Confectionery of gum and jelly is very popular with the consumers. With the WDS plants there is hardly any limit in the manufacture of attractive products. Combine exceptional shapes with the widest variety of colour and filling possibilities and produce confectionery that stands out on the markets.
Hard candies are not only expected to taste good but also have to be attractive in shape and colour with sophisticated fillings. With the WDS Manufacturing plants you are able to create attractive products and you will always meet the taste of consumers – worldwide.
Confectionery products made of fondant and toffee are not only expected to taste good but also have to be attractive in shape and colour with sophisticated fillings. With the WDS Manufacturing plants you are able to create attractive products and you will always meet the taste of consumers – worldwide.
OTC sweets are innovative products with health-promoting and biologically effective properties due to the addition of different ingredients.
Maximum confectionery production through WDS LifeCycleCare. You too can benefit from the unbeatable potential of WDS Service.
Cross-manufacturer platform for the central monitoring and optimisation of the complete production
The WDS SmartMould is a measuring mould for detection and monitoring mechanical influencing variables on the polycarbonate mould in chocolate plants, e.g. for the following areas of application:
The SmartMould is an ordinary polycarbonate mould that is prepared with sensors and measuring technology and passes through your chocolate plant from the mould's perspective. This means that the entire plant, including areas that are difficult to see such as the refrigerator, demoulding station and vibration, can be inspected. By recording the entire plant, the data can be analysed better than with data collection using statically installed sensors.
Sensors are used according to customer requirements:
Protected sensor technology
The entire electronics, including the wiring, are poured with resin and are therefore protected.
HMI integration
The recorded data is checked immediately and the results are displayed in the HMI.
DeepField software
Detailed insights into the data with many options for sensor selection, zooming and panning.
Application example: non-parallel chains
The SmartMould recognises chain transitions with non-parallel chains by the fact that the mould rotates around the vertical axis.
Application example: temperature curve in the refrigerator
The SmartMould continuously supplies temperature data when it moves through the refrigerator. That was already different several times than previously thought!
Application example: cross-plant comparison
Vibration sections, demoulding stations and cross outs are compared across all plants. Customers are notified of extraordinary loads.
