Starting any business has its challenges, and launching a candy business is no different. There are formation documents and licensing requirements, and finding the ideal manufacturing kitchen location is not always easy. However, once the essentials are in place, making the actual candy can be as easy as …
At Truffly Made, we offer The Easiest Way to Make Candies with best-in-class molds and machinery. It’s our tagline, and it’s also our vision for candy makers. Our goal is to help you reach your confectionary goals, grow your candy business, and have a sweet experience while you do it.
Here are a few ways we make candy making easy.
Industry-Leading Recipe Development
Melting chocolates in a home kitchen is one thing. Developing candy recipes with proportions that scale, maintain a reasonable shelf life, and hold their shape and consistency throughout the packaging and shipping process is another.
With Truffly Made’s Recipe Development services, dialing in those industry-leading recipes can be much easier. Expert chemists bring many years of experience and knowledge to new recipes that include mouth-watering flavors and functional infusions to consumers.
Precise Candy Depositors
Some candy makers launch their production lines using the flood and scrape method. At first, this may seem like the most effective method, as little equipment is required. Just take the bowl of candy mixture and pour it into the mold, right?
Yes, and … this process is not that simple, and is extremely messy. Much of the candy mixture overflows the mold’s cavities and often runs onto the prep table, which is wasteful. Cleaning up after this process is extremely time consuming at scale, not to mention it makes demolding individual candies much more difficult. This drives up manual labor costs as well as production timelines.
Depositing machines remove the majority of this workload. Truffly Made’s depositors, especially automatic depositors, make it very easy to deposit candy mixtures into molds. Operators simply place the mold under the depositor, pull a lever or press a button, and a measured amount of candy mixture drops directly into the mold’s cavities without overflowing. There’s no spillover, minimal cleanup is required, and the candies are much easier to remove.
Easy Candy Demolders
Silicone molds filled by universal or automatic depositors are generally simple to remove by hand. Food-grade silicone molds are inherently nonstick, so removal is fast and easy. No overflow means candies pop cleanly out of cavities. However, it is possible to make this process even easier.
Using a Truffly Made Universal Demolder allows candy makers to remove a full tray of candies in one pop. An Automatic Demolder takes this even further, removing a tray full of candies in one pop – with just one button press. Demolder frames are made custom to specific molds, meaning alignment is perfect every time. This hands-free method is a game changer for any production line removing candies one at a time.
Strong-Yet-Flexible Silicone Molds
Not all candy molds are created equal. Some are rigid, which makes it difficult to remove the candies. Different candies stick to some mold materials more than others, and sticky materials means it can be challenging to maintain the candy’s shapes, embossing, or design.
On the other hand, using Truffly Made’s advanced BPA-free food-grade silicone molds results in a much simpler removal process. With the perfect balance of sturdiness and flexibility, these types of molds stand up to hot candy mixtures, can move into a refrigerator or freezer, and can be popped completely inside out for efficient candy removal.
When these top-tier silicone molds are paired with a Universal or Automatic Demolder, removing the entire mold full of candies happens in one pop. There’s truly no easier mold to use for candy making.
Production Line Upgrades
Several simple production line upgrades can further boost candy making ease and efficiency.
Some kitchen counter and table spaces mean awkward bending for optimal visualization when using the Automatic Depositor. Adding an Ergonomic Stand brings the depositor to an easy-to-work level, eliminating the need for awkward bending and improving operator posture while facilitating easier visuals on nozzle alignment.
Kitchens can mean small work spaces, and the most efficient production lines still ensure each operator has their clear working space. Adding a Transporting Unit to an Automatic Depositor moves full candy trays carefully down the line. Best of all: it happens hands-free.
With Truffly Made’s Tower Rack System, filling up to 20 molds can now be fully-automated. This set-up allows candy makers to set and fill up to 28 molds without supervision in less than 20 minutes, and can deliver 10,000+ accurately-metered candies per hour.
Fast and Simple Technical Support
Candy makers are great at making candy, but not every candy maker is great at machinery. Every machine will need maintenance at some point or another, and Truffly Made’s equipment is no different.
Truffly Made offers video tutorials that demonstrate exactly how to keep depositors maintained, spare parts like pistons and o-rings that sometimes need to be replaced, and maintenance services when operators need technical support.
