Schenck Process FPM can deliver integrated, automated confectionery systems that enhance control over production and integrate weighing, feeding, sifting, conveying, cooking, depositing and cooling: total plant automation from raw ingredient to finished candy.
Our depositing technology plays a key role in the manufacture of a wide variety of candies, including:
Inherently efficient, hygienic depositingDepositing into solid molds is the modern, efficient and hygienic alternative to traditional processes such as starch molding, die forming and cut-and-wrap. Our depositing process solutions are highly automated and there is virtually no waste and no molding starch to clean, dry and recycle so product costs are minimized, even at low volumes. Mold materials and construction are carefully chosen to match the characteristics of the product, to deliver high-quality candies that have a uniform size, shape and weight with a glossy finish and smooth texture.
Our technology can also produce products that cannot be made efficiently using traditional processes. For example, the quality and productivity delivered by our patented lollipop stick placing system are truly unique in the industry.
Adding value throughout the confectionery manufacturing processOur confectionery solutions target key needs and concerns:
Our ability to enhance the value of ingredients during processing improves economy. For example, we can efficiently grind inexpensive granulated sugar into fine-powder 6x, 10x or 12x sugar, ingredients that are both more expensive and more difficult to convey. We also have highly effective and efficient sifting and de-lumping solutions to optimize ingredient use and eliminate waste.
A confectioner installs six volumetric feeders in a new make-your-own candy bar production line to accurately dispense small ingredient amounts into chocolate base bars.
High-quality products and unbeatable productivityWe provide full process lines for a wide variety of high-quality hard candies, lollipops, gummies and soft confectionery. High levels of automation and efficiency keep product costs low.
Scalable solutionsOur technology is efficient at any throughput from 50kg/hour to 2,400kg/hour, unlike processes that are rate limited or only cost-effective at large scale.
Ingredient handling with less degradationLeading technology for handling and processing cocoa and milk powders, granulated and liquid sweeteners, salts and starches.
We take a distinctive approach to the processes that drive manufacturing. Let us know how we can help you achieve your goals for efficiency, productivity, safety and sustainability.
