Automated Bottle Packaging for Gummy Supplements
Gummy supplements are not packaged in the same way as conventional tablets or capsules.
Their size, shape, surface characteristics and product behavior can vary significantly from one formulation to another. A suitable gummy packaging system therefore needs to consider the product before the equipment configuration is finalized.
Vitol's Gummy Bottle Packaging Line is designed for nutraceutical and health supplement manufacturers looking to automate the process from empty bottles to finished labeled gummy products.
The line combines bottle handling, gummy counting and filling, moisture protection, capping, induction sealing and labeling into one coordinated packaging process.
Gummy Bottle Packaging Process
Bottle Unscrambling → Bottle Cleaning → Gummy Counting & Filling → Desiccant Insertion → Capping → Induction Sealing → Labeling
The Gummy Bottle Packaging Line can be configured according to gummy characteristics, bottle dimensions, count per bottle and target production capacity.
Rather than defining one fixed configuration for every gummy product, Vitol evaluates the product and packaging format before selecting the appropriate equipment combination.

Key Equipment
Automatic Bottle Unscrambler
The production process starts with the Automatic Bottle Unscrambler.
The Automatic Bottle Unscrambler automatically organizes bulk empty bottles and transfers them into the packaging line in a controlled sequence.
Photoelectric detection monitors bottle flow and helps reduce bottle accumulation and interruptions.
For gummy supplement manufacturers running multiple bottle formats, the Automatic Bottle Unscrambler can be adjusted for different bottle specifications through the corresponding change parts and bottle guide settings.
The GLP Series High-Speed Bottle Unscrambler provides a stated capacity of 50–200 bottles/min, depending on bottle specifications.


Jet Bottle Cleaner
The Jet Bottle Cleaner provides an optional internal bottle cleaning stage before gummy filling.
Using clean compressed air and multiple nozzles, the Jet Bottle Cleaner performs automatic bottle positioning, inversion and air cleaning.
The system can be connected directly with the gummy filling and downstream packaging equipment.
With a stated capacity of 30–120 bottles/min, the Jet Bottle Cleaner can be selected according to the required production speed.
Gummy Counting & Filling Machine
The core of the Gummy Bottle Packaging Line is the gummy counting and filling stage.
The Gummy Counting & Filling Machine automatically separates, counts and transfers the required quantity of gummy products into bottles.
Because gummy products can differ significantly in size and geometry, the final configuration should be selected based on the actual gummy product rather than relying only on nominal bottle output.
The system can be integrated with upstream bottle handling and downstream desiccant insertion, capping, sealing and labeling equipment.
For new gummy products, Vitol recommends confirming the following information before final equipment selection:
• Gummy dimensions
• Gummy shape
• Product weight
• Surface characteristics
• Count per bottle
• Bottle dimensions
• Required production capacity
This product-first approach helps ensure that the Gummy Counting & Filling Machine is matched to the actual application.



Automatic Desiccant Inserter
Moisture management can be an important part of gummy supplement packaging.
The Automatic Desiccant Inserter automatically feeds and inserts bagged desiccant into the bottle after gummy filling.
The system integrates conveying, detection, positioning and insertion functions under PLC and HMI control.
The Automatic Desiccant Inserter can process bottles approximately Φ30–Φ110 mm in diameter and 50–200 mm in height, subject to the final equipment configuration.
Capacity: 40–100 bottles/min


Automatic Capping Machine
Once the gummy product and desiccant have entered the bottle, the Automatic Capping Machine completes the bottle closure process.
The Automatic Capping Machine automatically feeds caps and performs controlled tightening according to the selected cap and bottle configuration.
For higher-output applications, the SGR10 Multi-Head High-Speed Capping Machine provides a 10-head configuration with a stated maximum capacity of 250 bottles/min, depending on the application.
The Automatic Capping Machine can be synchronized with the upstream filling system and downstream induction sealing equipment.
Aluminum Foil Induction Sealing Machine
After capping, the Aluminum Foil Induction Sealing Machine creates the bottle's induction seal.
The system uses electromagnetic induction heating to seal the aluminum foil liner to the bottle opening without direct contact.
The Aluminum Foil Induction Sealing Machine is suitable for a range of plastic and glass containers used in nutraceutical and health supplement packaging.
The sealing parameters can be adjusted according to bottle and foil specifications.
Maximum stated capacity: 200 bottles/min

Round Bottle Labeling Machine
The Round Bottle Labeling Machine completes the primary bottle packaging process.
The Round Bottle Labeling Machine automatically dispenses and applies self-adhesive labels to round bottles, using PLC control and photoelectric detection for label positioning.
The Round Bottle Labeling Machine can operate independently or be integrated with the complete gummy packaging system.
Capacity: 50–200 bottles/min
