Waxing station for confectionery products
Optimize your product’s final presentation and quality by applying a precise coating of wax or oil, ensuring exceptional moisture retention and preventing sticking during packaging.
Applies Protective Coatings and Temperature Control
The Waxing Station from Extrugroup is a key component in the final conditioning stage for confectionery and pet food manufacturing. This equipment efficiently applies wax or oil coatings to products such as gummy candies, licorice sticks, and pet treat chews, enhancing their presentation and preventing adhesion. With its jacketed system for precise temperature control, the station maintains optimal coating conditions via circulating water. Positioned before the main cooling tunnel in extrusion lines, it seamlessly integrates into continuous production, occupying minimal space and offering easy bypass for non-coated products. Various grooved guiding rollers ensure tailored application for different product profiles. Configurable with your process needs, the Waxing Station supports scalability and customization, making it an ideal choice for producers aiming for consistency and quality in their end-products.
