Our Process

From First Call to a Running Pet Food Line

A 30-minute call

About what is already running on your floor. We listen before we recommend anything.

A free on-site visit

Anywhere in North America when a visit is worth the trip. We watch your current line run, measure the space, and ask where the catalog is heading.

Factory acceptance testing

On your real product before the machine ships, so a treat that bridges in a hopper shows up on our floor instead of yours.
No pet food packaging equipment gets ordered until you approve the plan.

Frequently

Asked

Questions

Everything you need to know before automating your packaging line.

What packaging equipment does PLAN IT Packaging offer for confectionery manufacturers?

PLAN IT Packaging provides automated packaging equipment for confectionery products including gummies, candies, chocolates, and other small or delicate products. Depending on the application, solutions can include multihead weighers, counting and filling systems, VFFS packaging machines, flow wrappers, inspection systems, case packing, and palletizing. Equipment can be configured around the product's size, shape, weight, texture, and packaging format.

Can PLAN IT Packaging integrate a complete confectionery packaging line?

Yes. PLAN IT Packaging can integrate multiple confectionery packaging processes into a complete automated line. Depending on the product, a system may include product feeding, weighing or counting, VFFS or flow wrapping, inspection, case forming, robotic case packing, and palletizing. Integrating these processes can reduce manual handling between production stages and support a more consistent packaging workflow. PLAN IT considers product characteristics, package format, line speed, changeover frequency, floor space, and production goals when developing an integrated confectionery packaging solution.

How does PLAN IT Packaging approach delicate or sticky confectionery products?

Confectionery products can be delicate, sticky, irregularly shaped, or prone to clumping, making product handling and packaging consistency important. PLAN IT evaluates the product, packaging format, production speed, and changeover requirements to develop an application-specific solution. For example, Ganong Bros. increased packaging output by 2.5x after implementing four high-speed packaging lines with PLAN IT. Learn more about the Ganong Bros. case study.

What service and support does PLAN IT Packaging provide for confectionery packaging equipment?

Consistent equipment performance is important for confectionery manufacturers managing high production volumes and frequent SKU changes. PLAN IT Packaging provides technical support, preventative maintenance, and spare parts to help manufacturers maintain packaging equipment and minimize avoidable downtime. Planned maintenance can help address wear and service requirements before they affect production, while access to critical spare parts can support faster repairs. PLAN IT provides North American support to help manufacturers maintain equipment reliability throughout the life of their packaging systems. Lear more here.
