Candy stampers are industrial equipment designed to shape, cut or stamp different types of sweets, chocolates or confectionery products. They play an important role in the large-scale production of sweets, allowing the creation of specific shapes, patterns or decorative designs. Let's explore what they're for, how they work, and some common types of candy stampers:
What are worth for:
Candy Molding:
Stamping machines are used to mold sweets into different shapes, such as geometric figures, characters or personalized designs.
Chocolate Decoration:
They are used to decorate chocolates with specific patterns, logos or intricate details.
Efficient Production:
They speed up the production process compared to manual methods, allowing large-scale manufacturing.
Uniformity and Consistency:
They contribute to the uniformity and consistency in the appearance of products, guaranteeing a standard of quality.
How they work:
Preparation of the Dough or Chocolate:
Before using the stamper, the candy mass or chocolate is prepared and, if necessary, melted to reach the appropriate consistency.
Equipment Power:
The prepared mass or chocolate is fed into the stamper, usually using an automatic feeding system.
Stamping or Molding:
The equipment carries out the stamping or molding process, pressing the dough or chocolate against matrices or molds that give the desired shape.
