KDV Group’s confectionery products, including waffles, cookies and gingerbread sold under the Yashkino brand, have become well known across Russia and sales have risen. This has led to the company setting up new production facilities in different parts of the country.
Today KDV has 11 factories, making over 350 types of confectionery products and snacks, such as croutons, potato crisps, pellet chips, dried fish, seafood, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and packed nuts.
As part of the expansion of KDV’s potato crisp production, a new processing department was built a few years back near the company’s confectionery factory in Yashkino. This now includes a fully integrated crisp packing line, designed with Heat & Control processing equipment and Ishida bagmakers.
The Ishida packing line comprises a 16-head Ishida multihead weigher integrated with its Atlas ECO snack food bagmaker, which is able to achieve high speeds for difficult products such as potato crisps. The weigher operates in twin mode, with two sets of eight heads weighing the snack products simultaneously at speeds of up to 95 bags a minute per side.
