Machinery and equipment for manufacturing gummies
In recent years, vitamin gummy have become increasingly popular on the market. For many young consumers, vitamin gummies not only satisfy their needs for candy but also supplement vitamins, so more and more people are willing to buy them.
As the market demand for vitamin gummies continues to expand, many pharmaceutical companies want to expand gummy products.
Is your production team considering entering the vitamins gummy market? Let's enumerate everything you need to know about the vitamin gummy production process and equipment.
Machinery and equipment for large-scale production of gummies
There are many instructions for gummy candy making online, and most cater to enthusiasts who want to learn to make gummy in small batches at home. However, these are of little use to commercial manufacturers.
In order to produce vitamin gummies on a large scale, large-scale industrial equipment and high-quality auxiliary equipment are required.
The following are the main machinery and equipment required for industrial gummy production.
Gummy production system
The gummy production system mainly includes the cooking system and the depositing and cooling system. They are connected through some devices for continuous production
It's important to choose a jelly candy production line that fits your manufacturing budget and achieves your production goals. At TG Machine we offer the following gummy production systems with capacities ranging from 15,000 gummies per hour to 168,000 gummies per hour.
GD40Q - Deposition machine with speed up to 15,000 gummies per hour
GD80Q - Deposition machine with speed up to 30,000 gummies per hour
GD150Q - Deposition machine with speeds up to 42,000 gummies per hour
GD300Q - Deposition machine with speeds up to 84,000 gummies per hour
GD600Q - Deposition machine with speeds up to 168,000 gummies per hour
Mold
Molds are used to determine the shape and size of the fondant. The mold prevents the sugar from sticking together or deforming as it cools. Manufacturers can choose to use standard shapes, like gummy bear, or customize the desired shape.
The production process of vitamin gummies
The procedural details of gummy production vary from team to team and product to product. However, gummy candy making can generally be described as three steps, including:
Cooking
Deposition and cooling
Coating (optional) and quality control
Let us briefly discuss each stage.
Cooking
The making of gummy candy begins with the cooking stage. In the kettle, the basic ingredients are heated to a "slurry" state. The slurry is transferred to a storage mixing tank where more ingredients are added.
These may include flavorings, colorings and citric acid to control PH. Active ingredients, such as vitamins and minerals, are also added at this time.
Deposition and cooling
After cooking, the slurry is moved to a hopper. Place an appropriate amount of the mixture into pre-cooled and oiled molds. To cool, the molds are moved through cooling tunnel, which help them solidify and form. Then remove the cooled gummy cubes from the mold and place on a drying tray.
Coating and quality control
Gummy manufacturers can choose to add coatings to their gummies. Such as sugar coating or Oil coating. Coating is an optional step that improves flavor and texture and reduces sticking between units.
After coating, final quality control monitoring is performed. This may include product inspections, water activity analysis and government-required verification procedures.
