Research on and fabrication of Vietnamese sesame seed candy packaging system

Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose a concept of a high performance of Vietnamese sesame seed candy packaging model. Sesame seed candy is a speciality of the Central Vietnam, especially of Hue, the ancient capital of Vietnam. Sesame seed candy is mainly crafted in some traditional villages in Hue. Because of handicraft, the performance of packaging process is low, and the appearance of packages is not so attractive. Two important physical characteristics of sesame seed candy are stickiness and softness. The material used for the package is mainly nylon. Those combinations trouble the automatic packaging process. The proposed model has the following advantages compared to tackle those obstacles: precise and homogeneous package, high performance, and easy maintenance. The model can be studied to make a closed, automatic sesame seed candy manufacturing system in the future.
