What role does Bronkhorst play in candy manufacturing? Well… there is a huge variation in candy available on the market, each brand with its own taste, texture and appearance. These features are often part of the branding of the major confectionery manufacturers. And therefore, it is important that all candy has the right taste, but also the right colouring and texture. This is the part where flow meters come in the picture…
These confectionery manufacturers buy their machines at machine builders (OEMs). One of these machine builders who is specialised in equipment for the food industry, especially in aerating, depositing, forming and mixing of fat creams, chocolate and other masses, is Haas-Mondomix B.V. (part of the Bühler group). I had the opportunity to work with them on a solution, containing ultrasonic volume flow meters, for adding additives (such as flavourings and colourings) into the main stream of the production process of candy.
