Characteristics:

  • Hygienic design

  • Simple construction principle

  • Free access for cleaning, disinfection and check

  • No hidden construction areas

  • Application of the 3D rule

  • High demands on the surface quality

  • Good emptying of residues

  • Short dwell times of mass, level-controlled mass supply,

  • First-in-first-out concept

  • Risk-based approach across the entire development and qualification phase (DQ / IQ / OQ / PQ)

Plants for jelly products

Our production plants are suitable for active effective OTC-sweets manufactured on the base of pectin, gum arabic, gelatine, agar-agar, carrageenan as well as liquorice, fondant, cream, marshmallow foam and similar items. Furthermore, the equipment is suitable for depositing liqueur. The machines work by the FFP method (Fast-forward process) - co-developed by WDS - and provide a hygienic fruit gum production without starch powder.

Characteristics:

  • Cost-efficient
    production by standardization and modular design
  • Unique workmanship
    with stainless steel and rust-proof materials
  • Various depositing processes
    thanks to a large variety of depositing systems
  • Easy access for maintenance
    amongst others by extractable sifting station
  • Delivery of complete systems 
    with starch-conditioning equipment, cooling tunnel and subsequent oiling or sugar-sanding processes

Plants for the production of fondant, toffee, jelly and hard candy products

Our depositing machines for hard candies are compact, modular systems for the production of a wide variety of products that not only taste good, but can also convince in shape and colour as well as with refined fillings. With these manufacturing plants, you can produce attractive new OTC-sweets that will impress the end customer in taste and effectiveness.

Characteristics

  • Innovative process technology
    fondant, toffee and jelly products on one plant
  • Loose mould line 
    with automatic mould exchange station
  • High product output
    by high line speed with best availability
  • Compact design
    effective production with reduced space requirements
  • Various depositing processes
    optionally Mono, One-Shot or Triple-Shot

Depositors for product and process development

These depositors are perfect for product and process development of various OTC- and supplement sweets. They are equipped with special depositing heads and enable the production of articles with different masses. The machines area servo-electric controlled and equipped with a menu-based operator guidance. Equipped with these depositing and control systems, comparable to those of our large manufacturing plants, all pourable masses with tear-off behaviour can be processed precisely.

Characteristics:

  • Standard depositor with 3 servo-electrical piston drives for Mono, One-Shot and Triple-Shot dosing
  • 3 servo-electrical movement axes x-, y-, z-axis
  • Servo-electrical mould
    transport adjustable to different mould sizes
  • Maximum hygiene
    by “EasyClean” execution
  • Operating panel
    with clear Touch Screen programme storage, multilingual
  • Easy and mobile design
    electrical cabinet and tempering unit integrated in the frame
  • Separate heating circuits (for filling- and shell masses), temperature range: 20–150 °C
  • Free of lacquer
    mainly stainless steel and aluminium

Good manufacture practice – Safety for products with biologically active additives and OTC medicines

When adding substances that have an impact on the human organism, strict legal and hygienic requirements do apply.

In addition to high-precision cooking, dosing, cooling and moulding processes, these products require a suitable GMP concept (good manufacture practice) for the entire plant, i.e. precise and documentable dosing of the additives, effective and hygienic cleaning and the avoidance of cross-contamination.

Plant qualification in accordance with applicable GMP regulations

  • DQ – Design Qualification
  • IQ – Installation Qualification
  • OQ – Operational Qualification
  • PQ Performance Qualification

To avoid cross contamination e.g. fruit gums with biologically active additives, also called medical gums, or OTC medicines can only be deposited in washable silicone moulds or directly into packaging

The FFP process (Fast Forward Process), co-developed by WDS, therefore works with conventional or commercially available gelatine, which, thanks to its special composition, has fast setting properties, which is primarily responsible for the texture and haptic properties later on.
