This is how we work
OTC PRODUCTION LINES
We offer complete production lines or individual machinery to produce your edible or nutraceutical gummy. In the OTC 400S and 400M line we are are also able to support you with utilities. We will customize our design to suit you business needs and your plant layout, or deliver a standard production line as is!
Kitchen
The starter kitchen is the ideal first step for automating your production process. In the first phase of the process wet and dry ingredients are batch-wise dosed and mixed according to a recipe.
- Continuous coil cooker
- 1 person operation
- Optimal product control through continuous processing without risk of pre-gelling or overcooking
- Vacuumizing system to quickly lower temperature, remove air bubbles, and reduce moisture
Hand spray unit
Before you can pour your mixed batch into the mould, you will have to take care of one crucial step. The hand spray unit lets you spray a release agent like carnauba wax onto the mould. This makes it easier to demould your candy. A simple procedure, but an important one.
- Great dispersion with minimal mist
- The spray pattern ensures a smooth and precise layer
- Easily adjusted pressure, right on the gun
- Use the same nozzle for all types of release agents
- Small, flexible and durable design
- Simple and effective, thus very user friendly
Moulding
The OTC Candy non-starch moulding system is specifically designed for the purpose of producing gummies using non-starch moulds. Components of the unit also include the specially designed accurate depositing pump.
- Closed pump design, dosing independent of static pressure
- Accuracy per gummy of 0.1 grams
- Optimal product control, no long holding time (ABS) and no pre gelling
- Vacuumizer, cooling down, remove air bubbles and remove moisture
Conditioning room
This is a modular room with an integrated air handler that delivers the consistent and an equal amount of air flow across the room. The conditioning room is also equipped with desiccant dryers, to further aid in the conditioning process.
- The completely closed system eliminates external influences
- All parameters in the conditioning room are adjustable and controllable to suit the products being conditioned. Accurate control of the internal environment shortens the conditioning time and improves reproducibility of the product
De-moulding
The OTC Candy automated demoulding system allows for fast and efficient removal of the gummies from the moulds using sanitary compressed air.
- Easy two person operation
- Automated indexing of moulds through the system
- Ergonomic design which relieves operators of strains
- No manual intensive labor due to rolling of the moulds
Kitchen
The OTC Candy kitchen is specifically designed for optimized gums and jelly preparation.
- Continuous cooking
- Automatical recipe drive
- 1 person operation
- Optimal product control through continuous processing without risk of pre-gelling or overcooking
- Batch reporting
- Vacuumizing system to quickly lower temperature, remove air bubbles, and reduce moisture
Moulding
The non-starch moulding system is specifically designed for the purpose of producing gums and jellies products using non-starch moulds. Components of the unit also include the specially designed accurate depositing pump.
- In line release agent application unit
- Accuracy per gummy of 0.1 grams
- Closed pump design, dosing independent of static pressure
- Automatic indexing of trays
- Hygienic moulds
Conditioning room
This is a modular room with integrated air handler that delivers the consistent and an equal amount of air flow across the room. The conditioning room is also equipped with desiccant dryers, to further aid in the conditioning process.
- Recipe driven room environment
- Optimal air flow, desiccant drying
De-moulding
The OTC Candy automated demoulding system allows for fast and efficient removal of the gummies from the moulds using sanitary compressed air.
- No manual intensive labor
- Easy two person operation
- Automated indexing of moulds through the system
- Ergonomic design which relieves operators of strains
Sugar Sander
The sugar sander is a fully automatic system for continuous controlled sugar coating of moulded candies.
- The inner drum is manufactured from stainless steel with perforation for discharge of excess sugar into the outer drum
- Heating element and fan motor, to blow hot air into the drum to control the sugar moisture
- Supplied with electrical control cubicle, to allow the operator to adjust the equipment
- Variable speed drive is provided
- Manufactured totally out of stainless steel
Pre-mix preparation
The pre-mix preparation represents the first step in your production process. The raw base materials, generally syrup, sugar and gelling agents, are mixed together before the sugar mass can be cooked.
- Cone-shaped weigh- and mixing barrel
- Skips the pre-gelling step
Cooker
This part performs the cooking process of your pre-mixed mass. Afterwards, that mass enters a vacuum vessel to remove moisture and let the temperature decrease gradually. In addition, the amount of air bubbles is reduced.
- Choose between a coil cooker, tube-in-shell cooker or a jet cooker
- Ready for use right away, only connect pipelines, power and air flow.
Additive Blending System
The Additive Blending System is the system where the sugar mass is enriched with color, flavoring, acid and optional actives ingredients. It mixes the ingredients well to ensure consistent results, after which the mixture is ready to be poured and moulded.
- From 2 up to 6 different colors, tastes or combinations of candy at the same time
- Seperate cell for each weigh- and mixing vessel
Moulding
In the moulding line the robot places the empty trays, which are then oiled to improve releasing properties. After that, the casting pump casts the candy. Then a different robot stacks the full trays on a pallet which is automatically placed in the drying room of the next skid. The moulding skid takes care of the demoulding process as well.
- The casting pump is extremely accurate
- Accurate dosage over longer periods of time
Conditioning Rooms
The drying room is where, especially here in a non-starch setup, the candy is placed to lose moisture by drying. Kept at 15°C and 15Rh, the drying room will ensure the reliability and optimal result of this drying phase.
- Efficiency stays at a maximum
- Controlled by guaranteeing the exact temperature and Rh.
- Fast by fitting in seamlessly with the closed loop production cycle of the entire moulding line
Sugar sander
The sander adds a layer sugar by heating up the candy to make them sticky, after which they are launched through the sanding drum where the sugar is spread out, effectively adding an even layer of sugar to the outer surface of the candy.
- Three different sander sizes available to exactly match your production capacity
- The sander runs longer before requiring maintenance
