A.M.P-Rose 7IST/CT Double Twist Wrapping Machine for Chocolates

The 7IST/CT is designed to wrap a wide variety of chocolate enrobed or moulded pieces in double end twist style. The machine has been developed from the highly successful 7IST and 7IST/L pre-formed sweet wrapping machines, and incorporates many of the features and benefits of its predecessors. The machine is capable of high speeds and efficiencies, due to its sophisticated feeding system but handles the products with care, minimizing product damage. Operator convenience, ease of cleaning and maintenance and safety factors have been incorporated in the design of the machine.

Styles of Wrapping

1. Standard Wrap
Double end fantail twist wrap with a longitudinal seam, unsealed, on the face of the sweet.

2. Sealed Wrap (Coldseal material)
Sealed double end fantail twist wrap with a fin-seal, on the face of the sweet.   Optional 'nick' for easy un-wrapping.

Wrapping Materials
Twist wrapping grades of cellulose film, waxed paper, PVC or cast polypropylene are suitable as an outer wrapper.  The inner wrapper, if required, should be tissue backed aluminium foil.
Sealed wrappers are performed using coldseal materials.

Wrapping Material Size Limits

Sequence of Operations
The products are fed from an automatic chocolate aligner system, which brings the products into a single line for feeding to the belt infeed of the wrapping machine.   Product sensors detect the presence of the products and automatically engage the wrapper feed.  A dipping pusher arrangement is activated, which pushes the products into an open-ended feed disc.  The sweets are transferred into a six-station wrapping wheel together with the required wrapping material.  The double twist wrap is completed in the wrapping wheel and the wrapped products are discharged down an inclined chute and onto a belt discharge conveyor.

Most round, rectangular and square shaped products within the following size limits can be handled:
