How to turn a bag of sugar into a bag of scrumptious gummies

Every step requires the right processing solution

It all starts in the kitchen, where you need sugar, glucose, water, and gelatin or pectin blend to form the premix. Every ingredient must be meticulously measured and mixed, setting the stage for what’s to come. Then you have to cook the mixture, heat it, and pump it through a stainless steel heat exchanger to achieve a clear solution.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. In the blending phase, you can add bursts of color and flavor with food colorants and flavorings.  Depending on the exact type of gummy you want to make, you can add active ingredients, like CBD to the mixture. But look out for the unwanted tastes that can come from active ingredients. Luckily Tanis has the right expertise to help you craft the perfect recipe for your gummies.

Next, you can shape the candy mass by molding and later demolding it. You don’t have to do that by hand but opt for automated solutions like the Tanis 400S Modular System. It is an ideal solution for producing premium gummies while gradually scaling up, which means when your business grows organically, so can your production lines.

As a next step, you can transfer the candies to a conditioning room, where air handlers perform filtering, cooling, heating, blowing, and air compression, facilitating the drying and final conditioning of the gummies.

Finally, use a de-oiler to remove excess oil, while if needed, the sugar sander delicately coats the gummies in sweetness, ensuring even coating on each of the gummies.

Not only molding and demolding but all the other steps described can be easily operated with the Tanis 400S solution. It is designed to maintain active ingredient efficacy and prevent cross-contamination. Whether you’re a startup or a veteran producer, the scalable approach from Tanis ensures growth at your own pace.
