The candy making machine production line integrates mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic control systems to complete the full‑set candy processing procedures, including sugar cooking, depositing, cooling & shaping, and demolding. Boasting an hourly production capacity ranging from 10‑70 kg/h, it can produce various candies with a single‑piece weight of 2‑10 g.
Simply by replacing molds, it is capable of manufacturing a wide range of products such as gummy candies, hard candies, lollipops, filled candies, and burst‑center filled candies.
Our candy making machine is suitable for both new‑product R&D and sample testing in laboratories, as well as mass production in small‑and‑medium‑sized factories. It serves as a cost‑effective overall candy‑forming solution for small and medium‑scale candy projects.
Candy forming mold types and customization
This candy making machine works with multiple food‑grade molds featuring good thermal conductivity, easy demolding, and long service life for nearly all candy shapes.
- Flat Depositing Molds: Commonly used for gummies and hard candies. Available for single‑sided shapes such as bears, hearts and animals. Easy to clean and ensure consistent candy weight batch‑to‑batch.
- 3D Stereoscopic Molds: Hinged two‑piece molds for complex full‑3D candies like dolls and cartoon characters—accurate positioning for clean demolding.
- Flat Lollipop Molds: Built‑in stick positioning slots. Customizable for round, logo and other shapes. Sticks stay well‑centered for ready‑to‑pack finished products.
- Combined Continuous Molds: Long‑format modular plates with multiple shapes on one mold. Compatible with conveyors for long‑run mass production.
Custom molds are available. Regular styles are in stock. No extra mold‑opening fee for new designs upon meeting MOQ requirements.
What types of candies can the equipment produce?
Compatible with raw materials such as sugar, fructose‑glucose syrup, gelatin, pectin, carrageenan, starch, flavors, colorants, and vitamins. This candy making machine supports diversified candy development, covering gummies, hard candies, lollipops, and other specialty candies.
- Gummy Candies: Gelatin / pectin / carrageenan / starch gummies; fruit, yogurt, vitamin and probiotic gummies; bear, cartoon, 3D‑stereo and peelable gummies.
- Hard Candies: Fruit, mint and pear‑paste hard candies; filled, two‑color / three‑color, crystal and patterned hard candies.
- Lollipops: Flat, spherical, 3D‑shaped, two‑color, hawthorn and pear‑paste lollipops.
- Other Candies: Toffees, milk candies, nougats; center‑filled soft candies, burst candies, chocolate‑filled candies, wax candies and jelly candies.
What is the complete candy production process?
The core equipment of this semi‑automatic candy production line includes sugar cooking pot, candy depositing machine, candy molds, and demoulding machine.
Four key procedures from raw materials to finished candies:
- Raw Material Cooking: Put sugar, syrup, gelatin, flavors, colorants and other raw materials into the sugar cooking pot. Heat and stir to prepare qualified candy mass.
- Quantitative Depositing: Transfer candy mass to the depositing machine, which accurately fills candy mass into molds under preset parameters to form candy blanks.
- Cooling & Shaping: Send filled molds to cooling area. The candy mass cools and solidifies into target shapes.
- Automatic Demoulding: The demoulding machine ejects finished candies after cooling. Candies are then ready for packaging.
