Syntegon Technology has several innovations for confectionery manufacturing in its programme. With these, the company sets its focus on intelligent and sustainability solutions, in particular with regard to resource efficiency.

By means of the BDS weighing, dosing and mixing system, confectionery manufacturers can produce sugar masses in an energy-efficient manner. Traditionally, water has to be added to the mass during mixing and then boiled out again later. This step is now largely eliminated, resulting in energy savings of around 50 %. As an alternative to the continuously producing BDK system, the new BDS system doses the candy and binding masses in batches, which allows for more individual mixtures and thus offers manufacturers a higher degree of flexibility.

Also new is the BMV mixing system, which features a magnetically coupled stirring element. Compared to attached stirring elements, this method increases hygiene, clean-ability and accessibility. The new hygienic design rounds off the BMV and the BDS systems and ensures an even higher standard of hygiene.

For the production of jellies, the Makat mogul system has been equipped with new components. These include the newly designed de-stacker that feeds the trays into the mogul. “This new development offers jelly manufacturers an attractive system that stands out for its easy operation, minimal troubleshooting times and significantly reduced maintenance requirements,” Dr Sandra Link, Product Manager at Syntegon Technology, explains. “We have also paid special attention to accessibility and ergonomics”.

Another highlight on the Makat mogul is the new inline weighing system. It continuously monitors the product weight throughout the production process, which constitutes an integrated quality control concept.
