Tanis is a global leader in nutraceutical and confectionery gummy and jelly manufacturing equipment.

Nutraceutical gummies require a very specific balance that maintains active ingredient efficacy, ensures accurate dosing, masks unpleasant flavors and avoids cross-contamination. Tanis production lines have been perfected to deliver all of this.



The Tanis OTC non-starch production lines are precision-engineered to suit the demand for gums and jellies enriched with active ingredients. Starchless machinery facilitates cleaner ingredient profiles, aligning with the trend towards more natural and transparent product labeling in the confectionery industry. Moreover, it guarantees no cross-contamination, ensuring the purity of the final products and enhancing overall efficiency in gums and jellies production.

But what exactly does the process of raw materials to final candy product look like?
<h2>The kitchen</h2>
The first step of raw material to the final product is making premix. Premix usually consists of sugar, glucose, water and gelatine or pectin. It is made by first weighing the ingredients, adding them into the vessel and then mixing them. When this is done, the premix will be pumped or transported by vacuum to the next stage of the process; cooking.

Cooking premix is step two of the process to make a gummy. During the cooking the premix is pumped through a stainless steel heat exchanger. The premix will turn into a clear solution.

Next up is blending; adding additives such as colour and flavor to the cooked mass. This is also the step where you can add active substances like CBD to the candy. The weighing, cooking and blending machines form ‘the kitchen’. OTC Candy is a specialist when it comes to accurately measuring active ingredients such as CBD in candy as well as masking odors and flavors. This is important to understand when you are orientating yourself on buying CBD gummy manufacturing equipment.
<h2>Moulding and Demoulding</h2>
After the raw materials have gone through the first phase of the candy manufacturing equipment and have formed a final candy mass, the moulding can start. During step four, the depositor can turn the candy mass into all sorts of fun and fancy shapes. After conditioning of the product, OTC Candy is also able to supply an automatic demoulding system. This makes the labor intensive work of manual demoulding unnecessary.
<h2>Conditioning</h2>
Conditioning rooms contain air handlers which have several functions: filtering, cooling, heating, blowing and air compression. This delivers an airflow across the room that causes the gummies to dry and form to your final conditioned product.
<h2>Finishing</h2>
Last but not least; the finishing of the gummies. After conditioning the candy in the conditioning room and demoulding of the candy, the candy will get its final touch with the De-Oiler and optionally the Sugar Sander. The De-Oiling drum will automatically remove any excess oil of the gummies while the Sugar Sander is a fully automatic system for continuously controlled sugar coating of soft boiled gummies.

Starting up your OTC non-starch gummy production

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

Active candy, like vitamin gummies, is becoming increasingly popular. Although making them is somewhat different from traditional gummies. Luckily the experts at Tanis talked us through the exact steps you need to take to make the perfect batch of vitamin gummies.


<h2>Vitamins can't just be added, but they require some recipe changes</h2>
First, you have to start with the right recipe. Compared to traditional gummy mixtures, adding vitamins changes the taste, so keep an eye out for potential changes. For example, Vitamin C makes things sour, thus you'll need to add buffer salts to counteract that sourness.

While sugar is the ABC of gummy making, gelling agents like gelatin or pectin are as important in the process. They help you achieve the right texture, and you must mix them with water, then add sugar and syrup to make the gooey candy base. Then you’ll need to cook the mixture to moisture and extend shelf life.

Once the candy's cooked, it's time to add vitamins, flavors, and colors. They are heat-sensitive so you’ll need to make sure that you don’t add them when the mixture is too hot. This could end in the loss of valuable nutrients. Finally, you can add acids to achieve the desired sweet-sour balance for fruity flavors.

When the gummy mixture is ready, then comes the validation process where you must ensure batch homogeneity. It’s pivotal to have accurate dosage and secure measurement, so you can guarantee consistent levels of active ingredients in each candy.

Once everything's mixed in, it's time to pour the candy into molds and let it cool. You can opt for a shine or sugar coating, to make your candy look even better. But cooling it just right is super important to make sure your candies stay nice and solid.

Luckily Tanis has the necessary expertise in all of these steps, with adaptable production lines, ranging from manual to fully automated. In addition, the experts at Tanis can offer increased control and capacity, accommodating varying production needs. With capacities from 100 kg to 5000 kg per hour, you’ll requirements are taken into account to produce the perfect vitamin gummy based on your specific needs.

Exploring the artistry of candy-making

The traditional method for gummy and jelly production uses starch to keep the ingredients from sticking to the mold trays. But, as an organic byproduct, starch raises concerns about microbial contamination. Moreover, starch leads to coarser edges of individual sweets, lowering the quality of the end products. The use of starch presents many hygiene and cross-contamination risks, as well as efficiency, quality and financial compromises.

<h2>Make high-definition gummies that are free from starch</h2>
The ServoForm Flexi system for gummies and jellies from Baker Perkins is designed for starch-free production. Starch-free depositing is both more hygienic and economic than traditional starch mogul production for the lower throughputs that are typically required for functional, nutraceutical and healthcare markets.

The ServoForm Flexi system offers the capability to produce gummies and jellies with longer setting times. 3D, solid, striped, centre-filled and layered products with gelatin, pectin or specialized gelling agents are deposited at final solids so no drying is required, only setting/conditioning.

A unique single-piece plastic mould allows for rapid product changeovers. The strong, rigid construction provides resistance to twisting to maintain depositing accuracy and stack stability, and is designed to survive both manual and automatic handling for multiple cycles. They are temperature resistant to allow hot product and automatic washing.

Flexible Output Line For Gummies and Jellies

Tech is [was] keeping vitamin gummy manufacturers from cutting starch

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, but the human species lost the ability to produce it biologically during the course of evolution. Instead, we source the substance either from whole foods or vitamin C manufacturing. The chemical characteristics of the natural nutrient and processed compound are the same, but supplements offer higher concentrations, especially to persons with nutrient deficiencies.

Vitamin C

Baker Perkins supplies technology for the bakery, biscuit, confectionery, supplements, snack and breakfast cereal sectors, The company's production machines are based on over 100 years of experience in the field.

When the starch mogul was first introduced in the early 1900s, it revolutionized the way jellies and gummies were produced.

The machine punched a mold into a bed of starch, much like an industrial cookie cutter. The gelatinous mixture was left to set until the starch absorbed enough moisture to produce a solid.

Although gums took hours to form, the technique relatively quick method for mass-producing candies in a more-or-less consistent shape. But it didn’t come without its costs. Manufacturers now needed extra space for starch rooms and a whole new process of filling starch trays, then separating the starch from the formed candies and drying it again for re-use.

Nevertheless, the clouds of starch particles that filled the shopfloors were a step forward from the laborious hand-forming of the day.


<h3>New gummy products, old manufacturing methods</h3>
The mogul technique is still widely used today, but gummies have changed considerably over the decades. Gummy products have expanded to include medicated formulations like vitamin gummies. Meanwhile, greater awareness of the contamination risks associated with starch is prompting regulators to introduce stricter validation standards for manufacturers.

Bulk starch sitting in storage is fertile ground for microorganisms, including pathogenic ones. This raises a new set of challenges, particularly for producers of vitamin gummies. They must constantly monitor the starch for microbial contamination and treat it with radiation before using it.
<h3>The time of starch-free production technology</h3>
Baker Perkins developed a system to manufacture high-quality gummies without any starch. The syrup formula is accurately deposited into 3D molds made from food-grade material.

But besides eliminating contamination issues, removing starch from the process simplifies the operation. No tray-filling, no handling issues, and no starch drying. In addition, the system allows manufacturers to form high-definition vitamin gummies with multiple coloring possibilities.

Unlike traditional methods, starch-free production simplifies demolding while fully preserving the shape of the gums. Keith Graham, marketing manager at Baker Perkins, explained to us how the combination of the mold material, the surface finish, and a special spray solution impacts the end product. “Getting these parameters right is the key to achieving 100% demolding.”

The reasons to move past the starch mogul have been mounting for years. But, just like the time the mogul was invented, the industry needs an efficient alternative to take the leap.

Baker Perkins has roots in the same era when the starch mogul became the obvious way to produce jelly products. The next step forward is taking vitamin gummies starch-free.
