FFW 0400
Molding Machine – small to medium capacities

A shaping machine from the FFW technology range (molding technology).

Jellies precisely formed in 12 seconds, without additional curing times in a fully automated process. Any shape is possible/flat bottom. No trays. Patent pending. Starting with volumes less than 450 kg/1.000 lb per hour or batches from 10 kg/22 lb. Formulations are dosed into rotating molds at temperatures below 85 °C/ 185°F, a solid state is reached within seconds. This technology can handle very high viscosities as well as product masses with rather low water activity (aw <0.6). Further curing times can – depending on individual recipes - in many cases simply be skipped.

Further curing times may be in many cases – depending on individual recipes – simply be skipped. Post-processing of the products can start immediately. FFW 0400 is perfect for the production of gummies made from 100 % fruit. Highly sensitive ingredients will be exposed to elevated temperatures for only a minimum of time – just right for the production of nutraceuticals. Insertion of real fruit pieces possible. This technology may be combined with a wide range of kitchen equipment or be integrated into existing lines. It can meet demands of food, chemical and pharma industries.
