If you’re new to gummy manufacturing and equipment selection, this guide will help you choose the optimal configuration. Standard metal mold depositing lines are ideal for pectin, gelatin, or carrageenan-based recipes. For modified starch or low-gelling-agent formulations, a starch mogul line is the better recommendation.

Understanding Common Gelling Agents

Pectin

Source: Extracted from citrus peels, apple pomace, and other plant materials.
Advantages: Plant-based, vegan-friendly, heat-resistant, clean and non-sticky mouthfeel.
Disadvantages: High sensitivity to sugar and acid levels; requires precise process control.
Drying Conditions: 35–50°C for 12–24 hours.

Gelatin

Source: Derived from animal bones and skins.
Advantages: Chewy, elastic texture (Q-bounce), melts in mouth, highly stable recipes, broadest application range.
Disadvantages: Animal origin, heat-sensitive, demands strict temperature control.
Drying Conditions: 25–30°C for 24–45 hours.

Carrageenan

Source: Extracted from red algae and other marine plants.
Advantages: Plant-based, strong gel formation, fast setting, high transparency.
Disadvantages: Slightly brittle texture, often used in blends, prone to syneresis (water separation).
Drying Conditions: 18–40°C for 18–30 hours.

Different gelling agents and recipes require specific cooking equipment and affect depositing speed.

Pectin Cooking Process

Pectin cooking is complex but uses simple equipment. Its heat tolerance allows combined sugar-pectin cooking for small batches. YT systems feature homogenizers for uniform dispersion; high-speed mixing may generate bubbles, so vacuum cooking or degassing is recommended for best results (if budget permits), followed by flavor and color addition.

Entry-level: Electric jacketed kettles with homogenizer — easy to install and operate, heated via jacket medium, with added outer insulation for safety.
High-capacity or rapid heating: Steam-heated systems are the preferred choice.

Gelatin Cooking Process

Gelatin degrades or sets prematurely at high temperatures, requiring cooling before addition. After preparing sugar syrup, use a cooling tank to lower temperature, then add pre-dissolved gelatin. For small batches, soak and dissolve gelatin overnight to cut labor. Larger setups benefit from integrated weighing and chilled water systems for efficiency and energy optimization.

Undecided on pectin, gelatin, or carrageenan — especially for OEM/private label? YT offers versatile piping and design adaptations for multi-gelling compatibility. Contact us for expert guidance.

Weighing Display & PLC Integration Upgrade

For enhanced accuracy, add our weighing display system to monitor weights of liquids and powders in real time — reducing manual repetition. Fully compatible with PLC smart control and seamless integration with automatic depositing machines.

Quick-Release Flavor & Color Mixing System

Traditional inline mixers with layered insulation and mechanical seals are difficult to clean fully, risking residues. YT’s quick-release design matches flow rates, uses simple, cost-effective mechanics, and allows optional insulation/stirring in additive tanks for pre-emulsification of actives.

Benefits:

• Eliminates under/over/mis-dosing by operators.
• Dust-free, hygienic, GMP-compliant operation.
• Full data traceability for regulatory audits.
• Saves 1–2 operators per line.

150kg/h Fully Automatic Metal Mold Depositing Production Line

150kg/h capacity with PLC full automation and continuous metal mold depositing. Seamlessly integrates with automatic weighing/cooking, rising film cooker, and precision flavor/color dosing — achieving true end-to-end automation from syrup to finished gummies.

Key features:

• Servo Depositing Head: Dual/multi-hopper for single-color, two-color, center-filled, or swirled depositing.
• 20 nozzles, 15–35 cycles/minute.
• Food-grade aluminum alloy / stainless steel or silicone molds; quick-release clamps for fast shape changes.
• Automatic mold oil spraying: atomized for anti-stick and smooth demolding.
• Advanced servo screw depositing with variable frequency control for precise, stable fill weights.
• Full-coverage cooling tunnel (0–10°C adjustable) for rapid setting; upgradeable to multi-layer or extended length for gelatin or heavy gummies.
• Multi-stage demolding: pneumatic ejection + flip, air knives, roller brushes — zero damage or sticking.
• Intelligent touchscreen: 100+ recipe storage, one-key recall, visual workflow, error diagnostics, remote upgrades.
• Closed-loop control of temperature, speed, and weight for error-proof, traceable production.
• CIP automatic cleaning for hoppers, pipes, and heads — meets GMP hygiene standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the footprint of the complete line?
A: Total length ≈11–18m, height ≈2m; net equipment area ≈15m × 4m = 60㎡. Depositor fixed at 1.2×11m; cooking can be placed alongside or upstairs (≈3×5m). Drying rooms vary by gelling agent — typically at least 2 rooms, each ≈20㎡. Contact YT for standardized or custom factory layout drawings.

Q: What are the energy requirements?
A: With steam: cooking ≈15–45kW, steam 30–80L, compressed air 0.8MPa. Without steam: main unit ≈25kW, air 0.8MPa / 30L. Other modules optional. Reach out for free customized energy and layout planning.

Q: Can this line produce other types of candy?
A: Yes — core depositing pours syrup into molds for hard candy, lollipops, etc. Different products require recipe-specific cooking and auxiliaries. Dedicated lines are usually more efficient than complex multi-use setups — contact YT for the best economical multi-functional design.

Q: Is depositing servo-controlled?
A: Yes — fully upgraded servo depositing with servo screw drive: higher precision, lower noise, fewer parts, longer lifespan.

Q: What types of molds are available?
A: Standard metal (aluminum with Teflon coating) or silicone (stainless-supported). Also 3D/立体 molds (two- or three-piece) for 4D shapes, lollipops, or toy candies.

Q: Can you customize molds for my gummies?
A: Yes — we’ve produced creative custom designs and offer sampling to realize your concepts.

Q: How to choose metal, silicone, or starch molds?
A: Metal is most popular and durable. Push-pin demolding may transfer patterns or break fragile gels; silicone eases release but wears faster. Starch molds enable broader processes (mogul line) — contact YT for in-depth comparison.

Q: Mold fixing and changeover?
A: Screw fixing (secure, slower) or quick-release (faster, shorter accessory life). Use screws for few shapes; quick-release for frequent changes. Composite multi-shape molds reduce swaps and costs.

Q: Electrical standards?
A: CE-compliant (Siemens, Schneider, etc.). UL/CSA upgrades available.

Q: PLC and programming?
A: Yaskawa, Fuji, or Siemens PLCs with 100+ recipes, tiered access, reports, AI diagnostics, and optional remote updates.

Q: How do you differ from other suppliers?
A: In-depth explanations, proven recipes, and client-tailored economics — we focus on real needs over mass production.

Q: Are you a factory? Where?
A: Yes — factory located in Shanghai.

Q: Overseas services?
A: Full installation, commissioning, recipe training — saving your R&D time and costs.

Q: Door-to-door shipping?
A: Optimal sea/air plans; door-to-door for countries like the US, handling customs and tariffs seamlessly.

Q: Showrooms or factory visits?
A: Select international showrooms; we strongly recommend visiting our Shanghai factory for hands-on operation, training, and detailed discussions.

Q: Is the machine food-safe?
A: Yes — full SUS304 stainless steel contact parts, non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, meets global standards. SUS316 upgrade available.

Q: Warranty?
A: Comprehensive coverage for defects, plus dedicated support team.

Q: Factory layout design or equipment repair?
A: Yes — custom designs, upgrades, and maintenance for other brands. If you’ve had issues with low-quality machines, let us help upgrade or repair.
