Friday, 06/13/2025

The article highlights five key weighing challenges in candy manufacturing and demonstrates how Guangdong Kenwei’s cutting-edge multihead weighers offer precise, intelligent solutions to enhance efficiency, minimize waste, and keep up with growing market demands.

The Booming Global Candy Market Demands Smarter Solutions

The global candy market is undergoing rapid expansion, with projections indicating it will surpass $270 billion by 2024. In China alone, the market is expected to exceed ¥150 billion, creating significant opportunities for manufacturers worldwide.

To capitalize on this sweet surge, candy producers must overcome a number of production hurdles—particularly in the weighing and packaging process, where precision, efficiency, and reliability are critical.

At Guangdong Kenwei, we bring over 20 years of expertise in combination weigher technology, and we understand that accurate weighing is the cornerstone of successful candy manufacturing. It directly influences:

  • Cost control and material efficiency

  • Compliance with packaging regulations

  • Consistent product quality

  • Customer satisfaction


5 Critical Weighing Challenges in Candy Production

1. The Sticky Situation

Sticky candies such as gummies and marshmallows often cling to equipment surfaces, leading to:

  • Inaccurate weight measurements

  • Frequent machine jams

  • Risk of cross-contamination

  • Increased cleaning time and production downtime

2. Precision and Compliance

Candy packaging is subject to strict weight regulations. Traditional weighing systems often lack the precision needed, resulting in:

  • Underweight or overweight packages

  • Regulatory non-compliance

  • Brand reputation damage

  • Financial losses due to customer complaints

3. The Mixing Conundrum

Assorted candy packaging presents unique challenges:

  • Uneven distribution of flavors or shapes

  • Inconsistent visual appeal

  • Poor consumer experience

  • Negative brand perception

4. Fragility Factors

Delicate confections such as chocolate or hard candy are vulnerable to:

  • Surface damage during handling

  • Broken or crushed pieces affecting appearance

  • Increased waste and reduced yield

  • Higher production costs

5. The Speed Bottleneck

During peak seasons, slow weighing processes can result in:

  • Limited production capacity

  • Missed sales opportunities

  • Inability to meet market demand
