Gelita: novel processing solution for fruit gummies

At this year‘s FiE, Gelita focused on smart solutions based on collagenous proteins. The leading manufacturer of gelatine and collagen peptides highlighted, for example, the various benefits of its new ”Fast Forward Process” which belongs to the company‘s Smart Technolgy portfolio.
The ”Fast Forward Process” demonstrates the power of cross-business development and, according to the company, revolutionizes gelatine gummy production. The novel solution comprises an innovative gummy formulation from Gelita, an innovative cooking process developed by Hänsel Processing and a new depositing line from WDS Winkler und Dünnebier Süßwaren­maschinen. The starch-free production method uses ­reusable silicon moulds instead of traditional starch trays, creating significant added value for customers by shortening the gelatine gummy manufacturing time from two days to just one hour, thus lowering costs and providing a cleaner working environment. •
