Tanis is one of the world’s leading suppliers of production lines for gums and jellies. The Dutch company uses its wealth of know-how in tailoring solutions to develop individual production solutions for the confectionery product desired by the customer. Its service includes everything from optimizing the customer’s recipe to piecing together the right production equipment, whatever the scale of his output may be.
Tanis supplies the complete production line from a single source. This is important since the production of gums and jellies is a very sensitive process. The manufacturer utilizes its over 25 years of experience ensuring every element in the customer’s production line is fit for its specific purpose. From preparation, cooking and blending to moulding, conditioning and finishing, each piece of expertly engineered machinery talks to the other, and to the user, so production is always perfectly orchestrated – whether he goes for one of the manufacturer’s state-of-the-art robotic systems or something with a larger degree of manual involvement.
Tanis employees accompany the customer and his product from optimizing the recipe in the company’s own laboratory to assembling and manufacturing the right production equipment to commissioning the complete production plant. Regardless of whether the customer wants to produce on an “artisanal” scale or industrially: In terms of capacity, everything from 100 kg to 7 t per hour is possible.
Currently, there is an explosion of desire for “functional” candies containing health-enhancing ingredients such as vitamins, minerals or CBD oil. While these candies can be produced on any Tanis production line, if the customer will be switching between active-ingredient recipes and wants absolute assurance of zero cross-contamination, he should choose one of the manufacturer’s non-starch lines. Some active ingredients are incompatible with certain gelling agents, but here, the company is happy to help optimize recipes in its in-house laboratory.
Using a non-starch production line is not just a great solution for guaranteed avoidance of cross-contamination, the removal of starch from the moulding process also eliminates spread of starch dust around the production facility. What’s more, the absence of a starch-handling system and reduction of conditioning rooms means less floor space is required. Available for hourly capacities of 10,000 up to 600,000 pieces, the Tanis 400S, 400M and 800 Robotic series use the company’s own, unique, non-starch plastic moulds which can be hygienically cleaned between batches to leave no residue. As always in gums and jellies production, one change can easily affect other stages in the process. Using non-starch moulds calls for different techniques elsewhere in production. These non-starch lines have been developed from start to finish to accommodate every necessary tweak.
Whether the customer is interested in producing gums and jellies with active ingredients, low sugar, special flavours and finishes or anything else, – the Tanis team will be very happy to find a solution just right for him.
