Systems for processing confectionery rework

Optimize resource use and reduce waste by transforming confectionery rework into valuable syrup bases, enhancing both economic and ecological production efficiency.

Processes Confectionery Rework Into Reusable Syrup Solutions

Hänsel Processing’s Confectionery Rework Processing System efficiently converts production waste into valuable syrup solutions. This system uses a specialized recycling process that dissolves and reprocesses confectionery waste, such as hard candies and marshmallows, into a clear, neutral sugar-glucose solution. Ideal for candy manufacturers, it supports continuous, high-speed operations and integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. By eliminating the need for extensive packaging removal, except for flowpack crushing, it simplifies recycling. Notably, the system improves resource efficiency by converting waste into usable product bases, contributing to economic and environmental sustainability. Built with durable materials, it offers customization options for specific production needs.

Benefits
