Depositor systems for all depositable and demouldable masses will be presented, reflecting the diversity of WDS plants. From the laboratory scale to the large-scale plant, WDS offers confectionery machines for all capacity and manufacturing requirements. Especially for the OTC sector, WDS presents depositor systems made of hygienic full stainless steel: a true innovation!
Thanks to the EasyClean design of WDS plants and the use of adapted service trolleys, it is easy to change parts that come into contact with the mass as well as to completely replace a depositor system, e.g. for external cleaning or for a large variety of products using exchange systems.
The product- and system-specific program parts demonstrate the extraordinary quality standards of Winkler and Dünnebier confectionery machines. High vertical integration and top-quality material processing are reflected in the dosing and process precision of WDS plants. Last but not least, extensive know-how and many years of experience with various masses and technologies enable WDS to process special masses with sensitive additives in the field of OTC confectionery, supplements and nutraceuticals in a way that is both gentle on the product and reproducible.
With its sweetOTC label, WDS is an established supplier in the OTC sector and will be informing customers at ProSweets about complete customised solutions in a GMP-qualified design. This covers the entire value chain, from brainstorming and the development of individual confectionery products to specially adapted production processes.
As a specialised WDS division, sweetOTC focuses on developing new depositing and moulding processes in confectionery production and has been significantly expanded to promote innovation and efficiency. WDS already significantly expanded its in-house technical centre some time ago to meet increasing demands.
WDS plants feature consistent hygienic design optimisations that prevent contamination and cross-contamination. Supplemented by risk assessments (FMEA) and a comprehensive qualification concept, the plants are the ideal choice for anyone who would like to exploit the opportunity potential and growth in the area of innovative and alternative dosage forms in confectionery production.
The confectionery industry is facing multiple challenges that are difficult to overcome by individual companies alone. WDS is a founding member of the multi-vendor SweetConnect initiative, which will present ready-to-use digitisation solutions successfully tested by the industry at ProSweets this year. The innovative digital platform is steadily growing and driving the digitalisation of the confectionery industry.
