Compact hard candy cooking and depositing
Date: 03 December 2004
An addition to the Baker Perkins range
Baker Perkins is supplying a Compact hard candy cooking and
depositing system to a leading confectionery manufacturer in the
Middle East.
The Compact system is a recent addition to the Baker
Perkins range of cooking and depositing systems, and offers a
rapid return on investment from outputs up to 320 kg/hour, with the
cost benefits that have persuaded many companies to switch from die
forming to depositing.
The Compact concept provides cost-effective entry to the
confectionery market for companies in developing countries.
Solid hard candy, two-colour centre-fill hard candy, two-colour
striped hard candy and fruit or milk/cream-based candies can all be
made on one Compact line.
Continuous operation ensures consistent quality with less scrap,
and also reduces labour requirements. Rapid product changeover
times are achieved with minimal waste, and maintenance requirements
are minimal.
The line incorporates a Baker Perkins 'Microfilm' swept
surface cooker, regarded as the industry standard for high boiled,
milk and cream candies. The depositor is a Compact version of
the Baker Perkins series that offers the confectioner
more choices than any other range on the market - over
400 Baker Perkins depositing systems are at work around
the world.
Compared with die forming, depositing typically offers a higher
quality appearance with improved clarity, plus a smoother 'mouth
feel' with quicker flavour release. Other advantages include the
ability to make a wide range of bright, sophisticated products with
high consumer appeal, in a variety of weights, and with accurate
control of piece weight and shape.
This proven technology is backed by full process support,
including an Innovation Centre at Peterborough in the UK for
product trials in a confidential environment.
