As for bulk candy production in factories, temperature control plays an important role in maintaining the confectionery quality. At Gondor machinery, there are different candy making machines with advanced temperature control system, which can precisely regulate the heating and cooling of syrup to maintain optimal flow and consistency during pouring and molding.
