Jelly & Gummies

Jelly & Gummies

A high-efficiency continuous cooker designed for sugar and sugar-free confectionery. Delivers consistent cooking performance using a flexible, modular design.

As demand for jelly sweets and gummies continues to grow, Baker Perkins enables manufacturers to scale production without compromising quality. Unlike traditional starch mogul systems, which rely on starch handling and large drying rooms, our commercial gummy making machines eliminate unnecessary complexity and cost from the process.

Starch mogul systems have long been used for high-volume gummy production, but they introduce significant operational challenges, including cross-contamination risk, high energy consumption, long cycle times and inconsistent product quality. These limitations become increasingly restrictive as manufacturers expand into nutraceuticals and centre-filled gummies.

Baker Perkins’ commercial gummy making machines address these challenges directly by delivering:

  • Reduced production costs and shorter processing times
  • Fully automatic wash-through cleaning for fast, hygienic changeovers
  • Consistently perfect chewy texture across long production runs
  • Precision depositing capable of complex, high-margin gummy designs

Products are deposited at final moisture and final solids, removing the need for drying rooms entirely. This reduces factory footprint, energy consumption and manual handling, while improving consistency and hygiene.

Delivered as a fully integrated production line, Baker Perkins systems allow manufacturers to increase output and reduce labour dependency.

Autofeed

The Autofeed system accurately weighs and mixes up to 16 dry and liquid ingredients to create a slurry. Ingredients are automatically fed into the mixer via weigh hoppers to maintain consistency from batch to batch. The mixed slurry is then supplied via twin reservoir tanks, providing a continuous, stable feed to the cooker.

Turbofilm™ Cooker

The Turbofilm™ Cooker uses heat-exchange technology to dissolve sugars and hydrate starch under tightly controlled conditions. The cooked mass then passes through a jet cooker, where a rapid pressure drop ensures thorough cooking, so products are ready for downstream processing.

Colour / Flavour Addition

Colours and flavours are introduced directly into the cooked syrup using a controlled gravity split feed system. Each colour and flavour addition unit is tailored to the required level of automation and depositing performance, ensuring uniform dispersion, repeatable results and fast changeovers.

ServoForm™ Jelly Depositor

The ServoForm™ Jelly Depositor deposits syrup at final moisture directly into silicone or metal moulds, followed by controlled cooling. Because products are deposited at final solids, no drying stage is required. Clip-in moulds allow rapid, low-cost changeovers and enable the efficient production of 2D and 3D jellies with consistent shape and weight.

 Gummy Product Variations

Nutraceutical & Functional Gummies

Baker Perkins systems are designed for gummies requiring precise, repeatable dosing of active ingredients. This includes vitamins, minerals and supplements (like Omega-3 and probiotics) where accuracy and consistency are critical.

Oiled Jellies

Standard Gelatin Gummies

Our gummy making equipment delivers consistent, high-quality production of classic gelatin gummies, including traditional gummy bears and other chewy formats. Precise cooking and depositing ensure uniform texture, shape and weight across long production runs.

Gelatin Gummies

Advanced Structures

The depositing process enables a wide range of complex gummy designs, including solid and centre-filled products, and 3D shapes. Multi-colour and multi-component stripes or layers can be produced with high accuracy and repeatability too.

Pectin & Carrageenan Jellies

Pectin & Carrageenan Jellies

In addition to gelatin, Baker Perkins systems support pectin- and carrageenan-based jelly formulations. These plant-based, gelatin alternatives are ideal for vegetarian and vegan products while maintaining soft or chewy textures.

Fruit Snakcs & Pectins
