Let me shed more light on each one of them below.

 Coin chocolate foil wrapping machine

Coin chocolate foil wrapping machine

Banding: The band material is wrapped around the chocolate and sealed using heat or glue.

The banding material which could either be paper of film should be relatively thick to hold the content well.

The sleeve wrapping: Single or double loose reel pieces of film are used to make a web around the chocolate.

They are shrunk tight when passed through heat.

Polypropylene material of 30 to 120 microns thickness can be used.

Fold wrapping: The fold wrapping technique involves the wrapping of chocolate in aluminum or paper without heat sealing.

This mechanism is ideal when you anticipate that chocolate can be destroyed by heat.

Twist wrapping: This is very simple.

The chocolate wrapper ends are twisted to act as a sealing. Stiff film and cellophane that generate a cracking sound during the unwrapping of chocolate are used.

The foil and band wrapping technique: The chocolate is first wrapped in aluminum foil and then wrapped again in a piece of paper.

Pleat wrapping: In this technique of wrapping, pleats are formed around the chocolate, and labels are used to seal the wrapper. It is ideal for wrapping chocolate or its products that have been made in a circular shape.

Which Stages are involved in the Chocolate Machine Wrapping Process?

There are four main stages involved in the chocolate machine wrapping process.

These include:

The primary stage: This can be done in two categories; single-stage and two-stage.

The primary single stage is where the chocolate is wrapped in either one or two packaging materials in one operation.

It’s sometimes called a mono pack and the machines used are Fold and horizontal flow wrapping machines.

The two-stage primary wrapping is done by making use of two wrapping materials.

The chocolate is passed through two consecutive wrapping steps as multipack or mono-pack.

The fold wrapping device is the ideal machine for this process.

The secondary stage of wrapping: At this stage, chocolate that has already been wrapped is again wrapped with OPP wrapping material, cellophane, and paper wrap.

Both mono and multipacks can be created during this stage.

You can achieve this by using both fold wrapping machine and horizontal flow wrapping equipment.

The tertiary wrapping stage: This is where all the chocolate wrapped in the primary and secondary stages are packed into open and closed cartons.

You can also pack them into trays and other cartons for display and convenient transportation.

A cartooning machine is very relevant at his stage.

The final wrapping stage: This is the last packaging after which the chocolate is dispatched to various locations.

Downstream machines used in the production chain are very useful at this stage.

How does Chocolate Wrapping Machine Work?

For this machine to yield favorable results, the product must go through different steps.

Let me highlight these steps below.

The first step involves the preparation of the chocolate and the wrappers which are the main ingredients.

Ensure the machine is functioning properly.

The chocolate is fed into the machine production line and the wrappers loaded into the wrapper’s hopper.

In the second step, the chocolate is wrapped.

The machine automatically wraps them in the form of foil, polythene, or by folding them in a piece of paper.

The next step is to cut the chocolate wrappers into the desired sizes and shift them to the sealing section.

The fourth step is where the loose ends of the wrapped chocolate are automatically sealed.

This can be done either by laser heat or glue.

After this, the fifth step is to print labels or logos on the chocolate wrappers for identification and decoration.

Manufacture and expiry dates are among the things printed on the wrappers.

The sixth step is to inspect the wrappers to ascertain if they are of the best quality.

If they are good, you can go ahead and automatically package them in cartons for convenient transportation.

This problem comes up when the film is not in the film spindle.

The issue can also occur when the film roll is not properly wound or when it’s loose at the center.

Sometimes, it happens when the belt is not corresponding to the tube.

This challenge can be solved by replacing the wrapping films and aligning the machine belt properly.

· Failure of the Wrapping Film to Properly Track

The problem features when the film roll is not at the spindle center or when the spindle is loose.

Also, failure of the film to be on a proper carriage thread may result in this.

To handle this issue, ensure the film roll is aligned properly at the spindle center.

In addition to these, tighten the spindle and make sure the threading being used by the wrapping film is good.

· Failure of Movement of the Wrapping Film Feed Belt

This occurs when you are checking the tightness of the belt against the tube among others.

To solve it, you have to loosen the belts and make adjustments on the gear-box of the film feed motor.

· The Bag Lengths may become Inconsistent

This problem is due to bad film threading, incorrect adjustment of tension between the film feed-belts, and unclean feed belt.

You can handle this issue by cleaning the film feed belt and adjust the tension.

· The bag may be too Long that the Recommended

The problem can be caused by an incorrect setting of the bag length.

Sometimes when the registration photo-eye is not well set, this issue may come up.

Set the photo-eye registration and ensuring the bag length is set properly to facilitate the solution to this problem.

· Wrapping Films with Creases

This is caused by the worn-out collar and incorrect adjustment of the forming collar and set up roller.

Other causes are when the valves are stuck on the collar, or when the film path roller is contaminated.

To resolve this, the forming collar should be replaced and ensure it is well placed and adjusted.

· Difficulty in the Unwinding of the Film

This is due to the dirty forming film, high co-efficient friction of the film.

It could also happen when the zipper is caught on the collar or there is a belt-high contact pressure.

Cleaning and adjusting the forming belt can solve this problem and if the problem does not go away, replace it.

· Difficulty in Pulling Down the Film through the Forming Tube

The cause of this problem is the dirty form set and high friction on the film coefficient.

Incorrect alignment on the setup and forming collar also contributes to this problem.

The solution to this problem is to clean the forming set and adjust the machine parameters to reduce friction.

You can also align and set the collar to prevent splice tape from sticking.

· Jams of Film at the Forming Tube

This occurs when the seals are hot and stick to the film.

It also happens when there is a film coefficient of high friction and too much pressure on the vertical-seal bands.

Using good machine parameters results in a reduction of too much heat formation and excess friction of the rotating parts.

This is enough to solve this problem.
