Food Product Packaging - Case StudyProduct: Bulk Chocolate CandyProblem: Five (5) pounds of chocolate candy loaded by hand, was a labor intensive operation, requiring 2 stations, 1 station to sort product and the other to weigh and seal 2-3, 5lb. bags/min. After the bagging process, the product would be further packaged 4-5lb. bags into a 20lb. box. This system required 7 people per shift, operating on 2 shifts Solution: Sharp MAX™ with machine options, Weigh Scale and E-Z Feed Conveyor for off loading. Sharp E-Z Bags® Benefits: Increased output is 7-5lb. bags per minute with a reduction from 7 to 2 people on the package line, an overall reduction from 14 to 4 people. The labor and operating cost savings eliminated the need for the second shift. The customer is investigating the Sharp system for another location.
