How fondant crème & fondant production works
(MIH systems)
Ingredient handling
Multi-Ingredient Handling (MIH systems)
Bag dump stations provide a safe, dust-free way to manually add dry ingredients such as sugar, while liquid ingredients like glucose syrup and water are stored in tanks or totes and delivered through pumps. This processes ensure safe handling and consistent delivery of raw materials for precise weighing and mixing.
Fondant cream preparation
All systems are designed for hygienic operation, consistent quality, and seamless integration with downstream depositing or forming equipment.
Bob syrup passes through the vapour separator and into a diverter arrangement. Approximately one-third of the syrup by-passes the cooling drum; the remainder is processed as fondant through the drum and fondant beater to produce a white fondant with fine crystals.
From the beater outlet fondant falls into a crème mixer where the hot bob syrup is added. Adding the extra bob syrup produces a liquid confectionery crème with fine crystals, which can be deposited. Colours, flavours, acid and frappé can be added in the crème mixing tube.
Depositing
The ServoForm™ soft confectionery depositor handles viscous fondant and fudge masses while maintaining product integrity. At the same time, it produces uniform pieces with consistent weight, shape, and surface quality.
The system processes plain, flavored, layered, enrobed, and fondant crème products. In addition, it supports flexible product design with hygienic, high-speed operation.
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 fondant & fudge production is cooling and finishing. Cooling tunnel lowers the temperature of freshly deposited fondant & fudge, ensuring they set with the correct hardness, glossy surface, and stable shape.
Finally, optional finishing equipment includes enrobing, glazing, or wrapping systems, preparing products for packaging. These systems are designed for hygienic, efficient, and high-speed operation while minimizing manual handling.
