Compact confectionery depositing systems
Date: 06 June 2003
Compact cooking and depositing systems developed by Baker Perkins enable confectionery makers to produce high quality hard candies for the same investment as traditional die forming technology.
The new lines also provide cost-effective entry to the confectionery market for companies in developing countries. They are is an addition to the Baker Perkins range of cooking and depositing systems - over 500 of these plants are at work around the world.
The compact system offers a rapid return on investment from outputs up to 800 kg/hour, with the flexibility, cost and quality benefits that have already persuaded many companies to switch from die forming to depositing.
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 products with high consumer appeal, in a variety of product weights, and with accurate control of weight and shape.
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, 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 APV Baker series that offers the confectioner more choices than any other range on the market.
This proven technology is backed by full process support, including an Innovation Centre for product trials in a confidential environment.
