Anbu Town, Chaozhou City, is known as "China's No. 1 Food Town." It is home to hundreds of candy manufacturers and has built a complete candy production and sales chain. Its products are exported to more than 100 countries and regions around the world, and the sweet industry has become an important pillar of the local economy. In the process of industrial expansion, many small and medium-sized candy enterprises have encountered development bottlenecks in downstream packaging. Individually packaged gummy candies, hard candies, and popping candies are piled up in disorder. In the past, manual sorting and aligning of materials not only limited sorting speed and kept labor costs rising, but also easily led to problems such as improper placement and missed packs, restricting production line speed increases and making it difficult to take on large export orders. Hanlee Automation Technology Co., Ltd.'s unordered material sorting machine has been deployed in multiple candy factories in Anbu, using automated technology to solve packaging pain points and empower the transformation and upgrading of the local candy industry.

The shortcomings of the traditional manual material sorting model are becoming increasingly prominent. There are many candy categories, and individual small packaging bags are light and thin, causing materials to stick to one another. Workers need to repeatedly sort and align materials for long periods. A production line often needs multiple employees to organize materials, which not only increases labor expenses but also makes errors likely during long working hours, affecting the stability of cartoning and sealing processes. Faced with the rigid requirements of overseas orders for production capacity and standardized production, it is difficult to continuously and steadily increase output by relying on manual labor. This has become an obstacle for many Anbu food enterprises on the path to expanding production capacity.

Hanlee Automation Technology Co., Ltd.'s unordered material sorting machine brings a completely new solution to candy production lines. The equipment is equipped with multiple servo control systems. After piles of disordered small candy packs are fed into the storage hopper, multi-stage differential-speed rollers gradually disperse the materials, automatically completing separation, posture adjustment, and spacing, and conveying them neatly and orderly to the cartoning machine, with no manual intervention throughout the process. To address the problems of gummy candies sticking easily and thin packaging bags being easily scratched, the equipment's rollers are specially treated to gently handle the materials and reduce packaging damage. The equipment's operating speed can be flexibly adjusted. It can adapt to the regular production capacity of small and medium-sized factories and can also match high-speed production lines, stably completing the material sorting of hundreds of candy packs per minute and greatly improving efficiency in the packaging stage.

After the equipment was put into use, Anbu candy enterprises achieved tangible changes. Enterprises reduced the number of workers in material sorting positions and lowered long-term labor costs. The packaging process became continuous and smooth, the frequency of production line downtime adjustments decreased, and overall production capacity improved, allowing enterprises to comfortably take on larger batches of domestic and international orders. Automated material sorting ensures a uniform placement posture for each candy bag, making product packaging quality more stable and meeting the stringent production standards for exported food. This helps Anbu candy build a reliable product image and expand its overseas markets.

Unordered material sorting machines are driving the Anbu candy industry from a labor-intensive production model toward intelligent production. The deep integration of automated equipment and local specialty industries helps small and medium-sized enterprises fill their automation gaps and consolidates the foundation for the development of the town's food industry. As the industry improves quality and efficiency and market competitiveness continues to strengthen, the town's sweet industry is steadily advancing toward high-quality development, releasing more industrial vitality on the path of advancing the "Hundreds of Counties, Thousands of Towns, and Myriad Villages Project."
