One integrated process for candy bar production
Candy bar lines are often built section by section. Cooking, aeration, slab forming, cooling, cutting and enrobing may each come from different suppliers, with every interface introducing additional complexity into the process.
That complexity typically becomes visible during production.
Masses behave differently between process stages. Layer definition becomes inconsistent. Product giveaway increases during slitting and cutting. Changeovers require additional tuning between machines. Small process deviations upstream can quickly affect coating quality and final product consistency downstream.
The latest integrated candy bar solution from Tanis Confectionery is designed to address exactly those challenges. The concept combines Tanis confectionery process technology with downstream chocolate expertise from Aasted into one coordinated production line delivered under the Tanis brand.
Instead of optimizing individual machines separately, the line is engineered as one synchronized production process — from mass preparation and aeration to slab forming, cooling, slitting and enrobing.
Improve your process control
Nougat, caramel, protein masses and layered products can be handled more consistently throughout production, helping manufacturers maintain texture, layer accuracy and product quality at industrial scale. Because process sections are integrated from the start, the line also reduces unnecessary interfaces between suppliers, controls and mechanical systems.
The compact line design helps reduce factory footprint requirements while improving accessibility and production flow. At the same time, optimized forming and cutting contribute to lower product waste during operation.
The solution is designed for a broad range of applications, including:
- one- and multi-layer candy bars
- protein and functional nutrition bars
- caramel and nougat products
- bars with nuts or inclusions
- cereal-based products
An important part of the concept is process validation before investment. Through the Tanis Innovation Centre, manufacturers can test complete bar recipes and production concepts under industrial conditions before implementation.
As product portfolios continue to expand and recipes become more complex, stable integration between process stages is becoming increasingly important. The Tanis candy bar solution is designed around that reality: one coordinated process from mass preparation to finished chocolate-coated bar.
