Lotte Confectionery ramps up production speeds with TNA

South Korea’s top confectionery manufacturer Lotte Confectionery recently partnered with global packaging company TNA to improve its production speeds. To meet current and future demand for chocolates, biscuits, candy, chewing gum, ice cream and snack foods, Lotte Confectionery installed four Robag 2Ci’s and two Robag 3 packaging machines. The result is that both its biscuit and chocolate lines have increased speeds to 80-90 bags/minute. “We wanted a packaging system that was capable of high speeds, had minimal rejects, could pack a wide range of products and bag sizes, and one which would fit into the limited spaced we had,” explains Mr SB Kim, technical managing director, Lotte Confectionery South Korea.
