Jelly candies are loved by consumers around the world for their soft texture, rich flavors and brilliant colors. For companies looking to enter the jelly candy market or increase existing production capacity, jelly candy making machines are crucial equipment. This guide will show you how to use this equipment to produce delicious jelly candies and how to stand out in the competitive market.

Raw Materials and Processes for Making Jelly Candies

Raw Material Selection

The taste and quality of jelly candies directly depend on the raw materials used. The following are the main raw materials for making jelly candies and their functions:

SyrupGelatin or AgarJuice or Natural FlavorsAcidity RegulatorsNatural Pigments

As a basic sweetener, it gives jelly candies sweetness and appropriate viscosity.

A molding agent for jelly. Gelatin is usually used to make soft jelly, while agar is suitable for producing more elastic candies. It can be selected according to market demand.

Provide flavors such as fruit, mint or milk flavors to enhance the appeal of candies.

Such as citric acid, which help balance sweetness and provide a refreshing taste.t

Ensure that the jelly candies are colorful and meet visual needs. Natural pigments such as carotene and beet red are often used.

Production Process

The production process of jelly candies requires precise control of temperature, ratio and process flow. The use of jelly candy machines ensures the quality and consistency of each batch of products. The following are common process flows:

Syrup Boiling

Heat the syrup to 80-90 degrees to ensure that all solid raw materials are completely dissolved. Temperature control is very critical to avoid overheating and causing the syrup to deteriorate.

Add Gelatin/Agar

When the syrup cools to 60-70 degrees, add gelatin or agar and stir evenly to melt it completely. This step directly affects the texture of the jelly candy.

Flavoring and Coloring

Add juice or flavors to give the jelly candies a unique taste, and add pigments for coloring to make the candies more eye-catching.

Injection Molding

The mixture is injected into molds of different shapes through equipment to make a variety of jelly candies according to market demand.

Cooling and Curing

Put the molded jelly candy into the cooling equipment to quickly cool it down, so that it can be shaped and form the ideal elasticity and texture.

Modern jelly candy machines have intelligent control systems that ensure that the temperature and formula ratio of each process step are accurate and correct, greatly improving production efficiency and product consistency.

Functions and Advantages of Jelly Candy Making Machine

Candy machines have brought great convenience to candy manufacturers. The following are the main functions and advantages of this equipment:

High Degree of Automation

The equipment is usually equipped with an intelligent control system, which can automatically complete the steps of heating, mixing, molding and cooling under preset conditions, greatly reducing the complexity of operation.

Accurate Formula Control

By setting parameters, the jelly candy machine can ensure that the formula and taste of each batch of products remain consistent, meeting customers’ needs for product stability.

Diversified Mold Selection

Supporting a variety of molds, you can easily switch to produce jelly candies of different shapes, such as heart-shaped, star-shaped, animal-shaped, etc., to help manufacturers develop creative product lines.

Cost Saving and Efficiency Improvement

Automated production lines reduce manual operations, reduce production costs, and increase production capacity, bringing manufacturers higher profit margins.

Comprehensive Solutions for Jelly Candy Production Line

For large-scale candy manufacturers, jelly candy production lines are the most ideal choice. Compared with a single jelly candy machine, jelly candy production lines are more comprehensive, including various steps from raw material preparation to finished product packaging. The following are the main components of jelly candy production lines:

Mixing SystemInjection Molding SystemCooling SystemAutomatic Packaging System

The system is responsible for accurately mixing raw materials such as syrup, water, gelatin and pigments, so that each batch of jelly candy formula is consistent, ensuring uniformity of taste and texture.

Using automatic injection molding equipment, the jelly candy production line can quickly and efficiently inject jelly liquid into the mold, and achieve accurate metering to ensure that the weight of each candy is consistent.

The cooling system quickly cools the jelly candy after injection molding to ensure the stability of the shape of the jelly candy and improve production efficiency.

Jelly candy production lines are usually equipped with automatic packaging equipment, which can quickly package finished candies, effectively increase the speed of product delivery, and support a variety of packaging methods to meet different market needs.
