Baker Perkins will focus on the potential for new, high quality deposited candies, lollipops and soft confectionery at its Stand C048. One shot ‘ServoForm’ depositing systems can combine up to four components into a single piece in a range of different patterns, shapes and formats. They offer greater product quality and variety, with lower energy and production costs, compared with traditional methods such as die forming, starch mogul or cut and wrap.
The possibilities for innovation range from hard candy, through ball and flat lollipops to toffee, soft candies and jellies.
Consistent high quality and low cost of production are reasons why depositing is chosen ahead of conventional methods. The nature of the depositing process creates great flexibility and process control. Dimensional, shape and weight accuracy are extremely high; fillings are accurately positioned in the centre; and scrap rates are minimal.
Operational costs are also lower when compared with traditional processes. Set-up is quick and easy using a simple touch screen interface with recipe driven change management. Once running, the process requires very little operator intervention. An automatic wash cycle and hygienic design features minimise cleaning and changeover times for greater line efficiency.
