Caramelization system for industrial confectionery production

Achieve precise caramelization and cooking of sensitive confectionery masses with advanced temperature control, ensuring consistent product quality and minimizing the risk of burning.

Caramelizes and Cooks Confectionery Masses Precisely

The CARAMASTER® and ROTAMAT® series from Hänsel Processing offer specialized solutions for confectionery manufacturers focused on producing high-quality caramel and chewy candies. The CARAMASTER® utilizes a double-jacketed, warm-water-heated container that manages precise caramelization through adjustable residence time and temperature controls, ensuring homogeneity with Teflon scrapers. The ROTAMAT® 3610, 3611, and 3612 thin-layer rotor cookers excel in cooking sensitive confectionery masses like milk caramels and soft candy cream fillings. These cookers maintain product integrity through vacuum or overpressure cooking and ensure uniform heat transfer with film-forming capabilities. Designed for continuous, high-speed automation, these systems integrate seamlessly into existing production lines with options for CIP systems for effortless cleaning and high system availability. Available in configurations suitable for various production scales, these systems support confectionery processes that demand precise temperature control and consistent quality, catering to both large-scale manufacturers and innovative artisanal producers.
