Flat lollipop machine technologies
Coperion offers fully integrated, flat lollipop production systems designed to deliver precise dosing, fast changeovers, and hygienic processing. Our advanced technology supports consistent quality and efficiency for flat lollipops used in food, health, and pharmaceutical industries.
Advanced processing solutions for flat lollipop machine production
Flat lollipops, including varieties such as solid, striped, single-color, multi-color, and filled designs, are produced efficiently using advanced depositing technology, the industry-standard method for high-quality flat lollipops.
Coperion’s advanced equipment ensures precise control over lollipop size, shape, color, and flavor, supporting both traditional and innovative recipes.
From classic single-color lollipops to multi-layered or filled designs, our integrated lines provide consistent quality and smooth scalability from lab trials to full production. For enhanced product appeal, lollipops can incorporate inclusions such as toffee, chewy centers, or other confectionery elements, and feature vibrant color and flavor combinations.
Innovative flat lollipop product ideas
Are you ready to bring to market a new generation of flat lollipops? Embossed, filled, shaped, with or without inclusions, in single tones or up to four vibrant colors, these playful treats can even take the form of characters or brand symbols. Designed to delight both taste buds and social feeds, they’re as eye-catching as they are delicious.

How flat lollipop production works
(MIH systems)
Ingredient handling
Shick Esteve Bag dump stations provide a safe, dust-free way to manually add dry ingredients.
Liquid ingredients, such as glucose, are temporarily stored in our Shick Esteve Tank systems, or Tote systems, and then delivered through pumps.
Slurry preparation
The main mixing process takes place in the Baker Perkins Autofeed. Batches of dry and liquid ingredients are accurately weighed and blended then held in a reservoir tank to provide a continuous feed to the cooker. Full batch reporting is available.
Cooking
The cooking stage transforms raw ingredients into a precise sugar mass with the right moisture content and temperature for lollipop production. This step ensures consistency, flavor, and quality across both standard and sugar-free recipes.
For sugar-free and specialty recipes, the Baker Perkins Microfilm™ cooker uses vacuum thin-film technology for rapid, gentle cooking of heat-sensitive ingredients.
For caramel-based products or recipes requiring pre-cooking, the Baker Perkins Carablend™ cooker as option provides precise, controlled cooking and consistent results.
All systems are designed for hygienic operation, consistent quality, and seamless integration with downstream forming equipment.
Depositing
Flat lollipops are shaped and formed using Baker Perkins ServoForm™ lollipop depositor. The depositor accurately fills moulds with syrup from the cooking stage, producing perfectly shaped lollipops with smooth surfaces and consistent size and weight.
The system can handle solid, striped, multi-color, or center-filled flat designs. Integrated cooling tunnels set the lollipops to the correct texture, while stick placement units insert sticks automatically for hygienic, high-speed production.
Baker Perkins Color/flavor addition (CFA) systems can be integrated for precise color/flavor dosing, minimizing waste and enabling rapid product changeovers.
Cooling tunnel
Cooling & finishing
The final step in flat lollipop production is cooling and finishing. The Gabler Cooling tunnel lowers the temperature of freshly deposited lollipops, ensuring they set with the correct hardness, glossy surface, and stable shape.
Automatic stick insertion units then place sticks accurately and hygienically, preparing lollipops for packaging. These systems are designed for high-speed, consistent production while maintaining hygiene and minimizing manual handling.
