Sinofude lollipop production line

Lollipops appeal to a wide range of different consumers, from adults looking for a tactile treat to children attracted by novelty shapes. The confectionery sector is constantly developing and improving its processing with lollipops and meeting customer demand, recipe changes and technological advancements to offer the best solution in this sector.

As well as ball lollipops, Sinofude supplies high-capacity ServoForm systems for 3-Dimensional, double ball and flat lollipops in a variety of shapes. Flat lollipops are ideal carriers of character merchandising linked to television, films and video games. Depositing provides a very clear image on high-quality candy, allowing premium positioning.

Varying the colours, flavours, patterns, fillings and textures gives the potential for an almost unlimited product variety to stimulate and sustain the interest of consumers.

The one-shot depositing action of the ServoForm depositor can combine up to four colours and components in a single piece to produce a wide range of attractive products that have exciting taste and texture combinations. Multi-colours can be made in stripes, layers and random patterns. Hard or soft centre-fills can be incorporated, to add a range of textures with every possible.

Compared with conventional techniques such as die forming and the starch mogul, starch-free depositing brings substantial quality and choice benefits for both lollipops and candies.

"Superior appearance, high clarity and rapid flavour release with a smooth 'mouthfeel' are some of the key quality advantages created by depositing compared with a starch mogul or die forming. There is also much greater flexibility," says Kate.

The nature of the depositing process creates complete control throughout the system, leading to extremely high dimensional, shape and weight accuracy, negligible scrap rates and efficient wrapping, plus maximum hygiene with low maintenance.

Sinofude supplies complete, automated confectionery cooking and depositing plants, used extensively for hard candies, lollipops, toffees, caramels, fudge and fondant. High output and high efficiency with greater quality and production flexibility, low production costs and hygienic operation are the main benefits that depositing brings to these sectors compared to conventional methods such as die forming, starch mogul or cut-and-wrap.
