AirForm Rotary Moulding

With this unique new concept from Baker Perkins, production of intricate confectionery shapes, such as embossed shapes and 3D profiles can be achieved.  The scrapless technology also replaces the time-consuming and labour-intensive sheet and cut process for forming lozenges and other sugar-based shapes.  Easy roll changeover enables a wide range of eye-catching confectionery products to be made, making it particularly suitable for the dynamic character merchandising market, while excellent hygiene levels offer significant benefits for manufacturers of pharmaceutical and functional
confectionery.
