Gummy applications
Jelly & gummy manufacturing solutions
Coperion offers fully integrated, starch-free gummy and jelly production systems designed to deliver precise dosing, fast changeovers, and hygienic processing. Our advanced technology supports consistent quality and efficiency for gummies and jellies used in food, health, and pharmaceutical industries.
Starch-free manufacturing technologies for clean-label premium jelly & gummy positioning
Coperion’s starch-free gummy and jelly production offers a cleaner and more efficient alternative to traditional starch molding. This results in a final product with a powder-free appearance and smoother surface.
Hygienic benefits of starch-free lines
Starch-free manufacturing also offers benefits in term of hygiene, precision, and flexibility: Coperion’s system eliminates the drying step and reduces contamination risks, making it ideal for gummies and jellies in food, health, and nutraceutical applications.
From lab-scale to full industrial production lines
Whether producing small batches or scaling up, manufacturers benefit from faster changeovers, consistent quality, and the ability to handle heat-sensitive ingredients with confidence. This streamlined process helps future-proof gummy and jelly production and supports innovation.
Adding value with premium end product characteristics
Coperion offers multiple options that allow to further increase your product positioning: multi-color appearance, center-fills, inclusions, 3D shapes and innovative coatings can that enhance gummy and jelly variety

How jelly & gummy production works
Ingredient handling
Shick Esteve Bag dump stations provide a safe, dust-free way to manually add dry ingredients.
For liquid ingredients, such as glucose syrup, are temporarily stored in Shick Esteve Tank systems, or Shick Esteve Tote systems, and then delivered through pumps.
The main mixing process takes place in the Shick Esteve Slurry Prep Skid, where ingredients are blended efficiently to ensure consistent quality and smooth processing.
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 prepares syrup with precision and consistency, while accommodating various formulations, for small batches and high-output continuous production.
For high output and specialty recipes, the Baker Perkins Microfilm™ cooker offers vacuum thin-film technology for rapid, gentle cooking of heat-sensitive ingredients.
Other options include the Baker Perkins Turbofilm™ cooker, a compact unit combining syrup dissolving and cooking for high-output gummy lines, the Baker Perkins Turbofilm™ mini cooker for small-scale continuous processing and the Baker Perkins JellyCook™ batch cooker for small batch production or lab use.
All systems are designed for hygienic operation, consistent quality, and seamless integration with depositing equipment.
Depositing
This step shapes and forms the gummies and jellies using starch-free moulds for superior hygiene and product variety.
- Baker Perkins ServoForm™ gummy/jelly depositors are designed for efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility.
- Baker Perkins ServoForm™ jelly is ideal for functional or medicated gummies/jellies requiring high validation.
- Baker Perkins ServoForm™ mini supports small batch or lab-scale runs.
- Baker Perkins ServoForm™ flexi provides adjustable setting times from minutes to hours, offering output up to 1,000 kg/hr.
Baker Perkins CFA systems can be integrated for precise colour/flavour dosing, minimizing waste, and enabling rapid product changeovers.
Cooling tunnel
Cooling & finishing
The final step in gummy and jelly production is cooling and finishing. Gabler Cooling tunnel cool the gummies to the right texture and firmness. They offer pre-cooling, intercooling, and final cooling options. These options fit different production needs and can handle up to 2,500 kg per hour.
For finishing, the automatic Gabler Pan coating machine applies sugar, sour, or other flavor coatings evenly and quickly. These machines have precise spray control and recipe management. This ensures consistent quality and makes it easy to adjust for new gummy and jelly types or production sizes.
