If you’re new to gummy production equipment, this overview will guide you to the ideal setup. Standard metal mold depositing lines perform best with pectin, gelatin, or carrageenan as main gelling agents. For modified starch-based or low-gel recipes, we recommend a starch mogul line for superior compatibility and results.

Essential Gelling Agents Comparison

Pectin

Source: Citrus peels, apple pomace, and other plant materials.
Advantages: Vegan-friendly, heat-resistant, refreshing non-sticky mouthfeel.
Disadvantages: Requires precise sugar/acid control; more demanding process.
Drying: 35–50°C for 12–24 hours.

Gelatin

Source: Animal bones and skins.
Advantages: Classic soft, Q-bouncy, melt-in-mouth texture; highly stable and versatile recipes.
Disadvantages: Animal origin; heat-sensitive with strict temperature control.
Drying: 25–30°C for 24–45 hours.

Carrageenan

Source: Red algae and other marine plants.
Advantages: Plant-based, rapid strong gel formation, excellent clarity.
Disadvantages: Slightly brittle feel; often needs blending; prone to water separation.
Drying: 18–40°C for 18–30 hours.

Different gelling agents and recipes require specialized cooking setups and affect depositing performance.

Pectin Cooking & Preparation

Pectin cooking is complex in control but uses simple equipment thanks to its heat tolerance — small batches allow combined sugar-pectin cooking. YT systems feature homogenizers for uniform dispersion; high-speed mixing can introduce bubbles, so vacuum cooking or degassing is recommended for top quality (budget permitting), followed by flavor/color addition.

Entry-level: Electric jacketed kettles with homogenizer — simple, safe (insulated outer layer), jacket-heated.
High-efficiency: Steam heating for rapid, large-scale production.

Gelatin Cooking & Temperature Management

Gelatin is sensitive to high heat (degradation or premature setting), requiring a cooling step. After sugar syrup preparation, add a cooling tank to lower temperature before incorporating pre-dissolved gelatin. Small-scale: prepare gelatin overnight to save labor. Larger-scale: integrate weighing and chilled water systems for efficiency.

Unsure which gelling agent to choose — especially for OEM/private label? YT provides versatile piping and design adaptations for multi-gelling balance. Contact us now for expert consultation.

Automatic Weighing & Syrup Cooking

The simplest yet most critical step: dissolve white sugar in water and cook to target Brix. YT’s automatic weighing system accurately meters liquids and powders with METTLER TOLEDO scales, plus intelligent PLC for recipe programming and visual process monitoring.

Rising Film Continuous Cooker

Fully automatic continuous rising film evaporation system for consistent high-Brix syrup — no batch changes, perfect for continuous lines.

Process: Bottom feed into vertical tubes (steam/thermal oil jacket); boiling vapor rises at high speed, forming thin 0.1–1 mm film; extreme heat transfer efficiency with seconds-long residence — ideal for pectin.

Highlights:

Metering pump + preheater for stable entry.
Vertical tube bundle (aspect ratio 100–150).
Vacuum operation protects heat-sensitive ingredients.
Optional scraper to avoid scaling.
PLC + touchscreen precise control.
3–5× faster than batch methods.
Suitable for vitamins, CBD/THC, juices.
300–1000 kg/h stable output; 30%+ energy savings.

Automatic Precision Flavor/Color/Active Dosing & Mixing

Struggling with inaccurate manual micro-dosing of flavors, colors, acids, or nutrients causing flavor drift and inconsistencies?

YT separates weighing of cooked syrup and actives, then batch-mixes — zero manual contact. LC + touchscreen + recipe management delivers clean, error-free, dust-free results. Precision levels: 0.01g / 0.1g / 1g; optional insulated/stirred tanks for pre-emulsification.

Benefits:

Eliminates dosing errors completely.
200% variance reduction vs. conventional systems.
Identical color, flavor, and active levels batch-to-batch.
GMP-compliant, hygienic, dust-free.
Traceable data for easy audits.
Saves 2–3 operators per line.
