Detailed introduction about fully automatic candy production equipment, covering technical principles, core functions, mainstream brands and development trends, etc.,.
The core components of automatic candy production equipment
- Sugar boiling system
Vacuum film sugar simmering machine: through vacuum low temperature simmering, fast evaporation of water, retaining the colour and flavour of sugar liquid, energy consumption reduced by more than 30%.
Steam control system: precisely adjust the temperature (120-160℃) to adapt to the different process requirements of hard sugar, soft sugar and so on.
- Candy pouring and moulding system
Servo-driven pouring head: PLC-controlled high-precision pump valve, pouring volume error ≤ ±1%, supporting single-colour, two-colour and sandwich layered pouring.
Modular design of moulds: quick change of moulds (e.g. heart shape, ball shape, lollipop, etc.), product switching within 15 minutes.
- Cooling and Packaging System
Continuous Cooling Tunnel: Multi-layer air-cooled or water-cooled device ensures fast setting and smooth surface of candies.
Full-automatic packaging machine: support pillow and twist packaging, speed up to 800-1200 grains/minute
Full-automatic candy production line equipment supports the production of soft candy, hard candy, lollipop, sandwich candy, etc. Dynamic mixer to add flavour/colouring online, frequency conversion speed control flow rate, double stripping mechanism to reduce the wear and tear, supports the production of lollipop, sandwich candy, etc. Quickly switch moulds for soft and hard candy conversion. Equipped with PLC servo intelligent pouring machine, vacuum film sugar boiling machine, flavour pump, etc. Equipped with 10.7 inch touch screen to monitor the parameters in real time.
Additional features: optional chocolate dosing system, support complex processes such as two-color spraying, double-layer pouring, etc. PLC/computer program control, stainless steel SUS304 material, automatic steam control system, and custom moulds are available. Closed sanitary design, suitable for high cleanliness production environment.
Core advantages of candy making equipment
- High-efficiency production
- Single line capacity up to 800kg/h, support 24 hours continuous production.
The rate of defective products is less than 0.5%, through automatic weighing and visual inspection system to eliminate non-conforming products.
- Flexible Adaptation
- By changing moulds and adjusting parameters, the same equipment can produce 10+ categories of soft candy, hard candy, chocolate sandwich candy and so on.
- Support small batch customisation (e.g. holiday limited candies).
- Intelligent control
- PLC+touch screen: one key to switch the formula, real-time monitoring of temperature, pressure, flow and other parameters.
- IoT expansion: some devices support remote operation and data analysis (e.g. energy consumption optimisation suggestions).
Candy machine application scenes and cases
Hard candy production line: raw material→sugar melting→boiling→pouring→cooling→packaging, full automation, manpower reduced by 70%.
Gummy candy production line: add pectin/gelatin mixture, even colouring through dynamic mixer, shaping within 60 seconds after pouring.
Sandwich fruits: adopting double-layer pouring head, injecting outer layer of sugar liquid first, filling jam/chocolate core after cooling.
Suggestions for purchasing candy production line
- Matching demand
- Small enterprises: choose 150-300kg/h model with low investment cost (200,000-400,000 RMB).
- Large factory: give priority to 600kg/h model or above, matching automatic packaging line.
2.Future Trend
- Green manufacturing: steam recovery system, power optimisation module, reduce carbon emissions.
- Personalisation: 3D printing mould technology to support the production of complex shaped candies.
AI quality inspection: identify defects such as sugar body bubbles and cracks through machine learning.
