UK-based equipment and systems business Baker Perkins will be exhibiting machinery lines alongside Kemutec for the key upcoming ProSweets industry show in Cologne, Germany.
The event, from 28-31 January, will see the Peterborough firm showcase its latest depositing innovations, which were explored during a major presentation at this year’s World Confectionery Conference, for the event’s third edition held in Harrogate.
For ProSweets, the company will be in Hall 10 1, Aisle C, Stand 044, showcasing an innovative starch-free depositor plus ancillary equipment will be on show. This is designed for the growing market for functional, nutraceutical and healthcare confectionery.
The 50kg/hour ServoForm Mini+ depositor meets increasing demand for high-viscosity recipes and gummies with liquid centre filling. It can be incorporated into completely automated lines, from ingredient handling to finished product, as well as being utilised in the conventional confectionery industry.
Incorporating a servo-driven mould lift feature, the ServoForm Mini+ achieves high-accuracy positioning, and a clean separation without tailing of the thin strand of viscous syrup between one deposit and the next. The filling is prepared and deposited at ambient temperature to avoid heat degradation of high-value active ingredients.
This machine extends ServoForm depositing capability which ranges from small batch and laboratory scale equipment to fully automated high-output continuous lines
A Baker Perkins demoulder will also be on the stand. After setting, the moulds are loaded into this machine; the product is removed gently and transferred to finishing processes such as oiling, sanding and conditioning before packaging.
Furthermore, Kemutec will display the new PPS Easy-clean Air Classifier Mill. Ideal for hygiene-focused food applications such as dairy and those that require fast-paced recipe changes, most prominently Powder Coatings. The Easy-clean Air Classifier Mill combines ultra-fine, highly controlled particle size reduction with a design that enables faster, more hygienic cleaning processes.
The mill’s unique easy-clean design allows unhindered operator access to the unit’s internal workings, thereby allowing faster parts removal, more thorough cleaning and increased operational up-time.
The PPS Air Classifier Mill is used for milling and grinding heat-sensitive material and provides precise control over “particle cut point” selection, by incorporating an internal air-classifying.
