Client Challenges Prior to Adoption
The Japanese client, a mid-sized confectionery factory specializing in gourmet candies and cookies, faced significant hurdles in their depositing process. Manual deposition methods were labor-intensive, resulting in inconsistent product quality and high waste rates of up to 15%. Production speeds averaged only 200 units per hour, limiting output during peak seasons. Inconsistent temperatures and viscosities led to frequent batch rejections, costing the factory approximately $50,000 annually in lost materials and rework. Scaling operations to meet growing domestic demand was impossible without investing in reliable automation.
Recognizing these pain points, the client sought a compact, tabletop solution that could integrate seamlessly into their existing production line without requiring extensive factory modifications. After evaluating multiple options, they selected YTjellycandymachine’s Table-Top Confectionery Depositor for its precision engineering, ease of use, and proven track record in similar applications.

Delivery was expedited within three weeks, minimizing downtime.
Upon arrival, YTjellycandymachine’s technical experts conducted on-site installation, calibrating the depositor for optimal performance with the client’s specific confectionery formulations. Comprehensive training sessions were held for the factory staff, covering operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. These hands-on workshops, lasting two full days, empowered the team to achieve proficiency quickly.
