specific product characteristics. Unlike mechanically cam-driven twist wrapping machines — where film timing, twist tension, and product positioning are interlocked through physical linkages and must be mechanically adjusted for each product changeover — the JY-LS800 achieves all parameter changes through the HMI. A complete product changeover between different candy sizes, shapes, and film types is accomplished in 20 to 30 minutes, compared to 2 to 4 hours for cam-driven alternatives.

2. Dual-Film Inner and Outer Wrap System

The dual-film wrapping system is the JY-LS800's most technically sophisticated feature. Two independent film paths — one for the inner wrap and one for the outer wrap — are serviced by separate film roll carriages, tension control systems, and cutting stations. The inner wrap is typically a thin (15–25 micron) wax paper or aluminum foil laminate that is applied directly to the product surface, providing a food-contact-safe barrier. The outer wrap is typically a 20–35 micron printed BOPP or metallized film that provides the branded presentation. Both wraps are gathered and twisted at the product ends simultaneously, with the inner twist nestling inside the outer twist to create a clean, professional finish. The twist tightness — which determines both package appearance and seal effectiveness — is independently adjustable for each film layer through the HMI, allowing operators to balance visual presentation against material cost (tighter twists consume more film length per package).

3. Product Inspection and Auto-Reject System

The integrated product inspection system operates at full production speed, evaluating every product before it enters the wrapping station. High-resolution optical sensors check for product presence, dimensional conformance against recipe parameters, and surface defects including cracks, chips, and discoloration. Products that fail inspection are diverted via a high-speed pneumatic gate before reaching the wrapping station, ensuring that only conforming product is wrapped. Additionally, the wrapping process itself is monitored: sensors verify that both inner and outer films are present and correctly positioned, that twist actuators have completed their cycle, and that the finished wrapped product has exited the machine. Any wrapping failure — a missed film, an incomplete twist, a jam — is detected within a single machine cycle, and the affected wrapping station is automatically paused while the others continue operating. This station-level fault isolation is a key contributor to the machine's 100% packaging rate under normal conditions.

4. High-Capacity Feeding and Distribution System

The JY-LS800's size — over 6.3 meters in length — accommodates a sophisticated product feeding and distribution system. Products are loaded into a large-capacity hopper at the machine's input end and are individually singulated and oriented by a series of vibratory tracks and rotary feeders. The distribution system delivers product to multiple wrapping stations arranged in parallel, multiplying throughput without requiring multiple independent machines. The system handles products with dimensions from 12 to 42 mm in length, 15 to 30 mm in width, and 6 to 25 mm in height — a range that covers the most common individually wrapped candy, chocolate, and nougat formats. Feed rate to each wrapping station is independently controllable through the HMI, allowing operators to balance the production load across stations and compensate for any station taken offline for maintenance or fault recovery.

5. Twist Tension and Appearance Control

The quality of a double twist wrap — its visual appeal and functional integrity — depends critically on the consistency of twist tension applied to both film ends. Too little tension produces loose, unraveling twists that fail to seal the product. Too much tension tears the film or creates an unattractive, overly compressed appearance. The JY-LS800's servo-controlled twist actuators apply precisely calibrated torque to each twist, with tension values stored in the product recipe and maintained consistently across hundreds of thousands of wrapping cycles. The twist actuators incorporate a feedback loop that monitors the twist resistance during each cycle and adjusts the applied torque to compensate for film batch variations, ambient humidity changes that affect film pliability, and gradual wear on the twisting fingers. This adaptive control is unique to the JY-LS800's servo architecture and cannot be replicated by purely mechanical twist systems.

6. Robust Industrial Construction for Continuous Production

At 2,800 kg, the JY-LS800 is built for the demands of round-the-clock confectionery production. The main frame is fabricated from heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel with a reinforced base that dampens vibration across the machine's full 6.3-meter length. All drive components — bearings, gears, belts, and actuators — are sized for a service life exceeding 20,000 operating hours under normal load conditions. The electrical system is housed in IP54-rated enclosures with forced-air cooling for the servo drives, which generate significant heat during sustained high-speed operation. The machine draws 8.5 KW at full production speed, with power distributed across the multiple servo axes, heating elements for temperature-controlled film handling (where required), and auxiliary systems. Despite its size and power, the JY-LS800 operates within 75 dBA at the operator position, meeting occupational noise exposure standards for continuous-shift operation.

Applications


The JY-LS800 serves the specific market segment where double twist wrapping is the expected or preferred packaging format. This includes traditional confectionery markets, premium product categories, and applications where the packaging format itself is part of the product's identity and consumer experience.

Individually Wrapped Candies: The classic application for double twist wrapping is individually wrapped hard candies, fruit drops, and boiled sweets — the iconic twisted-wrapper format familiar to consumers worldwide. The JY-LS800 produces these at 50 to 400 pieces per minute with consistent twist quality that maintains product freshness and provides the satisfying unwrapping experience that consumers expect. The dual-film system allows manufacturers to use a protective inner wrap (wax paper or foil) combined with a branded outer wrap, creating a premium presentation that supports higher retail pricing.

Chocolate Products: Individually wrapped chocolate pieces — truffles, pralines, chocolate-covered nuts and fruits, and chocolate squares — benefit from the double twist format's protective characteristics and premium appearance. The JY-LS800's inner foil wrap provides an effective moisture and oxygen barrier that extends chocolate shelf life, while the twist format avoids the heat exposure associated with flow wrap sealing — a significant advantage for temperature-sensitive chocolate products. The product inspection system is particularly valuable for premium chocolate applications where surface defects (bloom, scuffing, transfer marks) would be unacceptable in a luxury product presentation.

Nougat and Soft Confectionery: Nougat — whether the soft, chewy European style or the firmer, nut-studded Middle Eastern and Asian varieties — is inherently sticky and challenging to package. Double twist wrapping is the traditional and preferred format for nougat because the twist closures at each end minimize film-to-product contact area, reducing the risk of the film adhering to the sticky product surface. The JY-LS800's servo-controlled twist tension is particularly important for nougat applications, as excessive tension can compress soft nougat and cause oil separation, while insufficient tension produces loose wraps that allow air ingress and product drying.

Specialty and Seasonal Products: The double twist format is strongly associated with seasonal and gift confectionery — wedding favors, holiday candy assortments, festival sweets, and promotional items where packaging presentation directly influences consumer purchase decisions. The JY-LS800's quick product changeover capability (20–30 minutes versus 2–4 hours for mechanical machines) is a significant operational advantage for seasonal manufacturers who may run dozens of different product and film combinations during peak production periods.

Manufacturing and Quality Assurance


The JY-LS800 is manufactured under Xingjunyao's most rigorous quality protocol, befitting its status as the company's flagship high-complexity machine. The extended assembly process includes laser alignment of all servo axes to a common reference plane, ensuring that the multiple wrapping stations spaced along the 6.3-meter frame length operate in precise mechanical synchronization. Each servo motor undergoes dynamometer testing before installation, and the complete drive system is tested under load using a simulated production cycle before any product-contact components are installed. The twist actuators — the most mechanically demanding components in the system — undergo a 100,000-cycle endurance test during commissioning to verify consistent torque output and mechanical integrity.

The factory acceptance test for the JY-LS800 is the most extensive in Junyao's product range. The machine runs continuously for a minimum of 8 hours — a full production shift — with actual customer product or an approved substitute. During this test, the packaging rate (percentage of product fed that is successfully wrapped) is measured and must achieve 100% with zero unwrapped product exiting the machine. Twist quality is evaluated on a statistical sample of wrapped products taken at 30-minute intervals, with acceptance criteria for twist tightness (measured by a torque-to-untwist test), visual appearance (no film tearing, consistent twist symmetry), and seal integrity (verified by dye penetration test for inner wrap protection). A complete quality dossier including all test data, calibration certificates, and the CE declaration of conformity is delivered with each machine.

Frequently Asked Questions


Q: What is the difference between single-film and dual-film double twist wrapping?
Single-film double twist wrapping uses one layer of film — typically a printed BOPP or wax paper — that serves both as product protection and brand presentation. Dual-film wrapping, as performed by the JY-LS800, uses two separate film layers: an inner wrap (typically wax paper or aluminum foil laminate) that provides a food-contact-safe moisture and oxygen barrier, and an outer wrap (typically printed BOPP or metallized film) that provides the branded visual presentation. The dual-film approach offers superior product protection — particularly moisture barrier performance with foil inner wraps — and a higher-quality appearance, as the inner wrap's functional characteristics do not constrain the outer wrap's print quality or finish. The JY-LS800 can also be operated in single-film mode when dual-film wrapping is not required.

Q: How does the 100% packaging rate guarantee work in practice?
The 100% packaging rate is an inherent capability of the JY-LS800's design, not an externally imposed guarantee. It is achieved through the combination of product inspection before wrapping (rejecting defective or misaligned product that would cause wrapping failures), station-level fault isolation (a fault at one wrapping station pauses only that station while others continue), and the full servo architecture that prevents the cumulative timing drift responsible for missed wraps in mechanically timed machines. Under normal operating conditions — correctly configured for the product, using specified film materials, and operated within rated speed — every product that passes inspection and is delivered to a wrapping station is successfully wrapped. Customers confirm this performance during the factory acceptance test. Junyao provides on-site commissioning support to ensure the same performance level is achieved in the customer's production environment.

Q: What infrastructure is required to install the JY-LS800?
The JY-LS800 requires a level concrete floor capable of supporting its 2,800 kg weight plus operator access space around the machine's full 6.3-meter length. Recommended minimum floor space allocation is 9.0 × 4.0 meters to provide clearance for operation, maintenance access, and film roll loading. Electrical supply of 380V 3-phase 50Hz (or customer-specified voltage and frequency) rated at 15 KVA minimum is required. Compressed air supply at 6 bar, clean and dry, is needed for the pneumatic inspection reject system — consumption is approximately 0.3 cubic meters per minute at normal operating speed. No special foundation or vibration isolation is required beyond a standard industrial floor. Junyao provides detailed installation drawings and site preparation requirements during the order process, and the installation and commissioning service includes verification that all site conditions meet machine requirements before startup.

Q: How often do the twist fingers need to be replaced?
The twist fingers — the components that physically gather and rotate the film ends — are wear items with a service life that depends on operating speed, film type, and product characteristics. Under typical conditions running standard BOPP outer film at 300 PPM, twist fingers provide approximately 1,500 to 2,000 operating hours before replacement is indicated. Signs of twist finger wear include reduced twist consistency (detectable as increased variation in the torque feedback signal on the HMI), visible surface grooving on the finger contact faces, and occasional film tearing at the twist point. Twist fingers are designed for quick replacement — approximately 15 minutes per station — and are available as spare parts from Junyao. The machine's HMI includes a twist cycle counter for each station, enabling predictive replacement based on actual usage rather than calendar time.

Q: Can the JY-LS800 wrap products of different sizes simultaneously on different stations?
The JY-LS800 is designed to run a single product configuration across all wrapping stations at any given time. While the servo axes at each station are independently controlled, the product feeding and distribution system delivers a single product type to all stations. Running different products would require different forming tooling, film widths, and twist parameters that cannot be independently configured per station without physical changes. However, the machine's 20–30 minute changeover time makes it practical to run multiple product types sequentially within a single shift, which is the typical production pattern for most confectionery manufacturers. For facilities that require truly simultaneous production of different product types, Junyao can advise on multi-machine line configurations that provide this capability with the operational simplicity of dedicated machines per product type.
