Freeze-Dried Candy Production Room
A single QS-FD-20 running short cycles lets a confectionery brand puff and crisp hard candies, marshmallows and taffy several times a day in a small room.
- Main equipment
- QS-FD-20
- Shelf area
- ≈ 20 m²
- Cycles
- 2–3 per day
- Load
- ≈ 4–6 kg/m² per batch
Project goal
Turn standard candy into puffed, crunchy freeze-dried candy with short cycles and a small footprint.
Process flow
- Candy preparation & portioning
- Tray loading with expansion space
- Short freeze-dry cycle in QS-FD-20
- Cooling & inspection
- Packing in high-barrier pouches
Design decisions
- Short, recipe-controlled cycles stored on the PLC.
- Trays loaded lightly so candy can expand.
- Compact layout fits a standard production unit.
Utilities
380 V or 220 V power (confirmed at quotation), air-cooled condensing, standard ventilation.
