Jelly Production Line Case Study Overview

This case study highlights how Vedic Pac Systems delivered a complete jelly production line for Rupshi Foods, enabling scalable and high-quality confectionery manufacturing.

With increasing demand for jelly products across South Asia, Rupshi Foods required a modern jelly processing plant capable of maintaining consistent quality while increasing production capacity. As a trusted confectionery equipment supplier in India, Vedic Pac Systems partnered with global technology leaders to implement an advanced jelly manufacturing line.

The solution combined Chocotech cooking technology and WDS depositing systems to create a fully integrated jelly processing system, ensuring efficiency, flexibility, and superior product quality.

The Challenge

Chitale Bandhu Mithaiwale is one of India’s most recognized confectionery brands, known for producing high-quality traditional sweets and snacks for decades. Established in 1950, the company has built a strong reputation for maintaining hygiene, consistency, and authentic taste across its growing network of retail outlets and distribution channels across Maharashtra and India..

As the demand for Kaju Katli, one of the brand’s most popular traditional Indian sweets, continued to grow rapidly, the company faced increasing pressure to scale production while maintaining its strict quality standards.

The key challenges included:

Meeting the increasing demand for Kaju Katli production in a competitive confectionery market.
Maintaining consistent product quality, shape, and texture across large production volumes.
Ensuring high hygiene and food safety standards in modern sweet manufacturing facilities.
Introducing automation in traditional sweet production without compromising the authentic taste and texture expected by customers.

To address these challenges, Chitale Bandhu Mithaiwale sought a high-performance automated production system capable of increasing production efficiency while preserving the traditional characteristics of Kaju Katli.

Extruding of Kaju Katli Mass on OKA Extruder

The Solution

To meet these requirements, Vedic Pac-Systems Pvt. Ltd. collaborated with OKA Spezialmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, a German manufacturer with over 100 years of experience in designing advanced bakery and confectionery processing equipment.

The solution involved installing the OKA Depositor and Extruder System (AQ Series) — an advanced confectionery production line designed for efficient and flexible sweet manufacturing.

The OKA system integrates multiple production technologies within a single platform, making it ideal for industrial-scale production of traditional sweets such as Kaju Katli and marzipan products.

Key technological capabilities of the system include:

Extrusion Technology – Ensures precise extrusion of Kaju Katli mass for uniform product formation.
Wire Cutting System – Provides accurate cutting and shaping of sweets into desired dimensions.
Drop Depositing Technology – Enables controlled depositing of confectionery paste onto moving production belts.
Moveable Nozzle Depositing – Allows production of sweets in different shapes and sizes with high flexibility.
Modular Production Design – Enables future expansion to produce additional confectionery products such as pralines and marzipan sweets.

The system was successfully installed and commissioned through the joint efforts of the OKA installation team and Vedic Pac-Systems’ trained engineers, ensuring smooth integration, operator training, and long-term technical support.

The Results

The implementation of the OKA Kaju Katli production line delivered measurable improvements in production efficiency, product consistency, and operational flexibility for Chitale Bandhu Mithaiwale.

Key results achieved include:

Significant increase in Kaju Katli production capacity, enabling the company to meet growing consumer demand.
Consistent product quality and uniformity, maintaining the traditional taste and premium finish of the sweet.
Improved manufacturing efficiency through automation of key confectionery processing stages.
Expansion of product distribution to additional retail channels beyond company-owned outlets.
Greater production flexibility, allowing the same system to manufacture similar traditional sweets and marzipan-based products in various shapes and sizes.

With the successful integration of OKA’s advanced confectionery technology and the engineering support from Vedic Pac-Systems, Chitale Bandhu Mithaiwale has enhanced its production capabilities while continuing to deliver the authentic quality that has defined the brand for decades.
