Product Introductions

Sugar Dissolving Tank (with Gear Pump)

• Quantity: 2 units in parallel configuration, ensuring continuous syrup supply for uninterrupted production.

• Material Feeding: Manual feeding of raw sugar and water into the tank, offering flexible operation for batch preparation.

• Capacity: 500 liters per tank, suitable for medium-to-large scale production demands.

• Construction Material: Entire tank constructed from SUS304 stainless steel, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and full compliance with food-grade sanitation standards.

• Heating System: Equipped with a steam jacket for efficient and uniform heating of the sugar slurry. The tank is supplied with a certificate of pressure vessel, guaranteeing safety and compliance with industrial regulations.

• Agitation System: Fitted with a scraper stirrer that continuously sweeps the tank walls, preventing sugar from scorching or sticking during the dissolving process, and promoting homogeneous mixing.

• Pneumatic Control: Utilizes AIRTAC solenoid valves for reliable and responsive control of steam and other media flows, enhancing operational safety and automation.

 

Buffer Tank

• Quantity: 2 units configured in parallel, ensuring a consistent and uninterrupted syrup supply to downstream cooking and depositing processes.

• Capacity: 300 liters per tank, adequately sized to accommodate fluctuations between upstream dissolution and downstream production speeds.

• Construction Material: Entire tank fabricated from SUS304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and meeting strict food-grade hygiene requirements.

• Temperature Maintenance: Equipped with a hot water jacket that circulates heated water around the tank, effectively maintaining syrup temperature and preventing premature crystallization or viscosity rise prior to cooking.

• Agitation System: Fitted with an agitator for gentle and continuous stirring, ensuring uniform temperature distribution and consistent syrup solids content throughout the tank.

• Pneumatic Control: Uses AIRTAC solenoid valves for precise, reliable control of hot water and media flows, facilitating automated and maintenance-friendly operation.

 

Continuous Microfilm Cooker

• Quantity: 2 units in parallel configuration, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted cooking capacity to match downstream depositing speeds.

• Capacity: 300 kg/h per unit, ideally suited for medium-scale hard candy production lines.

• System Composition: Each cooker integrates a steam coil cooking tank and a microfilm cooking tank in series, enabling rapid, efficient, and uniform heat transfer for high-quality candy cooking.

• Steam Control: Equipped with SPIRAX SARCO steam valves, delivering precise and reliable steam flow regulation for optimal cooking temperature and energy efficiency.

• Control & Automation: Powered by SIEMENS PLC and Emerson inverters, with a Wenview touch screen HMI for intuitive operation, real-time monitoring, and parameter adjustment.

• Electrical Components: Featuring SCHNEIDER electrical components throughout, ensuring long-term durability, safety, and stable performance in demanding production environments.

• Vacuum System: Incorporates an ABS water ring vacuum pump for efficient moisture removal during the cooking process, achieving the desired final solids content.

• Frame Construction: Built on a robust stainless steel frame, providing excellent structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and compliance with food-grade hygiene standards.

 

Hard Candy Depositing Machine

• Depositing System: High-precision servo depositor, delivering 80 pieces per stroke for consistent weight and shape.

• Hoppers: Equipped with 2 hoppers, supporting multi-color or multi-flavor production with quick changeover.

• Mold Specification: Designed for 670mm molds, outputting 550 pieces per complete set.

• In-line Mixing: Integrated online mixers continuously blend cooked syrup with color, flavor, and acid just prior to depositing, ensuring homogeneity and protecting heat-sensitive ingredients.

• Cooling Tunnel: Forced-air cooling tunnel designed to interface with customer-supplied AC units for efficient product setting.

• Control System: Siemens PLC with WENVIEW touch screen HMI for intuitive operation and real-time monitoring.

• Drives: Siemens servo system for precise motion control and reliable synchronization.

• Electrical Components: SCHNEIDER components throughout for robust, long-term performance.

• Frame: Stainless steel construction, ensuring corrosion resistance and food-grade compliance.
