Laboratory unit for small quantity production and r&d

Processes Confectionery and Nutraceuticals Efficiently

The Lab+ micro-unit from Hänsel Processing is a highly versatile laboratory-scale machine designed to meet the challenges of producing small-batch confectionery and nutraceutical products. This system features a high-shear mixer for homogeneous raw material preparation, capable of integrating crystals, powders, and jellifying agents. Applications span hard candies, chewy toffees, and vitamin gummies, making it ideal for both confectionery producers and R&D departments in the nutraceuticals industry.

With a production capacity ranging from 8 to 16 kg/h, Lab+ offers precise control through integrated weighing, dosing, and vacuuming stages, ensuring low-temperature processes that preserve ingredient quality. The unit operates without the need for compressed air or steam, increasing site-installation flexibility. High-quality components and the plug & run design facilitate quick installation and start-up, minimizing downtime. Optional flow meters on dosing pumps enhance automation and process accuracy.

Lab+ supports customization via a separate data login for process parameter access, essential for R&D refinements. Its robust construction upholds Hänsel’s industrial-grade standards, providing reliability for both transitional product development and regular production lines. The system’s flexibility is further highlighted by its compatibility with existing lab depositors, enabling seamless integration into your workflow.
