Industry Applications of Gondor Die-Formed Hard Candy Production Lines
The die-formed candy production line is a versatile solution used across various sectors. Beyond traditional confectionery, it is increasingly utilized in health and pharmaceutical industries due to its precision and efficiency.
1. Traditional Confectionery Industry
This is the primary sector for hard candy making machines, focusing on mass-market consumer sweets:
- Fruit-Flavored Hard Candies: Single-color, double-color, or multi-color striped candies.
- Center-filled Candies: Using advanced die-formed hard candy production line technology to inject jam, chocolate, or powder into the candy core.
- Mints & Breath Fresheners: High-density mints that require the structural integrity provided by die-forming.
- Die-formed Lollipops: Specialized lines can automatically insert sticks during the forming process for spherical or 3D-shaped lollipops.
2. Nutritional Supplements Industry
Molded hard candy production lines are ideal for “functional candies” because they ensure precise weight and ingredient distribution:
- Throat Lozenges: Throat lozenges containing menthol and eucalyptus oil.
- Nutritional Supplements: Candy-based products that make it easier for children and the elderly to ingest vitamins and minerals.
- Functional Ingredients: Hard candies fortified with probiotics, lutein or dietary fiber.
3. Food Ingredients & Industrial Processing
- Baking & Dessert Toppings: Producing specific shapes or crushed candy fragments for cake and ice cream decorations.
- Corporate Branding: Customized shapes or logo-embossed candies for hotels, airlines, and corporate gifts.
Molded Hard Candy Production Line Workflow
This production line achieves high automation from raw material processing to final packaging. The specific process is as follows:
Operators add water and ingredients to the jacketed cooking pot and heat them to a preset high temperature. Precise temperature control ensures the syrup reaches the ideal viscosity and moisture content.
The cooked candy mass is poured onto the cooling table for physical cooling. During this stage, operators fold the mass and evenly incorporate flavors, colors, and other additives.
The pliable candy mass is placed into the batch roller to form a thick rope, which then automatically enters the rope sizer to be stretched into a consistent thin rope, ensuring uniform weight for each candy.
The thin rope enters the hard candy forming machine, where it is instantaneously cut and pressed into preset shapes by high-speed rotating dies, ensuring sharp contours and exquisite patterns.
Newly formed candies enter the cooling cabinet. Through circulating cold air, the candies are rapidly cooled and stabilized while tiny fragments are screened out.
The stabilized candies are fed into the twist packing machine, which automatically completes filling, twist-sealing, and cutting. The finished products are then ready for storage.
Can this production line make lollipops?
Yes, this production line can produce lollipops. By configuring a specialized lollipop forming machine within the line, it enables compatible production for both hard candies and lollipops. During the instantaneous die-forming process, the equipment automatically synchronizes the “stick-insertion” step, accurately planting plastic or paper sticks into the center of the candy mass. Whether it is a classic spherical shape, a flat disc, or complex 3D shapes, the die-forming process ensures precise contours and secure sealing. This “multi-purpose” capability not only increases product variety but also provides customers with great flexibility to switch between the hard candy and lollipop markets.
