Our solutions for confectionery production

Sweets are popular. Whether sweet or salty, cold or warm – the range ranges from sweets, sugar confectionery and chocolate to ice cream, chewing gum and raw materials. Because there are many individual requirements, production must be very flexible. This requires a huge amount of innovation from manufacturers of systems for confectionery production and such products. A high degree of automation and process reliability are required. Every step from raw material processing to packaging is important.

Important goals

High availability

The production of confectionery uses system technology that ensures continuous production processes without downtime.

Easy cleaning

Production systems must be easy and efficient to clean in order to meet hygienic standards and ensure the quality of confectionery products.

Digitization that is promising for the future

The integration of digital technologies and the networking of production systems enable efficient control and optimizes the entire production process.

Seamless traceability

Raw materials must be traceable to the end product to meet legal requirements and precisely monitor product quality.

Process confectionary production

Dosing

In confectionery production, it is important to enhance the value of cooked masses search as jelly, hard and chewy candy masses are of great importance due to the addition of dyes, flavors or acids. The process requirements for the production of confectionery are high. These machines are usually integrated into higher-level control systems. The machines must precisely dose, mix and pour while meeting the highest hygiene standards.

Conching

During the conching process, everything depends on effective shear force introduction into the rolling stock. High shear forces are required. It is possible if the resulting frictional heat can be safely dissipated due to the good heat transfer in the edge zones.
