!
Different products can be made simultaneously
!
All products can be made in sugar-based and sugar-free formulations
!
Combination systems are available for hard and soft confectionery, or lollipops and candy

Process description
Cooked candy syrup is deposited at final moisture into either rigid or flexible moulds, depending on the product. The moulds travel the length of the cooling tunnel and return to the ejection point where they are ejected using pins, air, or, in the case of flexible moulds, deformation. Efficient cooling is achieved via fans circulating air in a contra flow direction to the mould movement. Refrigerated cooling tunnels can be supplied for some applications.
