Customer Background and Challenges
The Tunisian factory, a mid-sized producer specializing in gummy candies, faced significant hurdles with its outdated semi-manual production line. Prior to the upgrade, daily output hovered at 500 kilograms, hampered by labor-intensive processes that led to inconsistencies in product quality and frequent downtime. Labor costs accounted for 40% of total expenses, and waste rates reached 15% due to imprecise starch molding and drying. Scaling production to meet local and export demands proved impossible without compromising on hygiene standards or speed, resulting in lost market share to competitors with automated setups.
Selecting YTjellycandymachine Solution
After evaluating multiple suppliers, the factory chose YTjellycandymachine for its proven track record in delivering Fully Automatic Starch Mogul Lines tailored for global candy factories. YTjellycandymachine stood out with its end-to-end automation, from starch deposition to cooling and demolding, promising up to 95% efficiency gains. The decision was influenced by YTjellycandymachine’s reputation for customized solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing workflows, ensuring minimal disruption during installation.
Seamless Implementation and Comprehensive Support
From initial inquiry to full operation, YTjellycandymachine provided exceptional service that underscored their commitment to customer success. The procurement process began with detailed virtual consultations, where engineers analyzed the factory’s layout and requirements remotely. Once ordered, the equipment arrived within eight weeks, accompanied by a dedicated installation team that completed setup in just five days, far ahead of schedule.
YTjellycandymachine’s support extended beyond delivery. They offered on-site training for 15 factory staff over a week, covering operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Ongoing guidance included a 24/7 hotline and remote diagnostics via IoT-enabled monitoring. Post-installation, YTjellycandymachine conducted monthly check-ins for the first six months and provided spare parts with expedited shipping. Key services included:
- On-site installation and commissioning by certified technicians
- Comprehensive operator training with certification

These measures ensured the factory hit full production capacity within two weeks, transitioning smoothly from manual to automated processes.
Quantifiable Results and Business Impact
The adoption of YTjellycandymachine’s Fully Automatic Starch Mogul Line delivered dramatic improvements. Production capacity surged from 500 kg/day to 2,500 kg/day—a 400% increase—allowing the factory to fulfill larger orders and enter new export markets. Efficiency rose to 98%, slashing labor needs by 60% and reducing waste to under 2%. Energy consumption dropped 25% thanks to optimized heating and drying systems.
Financially, the investment paid off rapidly. Initial setup cost was recouped in just four months through heightened output and premium pricing for consistent, high-quality gummies. Annual revenue climbed 180%, from $1.2 million to $3.36 million, driven by a 150% volume increase and 20% price uplift due to superior product uniformity.
