SW-1200: Three Servo High Speed Candy Pillow Packing Machine
The SW-1200 is a high speed horizontal form-fill-seal machine engineered specifically for individual candy wrapping. Unlike general-purpose pillow pouch packing machines that rely on manual product placement, the SW-1200 integrates an 840 mm diameter rotary candy sorting tray that automatically aligns and feeds individual candies into the wrapping station — no operator hand-placement required. The machine wraps each piece in a pillow pouch at speeds from 50 to 1,200 pieces per minute, making it the fastest single-unit wrapper in the ShengWei pillow packing range.
Three independent servo motors are the defining feature: one controls film pulling, one controls film feeding, and one drives the rotary end seal cutter. This three-servo architecture allows each axis to be tuned independently via the HMI — so the film tension, feed rate, and cutting timing can be optimised for different candy sizes and film types without mechanical linkage compromises. The result is more consistent seal quality and less film waste at high speed compared to single-servo or belt-driven machines.
The machine handles disc-shaped, ball-shaped, oval, cylindrical, and waist-shaped candies — including gummy bears, hard-boiled sweets, toffee, chocolate pieces, caramel, and jelly candy. Standard equipment includes a CPU control system, three PID temperature controllers (horizontal pre-seal, horizontal seal, and vertical seal), photoelectric colour-mark tracking, and a stainless steel finished product conveyor. Film compatibility covers OPP, CPP, PET, aluminium-plated film, aluminium-plastic laminate, and wax paper.

The SW-1200 wraps individual small items only — it is not designed for multi-piece bags, powder, or liquid products. For multi-piece bags of candy or granules, see the collar type packing machine family — including the multi-head weigher model (SW-420A). For premade stand-up pouches, see the premade bag packing machine family.
Output Bag Type: Twist-Wrap & Pillow Pouch
The SW-1200 produces individually wrapped pillow pouches from rollstock film. Each candy is enclosed in a single-portion pouch with end seals and a back seal, formed directly on the machine. Bag length is adjustable from 48 mm to 95 mm via the HMI — short enough for a single gummy bear, long enough for a wrapped toffee bar.

Note: This machine produces single-piece pillow pouches only. For multi-piece stand-up pouches or zipper bags, see the SW-D premade bag granule machine.
How the High Speed Candy Wrapping Cycle Works
The entire wrapping cycle — from candy entry on the sorting tray to sealed pillow pouch discharge — runs continuously at up to 1,200 pieces per minute. All four stages operate simultaneously, with the three servo motors synchronised by the CPU controller.
1. Feeding by Sorting Tray
2. Automatic Roll Film Packing
3. Cutter Sealing
4. Finished Product
01
Candy Feeding by Sorting Tray
Bulk candy is loaded into the vibration feeder hopper, which delivers a steady stream of individual pieces onto the 840 mm diameter rotary sorting tray. The tray has custom-machined mold cavities that accept one candy each. As the tray rotates, four brush groups sweep excess candy back to the hopper and ensure every cavity holds exactly one piece. Brush type — scrubbing, soft, or silicone — is selected based on candy hardness and surface sensitivity.
02
Automatic Film Forming & Back Seal
Rollstock film unwinds from the rear-mounted film roll and passes through the servo-driven film feed system. A high speed photoelectric colour-mark sensor detects the print registration mark on each bag pitch, and the servo adjusts film advance in real time to maintain accurate graphics positioning. The film wraps around each candy at the forming shoulder, and a heated fin seal wheel creates the continuous back seal along the underside of the film tube.
03
Three-Stage Sealing
Unlike single-seal machines, the SW-1200 uses a three-stage heat seal system managed by three independent PID temperature controllers: horizontal pre-seal (initial pressure + moderate heat), horizontal seal heating (full seal temperature for bond strength), and vertical seal (back seal reinforcement). This staged approach prevents film burn-through on thin OPP at high speed while ensuring complete seal integrity on thicker aluminium laminates.
04
Rotary Cutting & Discharge
A servo-driven rotary cutter separates each finished pillow pouch from the film tube. The third servo motor controls cutter speed independently — allowing the cut timing to be fine-tuned without affecting film feed or pull tension. Wrapped candy discharges onto a stainless steel finished product conveyor for downstream quality inspection, metal detection, or carton packing.

Four Core Mechanisms That Enable 1,200 pcs/min
The SW-1200 achieves its speed through four interconnected mechanical systems — each purpose-built for high speed candy wrapping. Understanding these mechanisms helps you specify the right tray mold, brush type, and film parameters for your product.
① 840 mm Rotary Candy Sorting Tray
A large-diameter stainless steel tray with custom-machined mold cavities rotates continuously, receiving candy from the vibration feeder. Four brush groups (scrubbing, soft, or silicone — selected per candy type) sweep excess pieces back into the hopper and ensure one candy per cavity. The mold is manufactured to match your specific candy shape — disc, ball, oval, cylinder, or waist — and can be swapped in under 10 minutes when switching products.
② Three Independent Servo Motors
Film pull, film feed, and rotary cutter each have their own servo motor, controlled independently by the CPU. This eliminates the mechanical linkage that limits speed in single-servo machines. Each axis can be fine-tuned on the HMI — adjusting film tension without affecting cut timing, or changing cutter speed without shifting print registration. The three-servo architecture is the primary reason the SW-1200 maintains seal quality at speeds above 800 pcs/min where single-servo machines begin to degrade.
③ High Speed Photoelectric Colour-Mark Tracking
A high speed photoelectric sensor reads the colour mark on each bag pitch in real time and adjusts the servo film pull within the same cycle. At 1,200 pcs/min the film advances more than 20 times per second — the sensor response time is fast enough to correct registration errors before they propagate to the next bag. This is critical for printed films with brand graphics, batch codes, or regulatory marks that must align with the seal position.
④ Rotating Constant-Temperature End Seal
The rotary end seal jaws operate at constant temperature rather than cycling heat between bags. Combined with the three-stage PID system (pre-seal + seal + vertical seal), this ensures the first bag has the same seal strength as the millionth. The embossing pattern is standard; custom seal patterns and tooling for twist-wrap or fold-wrap are available on request for specific candy applications.

SW-1200 vs General-Purpose Pillow Packing Machine — Which Do You Need?
Both machine types produce pillow pouches, but they serve very different production scenarios. The SW-1200 is a dedicated high speed single-piece candy wrapper; the SW-350A is a versatile general-purpose flow wrapper.
Choose SW-1200 (High Speed Candy) When:
- You wrap individual candy pieces — gummy, hard candy, toffee, chocolate, caramel
- You need speeds above 500 pieces per minute on a sustained basis
- You want automatic feeding — no manual product placement by operators
- Your products are small (bag length 48–95 mm) and uniform in shape
- You run single-SKU high volume candy production lines
Choose SW-350A (General Purpose) When:
- Your products are larger — biscuits, bread, soap, medicine blisters, industrial parts
- You need product length range up to 500 mm
- You run multiple product types with frequent SKU changes
- Manual or robot-assisted product placement suits your production volume
- Speed requirements are under 200 bags per minute
When This Machine Is Not the Right Fit
The SW-1200 wraps individual small candy and confectionery pieces only. For multi-piece bags of candy or granules, use the collar type packing machine family — including the multi-head weigher model (SW-420A) and the measure cups model (SW-320D/420D). For larger solid products like bread or soap, use the SW-350A multifunctional pillow packing machine or the SW-350B film beneath feeding model. For premade pouches, use the premade bag packing machine family — including the granule model (SW-D200) and powder model (SW-L200).

What Our Clients Say
We installed the SW-1200 for individually wrapping our gummy vitamin products. The three-servo system is noticeably more stable than the single-servo machine we replaced — we run at 900 pieces per minute on OPP/CPP film and the print registration has been accurate from day one. The custom silicone brush was the right call for our soft gummy — no product damage. The remote support team walked us through the sealing temperature setup on WhatsApp during commissioning.
Ibrahim A.
Production Manager — Confectionery & Vitamin Gummy Factory, UAE
We use the SW-1200 for hard candy wrapping on a two-shift schedule. The 840 mm sorting tray handles our disc-shaped candy perfectly — one operator loads the hopper every 15 minutes and the machine runs itself. We replaced three operators and a manual wrapping station. The tray mold change takes about 8 minutes, which lets us switch between our round and oval candy shapes without losing a full shift.
