Client Profile and Challenges
Located in the bustling industrial hub of Busan, this South Korean candy factory specialized in producing a variety of gummy treats for domestic and export markets. Prior to partnering with YTjellycandymachine, the facility relied on semi-automatic equipment that limited daily output to 2,000 kilograms of gummies. Labor-intensive processes led to inconsistencies in product quality, frequent downtime averaging 4 hours per shift, and operational costs exceeding 25% of revenue. Scaling production to meet rising demand was a persistent challenge, prompting the search for a reliable, automated solution.
After evaluating multiple options, the client selected YTjellycandymachine due to its reputation for precision-engineered machinery tailored for starch-molded confectionery lines. This decision initiated a seamless procurement journey that underscored YTjellycandymachine’s commitment to customer success.
Procurement and Implementation Process
From initial inquiry to full commissioning, YTjellycandymachine provided comprehensive support that minimized disruptions. The procurement phase involved detailed virtual consultations and on-site assessments to customize the Fully Automatic Starch Mogul Line to the client’s specifications, including capacity for 10,000 kilograms per day and compatibility with diverse gummy recipes.
Installation was completed within 14 days, followed by an intensive training program. YTjellycandymachine’s team delivered hands-on sessions for 20 operators and 5 engineers, covering machine operation, recipe optimization, and basic troubleshooting. This ensured a smooth transition, with production resuming at 85% capacity on day one post-installation.
To further enhance reliability, YTjellycandymachine offered the following key services:
- On-site training programs lasting 5 full days, including certification for operators.
- Remote guidance via a dedicated 24/7 hotline for real-time assistance.
- Comprehensive maintenance kits and scheduled quarterly check-ups for the first year.
- After-sales warranty covering parts and labor for 24 months, with rapid response times under 48 hours.
These services fostered a collaborative environment, building trust and enabling the client to focus on innovation rather than operational hurdles.
Quantifiable Benefits and Performance Metrics
Six months after implementation, the results were transformative. The Fully Automatic Starch Mogul Line boosted overall production efficiency by 450%, surging from 2,000 to 11,000 kilograms daily. Downtime plummeted by 95%, from 4 hours to just 12 minutes per shift. Product defect rates dropped from 8% to under 0.5%, ensuring consistent quality that opened doors to premium retail partnerships.
Financial gains were equally impressive. Labor costs decreased by 60%, as the automation reduced the workforce needs from 30 to 12 operators per shift. Annual revenue increased by 320%, climbing from $1.2 million to $5.04 million, driven by higher output and expanded market reach. Return on investment was achieved in just 8 months, far surpassing initial projections.

These metrics highlight how YTjellycandymachine’s technology not only addressed immediate pain points but also created long-term value.
YTjellycandymachine’s Ongoing Support
Beyond installation, YTjellycandymachine’s after-sales service proved invaluable. When a minor starch deposition issue arose in month three, technicians arrived within 36 hours, resolving it without halting production. Quarterly performance audits provided actionable insights, leading to further recipe tweaks that enhanced gummy texture and shelf life by 20%. This proactive approach has positioned the client for future expansions, including a second line currently under discussion.
Transitioning to broader market dynamics, the success in South Korea reflects growing opportunities in the gummy candy sector.
