Efficient  process  solutions for  confectionery  innovation  

Coperion’s Food, Health & Nutrition Division offers integrated, automated confectionery systems to optimize every stage of production through its Baker Perkins, K-Tron, Gabler Engineering, Kemutec, and Shick Esteve technologies. Our solutions seamlessly integrate weighing, feeding, sifting, milling, conveying, cooking, depositing, extruding, and cooling, enabling complete plant automation from raw ingredients to the finished, delicious product.  

Coperion delivers:   

High-quality products and unbeatable productivity 
We offer comprehensive process lines for a diverse range of high-quality hard candies, lollipops, gummies, and soft confectionery. Our advanced automation and efficient systems ensure optimal production, helping to keep product costs minimized while maintaining exceptional quality.   

Scalable solutions 
Our integrated technology is highly efficient across any throughput from 50kg/hour to 2,400kg/hour, unlike solutions that are limited by rate or only cost-effective at large scales.  

Ingredient handling with minimal degradation 
Advanced technology for handling and processing cocoa and milk powders, granulated and liquid sweeteners, salts and starches, while minimizing degradation  

Coperion’s innovative offerings empower confectionery manufacturers to push creative boundaries while maintaining economic and operational advantages. For instance, our patented lollipop stick placing system stands out in the industry for its exceptional quality and productivity. Additionally, we enhance ingredient value by efficiently processing inexpensive raw materials, such as grinding granulated sugar into fine powders like 6x, 10x, or 12x, which are typically more costly and challenging to convey. Our advanced sifting and de-lumping solutions further optimize ingredient utilization, reducing waste and improving overall process efficiency.  

Depositing into silicone or solid molds is the modern, efficient and hygienic alternative to traditional processes such as starch molding, die forming and cut-and-wrap. Our Baker Perkins starch-free depositing process solutions are highly automated with virtually no waste and no molding starch to clean, dry and recycle resulting in minimized product costs, even at low volumes. Mold materials and construction are carefully chosen to match the characteristics of the product and deliver high-quality candies with a uniform size, shape and weight and with a glossy finish and smooth texture.  

Coperion Innovation Centers in the US and UK offer the opportunity for testing, recipe development, training and a variety of other services.
