Continuous cooker for hard candy
Prepare your ingredients for hard candy production. This is a continuous dissolving, cooking, and vacuum plant for hard candy substrate production with varying levels of automation available.
Consistent and efficient preparation of hard candy substrates
The TBK-C line from Ter Braak is a continuous cooking system with output levels of 300 to 1800 kg/h of substrate mass for hard candies. The system consists of one or two cooking coils in a chamber for steam heating. Varying coil diameter and stainless steel pumps with variable speed drives are used to ensure consistent substrate flow and smooth, even cooking without surging. The system’s vacuum chamber includes carefully designed evaporation surfaces and headspace to maximize the efficiency of the extraction pump. The TBK-C is part of Ter Braak’s line of continuous hard candy processing equipment that has developed a strong international reputation for product quality and strong technical support to field applications. Control and integration options exist for PLC systems as well as highly automated supervisory, control and data acquisition (SCADA).
