Hard candy production system
Enhance your candy production line with a comprehensive system that optimizes processes from cooking to tempering, ensuring quality consistency and reduced flavor loss in hard and sugar-free candies.
Processes and Vacuumizes Hard Candy Mass
The SUCROMASTER® from CHOCOTECH is a specialized hard candy cooking and vacuum system designed to enhance operational efficiency for confectionery manufacturers. It employs a high vacuum system to minimize flavor loss and reduce inversion by processing the candy mass at low temperatures. The system offers a versatile cooking solution capable of producing a range of candies, from sugar-free butterscotch to aerated and medicated candy, through its comprehensive suite of integrated processes: weighing, dissolving, cooking, vacuumizing, tempering, and optional aerating.
With a processing capacity of up to 4000 kg/h, the SUCROMASTER® can handle high-speed continuous operations, accommodating up to four different candy ropes with distinct colors and flavors. It seamlessly integrates into existing production lines with its PLC-controlled automation, which allows for minimal manual intervention and enhanced productivity.
Additionally, this system supports a vast array of applications, including the production of boiled sweets, lollipops, and milk chocolate-flavored candies. Its construction provides robust performance in demanding environments, and customization options are available to adapt to specific production requirements. Maintenance is streamlined with a design that facilitates easy access and cleaning, ensuring sustained hygienic operations.
