Candy Manufacturer
Situation:
Candy dispensers may seem like a simple concept, yet in reality, these everyday
machines have demanding requirements. The design must be precise to control
humidity and reduce spoilage. The materials and construction need to
ensure sanitation. The machines must evenly and consistently dispense, with
every transaction.
A major candy manufacturer needed a design for a display that would sanitarily dispense
candies, one at a time, without jams or broken pieces. Their concern was poorly
designed displays that would cause candy pieces to chunk-up and jam the
machine.
Solution:
Custom Model Works created a prototype dispenser that met the
aesthetic, functional and sanitary needs of the manufacturer. We used 100%
Acrylic, an excellent material for food items. The optically clear design
allowed for unhindered viewing of the confections. To prevent jamming, we
designed a feed frame to break up chunks of candy and allow for even, consistent
dispensing.
