High-volume confectionery production equipment designed for the automated manufacture of gummy candies exists in various configurations, from entry-level systems for smaller businesses to sophisticated, high-output lines for large-scale manufacturers. These systems typically encompass ingredient mixing, depositing, molding, cooling, and demolding processes. They can handle a wide range of gummy formulations, including gelatin-based, pectin-based, and vegan options, offering flexibility in product development. An example includes equipment capable of depositing gummies into starch molds, a traditional method, as well as systems utilizing innovative technologies like direct depositing into individual molds.
Automated systems offer significant advantages over manual methods, including increased production capacity, improved consistency in size and shape, reduced labor costs, and enhanced hygiene. Historically, gummy production was a labor-intensive process, but advancements in automation technology have revolutionized the industry. These advancements allow manufacturers to meet the growing global demand for gummy candies while maintaining high quality and efficiency.
