Hard Candy

Baker Perkins cooking and depositing systems for hard candy are acknowledged as the industry standard worldwide.

They facilitate production of an extensive range of attractive, high quality and colourful candies covering both sugar and sugar-free recipes.

Baker Perkins’ hard candy capability has been continuously developed over several decades, and today’s ServoForm depositing systems can produce multi-colour, multi-component candies in one, two, three and four colours; in stripes, layers and random patterns; with one or two hard or soft centre-fills; and with every possible colour and flavour.

High milk solid candies are an attractive specialist niche.

There is a virtually inexhaustible potential for end product variety, limited only by the imagination. Crucially, in a market where manufacturers must increasingly respond to growing awareness of health and dietary issues, every hard candy product can be offered in sugar-free form.

Depositing gives greater quality and production flexibility than the die-forming alternative. Superior appearance, high clarity and rapid flavour release with a smooth ‘mouth feel’ are key advantages.

Depositing provides complete control throughout the process, leading to extremely high dimensional, shape and weight accuracy, with low labour and maintenance requirements and improved safety and hygiene.

For confectionery companies needing to maximise product variety, the ServoForm depositor platform includes the Duo machine to produce hard candy and lollipops on a single line; the Universal for hard and soft confectionery; and the Gemini for unique layered products.

Most hard candy lines incorporate the market leading Microfilm cooker, which matches the ServoForm depositor in its ability to deliver superior quality with high operational efficiency.

Many confectionery companies find that visiting the Baker Perkins Innovation Centre at Peterborough, which include full trial and experimental production facilities, provides ideas to establish or extend their product portfolio.
