كيف تناسب خطوط آلة عد الصمغ الأماكن الضيقة في هونغ كونغ?

Hong Kong, Asia’s leading financial hub, where housing rent is premium and commercial space is a luxury, candy manufacturers face unique challenges. For Brian Chan, CEO of a thriving gummy production enterprise, the hope of automating his gummy counting machine line was stifled by the stark reality of his Hong Kong workshop. In early October, 2025, his quest for an automatic counting line seemed to have hit an insurmountable wall: limited space.

Spatial Challenges in A Concrete Jungle

السيد. Chan’s primary pain point was the physical constraint of his 68-square-meter gummy candy production workshop. A standard straight-line automatic counting bottling line for gummies stretches over 16 meters—a length that his facility could never accommodate.

In another headache, the very nature of his products posed a tricky technical hurdle. Sticky, gelatin-based gummies are prone to clumping and adhering to surfaces of an automated counting machine, leading to frequent blockage during gummy feeding, conveyance, and discharge.

This combination of spatial limitation and product-specific issues created a complex problem that demanded a bespoke production line solution.

“An automatic counting line is key to scaling our business and maintaining consistent quality,” السيد. Chan explained. “But in a city like Hong Kong where rent is extraordinarily high, dedicating a long straight path for a counting and filling line is not feasible for many small-to-medium enterprises. We need an area-saving solution.”

A Tailored U-Shaped Counting Bottling Line from Jinlu

The breakthrough came on October 22 when automated counting machine specialists of Jinlu Packing presented a tailor-made gummy counting and packaging solution. With a proven track record of counting bottling line designing for space-constrained places in cities like Hong Kong and Singapore, Jinlu Packing proposed a customized layout: a U-shaped gummy counting machine production line.

Instead of the prohibitive 16-meter long gummy counting and bottling straight line, the proposed, customized and area-saving U-shaped configuration measured a compact 7 meters in length and 4 meters in width, perfectly fitting within Mr. Chan’s workshop footprint.

This layout with strong customization capability maximizes every square inch of available space, allowing the entire gummy candy packaging process to be contained within a efficient, modular loop. The design is a testament to Jinlu Packing’s philosophy of adapting food and gummy packaging solutions to clients’ workplace.

Anti-Stickiness Gummy Counter Mechanisms

To solve Mr. Chan’s another problem of stick gummy clogging and equipment downtime, Jinlu Packing provided an innovative solution: DSL 16H automatic gummy counting machine, renowned for its material-blockage-resistant mechanisms and candy gummy counting accuracy of 99.8%.

This fully automatic gummy counter can handle gummies with diameters ranging from 3 to 40mm, and its true innovation lies in a multi-level anti-blockage system specifically designed for counting and bottling sticky candy. This system includes:

• Agitator in the Feed Hopper: A fast-stirring agitator within the feed hopper rapidly disperses gummy clusters at feeding stage, ensuring a smooth loading of individual gummy pieces.

• Air-Cylinder-Driven Singulators: facilitate sequential gummy separation, organizing them to prevent jams and ensure each piece is transferred individually.
• Anti-Stacking DynaGrid Rollers: Ensures gummies flow in a single, uniform layer, preventing gummy stacking, a common cause of gummy counting machine stoppage.

Dual anti-clogging rollers

• VibraSlide Conveyor with Teflon Coating: Featuring a sophisticated 3-stage vibration system, this conveyor keeps separated gummies moving gently yet persistently. The conveyor surface is coated with an anti-adhesion Teflon material, creating a non-stick pathway that eliminating sticky candy clinging.

• Concave-Convex Surface Design: Reducing the contact area between gummies and the conveyor surface, this clever physical design further minimizes the potential for adhesion, guaranteeing a smooth journey from gummy feeding to counting.

According to Jinlu’s manufacturing info, this auto gummy counter is not only suitable for gummy counting, it is also engineered for capsule tablet candy counting.

A Complete Gummy Bear Counting Machine Solution

The DSL 16H gummy candy counting machine mentioned above does not operate in isolation. For automating Mr. Chan’s gummy packaging business in Hong Kong, the DSL 16H stands as the central component of an integrated, automated gummy bottling machine line. This synergistic line includes other critical machines working in harmony:

• Z-type Elevating Feeder: Users can conveniently load gummies from the feeder bottom. Gummies are then elevated by the internal conveyor belt to the discharge port for the next gummy feeding process. The entire elevated gummy loading process is fully enclosed, contamination-free, and leak-proof.

• قensitive Metal Detector: Scans products, such as gelatin capsules, pills tablets, and candy, to detect any tiny metal piece and ensure safety standards.
• حigh-precision Checkweigher: Verifies each bottle contains the exact same weight of gummies. If a bottle is of 0.1g weight deviation, the bottle will be rejected, providing a secondary check for gummy count accuracy.
• Automatic Capping Machine: Can securely applies lids to each bottle.
• أناnduction Sealing Machine: Applies an inner seal to bottles, guaranteeing product freshness and tamper-evidence for end consumers.

This end-to-end automation of a soft candy counter line empowers Mr. Chan’s confectionery company to achieve new levels of consistency and brand presentation. علاوة على ذلك, Jinlu Packing can offer pharmaceutical packaging lines in L shapes, oval shapes, and other specific layouts including cross-floor production lines, responding to different user requirements.

For business professionals like Brian Chan in high-density urban centers, the message is clear: spatial limit is no longer a barrier to counting machine line automation and business growth. Through solution design with customization capability, space-saving layouts, and client-based service, companies can now deploy tailored production lines that turn small and narrow workshops into models of modern manufacturing centers.
