How to Produce Butterfly Jelly with Our Filling Machine?

Struggling to create eye-catching, multi-colored jellies? The complex process can be a real headache. I’m here to show you a simple, automated solution for perfect results every time.

To produce butterfly jelly, you’ll first need PP butterfly cups. Our filling and sealing machine then automates the entire process. It separates the cups, performs a two-stage filling with different colors, places the sealing film, heat-seals it twice, and then cuts out the beautiful final product.

Now that you have a general idea, you are probably curious about the specific details. I understand completely. When I first got into this business, I was also fascinated by how these machines could perform such intricate tasks so flawlessly. Let’s dive deeper into the process together, and I’ll walk you through each step.

How Does Our Machine Create a Four-Color Butterfly Jelly Step-by-Step?

Want to create vibrant, four-colored jellies without the mess and inconsistency? Manual methods are frustrating. Our machine automates this intricate process, ensuring a perfect product every time.

Our machine automates the entire production line. [19] It begins by automatically dropping the PP butterfly cups into the molds. It then uses a four-stage filling process for the different colors, followed by automatic placement and heat-sealing of the film, and finally cuts out the finished, perfectly layered butterfly jelly. [19]

The magic of creating these beautiful jellies lies in the machine’s precise, automated workflow. I remember being amazed the first time I saw it in action, turning simple ingredients into a delightful product with such speed. The process is broken down into several key stages to ensure quality and efficiency. First, you need to purchase PP (Polypropylene) material butterfly cups from the market. [1, 2] This material is crucial because it is food-safe and can withstand the heat-sealing process. [5] Once you load these cups into the machine, it handles everything else.

Here is a simple breakdown of the production stages:

Stage	Action	Details
1. Cup Feeding	Automatic Cup Dropping	The machine takes a stack of butterfly cups and automatically separates and places each one precisely into the machine’s molds.
2. Multi-Stage Filling1	Four-Color Injection	This is where the visual appeal is created. Most butterfly jellies on the market have four colors. Our machine achieves this through a twice-filling process. It injects two different colors first, then follows up with two more colors to create the distinct, layered look. [19]
3. Sealing2	Film Placement & Dual Sealing	After filling, a device automatically places the sealing film over the cups. A photoelectric sensor ensures the film’s pattern is perfectly aligned. [19] The machine then performs two separate heat-sealing actions to ensure a strong, reliable seal that protects the product. [9]
4. Cutting & Output	Final Product Cutting	Once sealed, the machine cuts the cups from the film roll, creating the final, individual butterfly jelly products. [9] They are then automatically outputted, ready for the next stage of packaging.

This fully automated process not only guarantees a beautiful and consistent product but also significantly increases production speed.

What Key Features Make Our Machine Ideal for Butterfly Jelly Production?

Are you worried about inconsistent quality and slow production speeds in your facility? Manual jelly making is often inefficient. Discover the key features of our machine that are designed to guarantee precision, speed, and absolute reliability in every single cup.

Our machine’s design combines electric and pneumatic drives for incredibly stable operation. [19] It features fully automatic cup feeding, precision multi-stage filling, photoelectric sensors for perfect film placement, and a dual hot-sealing device to ensure a secure, high-quality seal every time. [19]

When I speak with clients, from large dairy producers in India to snack food companies in Saudi Arabia, they all share a common need: reliability. Downtime is costly, and product inconsistency can damage a brand’s reputation. That’s why we built our butterfly jelly filling machine with features that directly address these concerns. It’s not just about speed; it’s about dependable, high-quality output. The combined electric and pneumatic driving system provides a steady and powerful operation, which reduces manpower and lowers production costs. [19] Its high degree of automation is a major advantage; the entire workflow, from feeding the cups to the output of the final product, requires no manual intervention. [19]

Here are some of the core features and the benefits they bring to your production line:

Feature	Benefit for You
High-Efficiency Multi-Head Filling1	The machine can fill up to 12 cups at the same time, dramatically increasing your production output to meet high market demand. [19]
Photoelectric Sensor Revision	A sensor detects color marks on the sealing film to automatically correct its position. This ensures your branding and patterns are perfectly centered on every cup, enhancing product appeal. [19]
Reliable Hot Sealing Device2	The quality of the seal is critical for food safety and shelf life. Our machine’s hot sealing device provides a tight, absolutely reliable seal. [19]
Optional Date Printer	You can easily integrate a date printer into the workflow for automatic batch coding and date marking, essential for quality control and traceability. [19]

These features come together to create a machine that is not just a piece of equipment, but a reliable partner in your production success.

What Do You Need to Prepare Before Starting Your Production Run?

Feeling unprepared for your first production run? I’ve been there. Starting without the right materials and machine setup can lead to frustrating delays. Let me guide you through the simple, yet crucial, pre-production steps to ensure a smooth start.

Before you begin, you need to source the correct PP material butterfly cups that are compatible with the machine. [1, 2] Then, prepare your four different colored jelly liquids based on your unique recipes. Finally, make sure the filling and sealing machine is properly cleaned and calibrated for the specific cup size and filling volume. [6]

A successful production day always starts with good preparation. It’s a lesson I’ve learned over many years in this industry, visiting factories across Morocco, Vietnam, and Russia. A few simple checks beforehand can save hours of potential downtime later. The first and most important step is securing the right raw materials. You must use butterfly cups made from PP (Polypropylene), as this material is designed to handle the heat-sealing process without warping or releasing harmful substances. [1, 2, 5] Using the wrong type of plastic can lead to sealing failures and product contamination.

Next, you need to prepare your product. For the popular four-color butterfly jelly, this means having your four different jelly liquids ready to go. [4, 15] It’s important that the viscosity of your jellies is suitable for the machine’s filling nozzles to ensure accurate and clean filling without drips or splashes. [17, 21]

Finally, give your machine a quick pre-operation check:

• Cleanliness: Ensure all parts, especially the hopper and filling nozzles, are clean to maintain food safety standards.
• Calibration: Double-check that the machine is set for the correct cup size and that the filling volume is calibrated for each color.
• Film & Printer: Load the sealing film correctly and make sure the photoelectric sensor is aligned with the film’s color marks. If you’re using a date printer, ensure it has enough ink and is set with the correct information.

Taking these few preparatory steps will set you up for a seamless and highly efficient production run.
