The
continuous innovation policy of a leading supplier to the sugar
confectionery segment, and its 100 years of engineering know-how, is
offering benefits to its customers
Otto Hänsel was founded in Dresden in 1911. The company moved to
Hanover in 1948 after the end of the 2nd World War and re-built the
business. In 1952 the company’s policy of continuous innovation showed
early results when it introduced the first ever double head candy
wrapper. In the intervening years, and various corporate acquisitions
later, many other innovations and developments have followed – the
SUCROLINER in 1972, the JELLYSTAR in 1996, and the introduction of the
new JELLYBLEND in 2002.
The World’s most successful line for the continuous production of sugar-containing and sugar-free hard candies?
With more than 150 installed lines, the SUCROLINER from Klöckner Hänsel Processing
is believed to be the worlds most successful line for the continuous
production of sugar-containing and sugar-free hard candies. Up to 4,000
kg/hr of formed solid or filled hard candies is possible on the line,
which features up to four mixing screws for the simultaneous production
of four different candy masses.
The production process includes the weighing system CONTIGRAV and the
crystal-free pre-cooking of the slurry by KHPs patented CROSSFLOW
cookers. Next to this cooker, the UNIBATCH universal cooker comes into
action and can be used as a single aggregate or a component in the
complete line. The cooker works batchwise and can be applied for the
manufacture of hard candy fillings. A feature of the UNIBATCH is
cooking under over pressure and cooling via cooling water. Useful for a
number of applications is the ability to cool in the double jacket.
