WDS: machine concept for more efficient production

This year’s focus of the trade fair appearance of Winkler und Dünnebier Süßwarenmaschinen GmbH (WDS) was the latest generation of the modular designed ConfecEco line (image) for smaller production capacities. Eye-catcher at the booth was a functional ConfecEco-D machine. The ConfecEco machine concept is specially designed for start-up companies or small and medium-sized confectionery manufacturers who want to counteract a high manual and labour-intensive share of production by automatic applications in order to increase their turnover. The series consists of three modularly designed execution stages which enable a cost-effective increase in production of high-quality chocolate, pectin, toffee and fondant products. In the latest stage of development, ConfecEco systems have the possibility of starchless moulding into silicone moulds. For users, this means a significant plus, because with pectin, toffee and fondant products, the mass depositing into starch moulds requires a high degree of complexity. •
