Forming

Pre-Mixing

Dosing, weighing, and mixing of raw materials/dissolving and pre-cooking

Executive’s automatic and dissolving system represents a flexible and economical solution suitable to provide a wide range of production and installation needs. It is known for its modular structure, which can be utilized in several models depending on the application, with capacities ranging from 1000 to 3600 Kg/hour. The system can be integrated into current processing lines or it can be connected to Executive’s cooking plant (both batch and continuous) for hard boiled candies (with or without center filling), deposited candies, toffees, chews and any other type of confectionery items. Both the weighing system and the complete plant are fully automatic and are controlled with a PLC interface on a touch screen control panel. The automatic weighing and dissolving group features a double process configuration. Available are heated weighing tanks for processing sugar-free solution and a processing system for standard solution.
