Rigid Fruit-Cup Classics & Reclosable Drinking-Jelly Pouches
From bite-sized 15–35 g mini assortment cups to 120–220 g diced-peach fruit cups and 150 g reclosable sports/kids drinking-jelly spout pouches, rigid and fitment formats anchor supermarket confectionery aisles. Within jelly packing machines, cup machines divide into compact rotary indexing turntables (ideal for 1–2 cavity footprints and fast cup swaps) and multi-row linear intermittent/servo lines (indexing 4, 6, 8, or 12 cups abreast for high hourly volume).
Dive into cup mold options in rotary and linear jelly cup filling-sealing machines and spouted/multipack systems in drinking-jelly spout pouch & secondary multipack lines.
Rotary Turntable vs Multi-Row Linear Cup Sealer vs Spout Turret
Compare hourly output, footprint geometry, and inclusion capability:
| Machine Architecture | Cups / Pouches per Stroke | Hourly Output | Power & Air Load | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rotary Cup Filler-Sealer (LD-AF/C) | 1 to 4 cavities | 1,800 – 4,800 cups/hr | 2.8–4.5 kW; 0.6 MPa | Compact floor; frequent cup-shape swaps |
| 4–6 Row Linear Cup Machine | 4 or 6 cups abreast | 4,500 – 7,500 cups/hr | 5.5–7.5 kW; 0.65 MPa | Dual-fill fruit + jelly + roll-film lid |
| 8–12 Row High-Speed Linear Cup | 8 to 12 cups abreast | 8,000 – 14,000+ cups/hr | 8.5–12 kW; 0.7 MPa | Mini 15–35 g jelly cups & pudding |
| Rotary Spout Pouch Filler-Capper | 1 to 4 spout rails | 1,500 – 3,600 pouches/hr | 2.5–4.5 kW; 0.6 MPa | 100–200 g drinking jelly + big safety cap |

Hot-Fill Jelly Engineering Notes
- Smooth S-Curve Servo Index Prevents Cup Sloshing: Replacing jerky mechanical Geneva cams with servo S-curve acceleration keeps 80 °C liquid jelly flat below the cup rim between filling and sealing.
- Roll-Fed Eye-Mark Film vs Pre-Cut Foil Lids: Roll-fed printed lidding film with waste-skeleton rewind cuts lid cost by 25–35% over die-cut foil lids on >4,000 cups/hr runs.
- No-Cup-No-Fill & No-Cup-No-Seal Sensors: Optical pocket sensors skip dosing and lid punching automatically if a nested cup stack runs empty.
