Until recently, Orkla used two fairly old packaging machines to wrap chocolate pralines at its plant in Vaajakoski, Finland .
These had reached the limit of their performance, as they could not keep up with the high performance of the chocolate molding line.
The machines were capable of wrapping a third of the products coming off the production line.
Two-thirds were temporarily stored due to insufficient packaging capacity and were only transferred to the packaging process after production had ended.
The above showed the need to urgently improve the process, which is why Orkla decided to increase packaging capacity quickly and efficiently and began replacing its two lower-performance packaging machines with two high-performance MCC packaging machines. Theegarten-Pactec.
Each machine has the capacity to wrap 1,200 products per minute with efficiency and delicacy to wrap the entire production volume of the molding line.
Intermediate storage and delayed packaging thus became history.

Theegarten-Pactec-CHS
The machine can be flexibly adjusted for nine different wrapping types.
CHS: maximum confidence in packaging solutions
The optimized CHS high-performance packaging machine is specifically designed for chocolate products with various types of packaging. It had already been subjected to intense tests at the German headquarters of Theegarten-Pactec, in a development process lasting several years, and had given excellent results.
The CHS high-performance modular packaging machine, specifically developed to wrap chocolate products without damaging them, was installed and commissioned at Orkla in early 2021.
In addition to general functional testing, the machine's two-lane feed, a unique feature of the CHS, was extensively tested.
One of the main challenges was the separation of products from the continuous flow on the main belt towards the two lane feed of the CHS, while ensuring a constant balance between the two lanes.
Each of the two input lanes has to continuously receive 900 products per minute. In the wrapping process, both lanes merge into a single lane flow of 1,800 products per minute.
