Caramel

Long experience in handling viscous and complex products 

Caramel is a confectionery product, characterised by high viscosity, which derives from the cooking of sucrose and other ingredients such as milk, salt, emulsifier, bicarbonate and glucose. More in detail, in the production of caramel, the sugar is heated to melting point. This heat treatment process removes moisture and caramelises the sweet mass, resulting in a solid amorphous substance. 
The industrial production of caramel requires that the chemical and physical characteristics of the final product, such as Ph, specific weight, colour and consistency, remain unchanged regardless of the conditions of the external environment and throughout the year.  

The PiovanGroup designs and manufactures customised plants for the production of confectionery caramel according to the characteristics of the caramel that the customer aims to obtain, taking care of every detail at every stage of production and with every apparatus: preparer, holding lung, scraped surface heat exchanger and continuous mixer.
The Group also offers customers the opportunity to produce samples for panel testing, thus being able to propose solutions tailored to needs and test the final result before the plant is built.   

The technical knowledge and field experience of Piovan Group engineers and technologists guarantee assistance and proximity at a global level.

GLOBAL PRESENCE

Storage, dehumidification, transport, fragment-breaking crushing and sieving are just some of the food ingredient processing phases in which the PiovanGroup is able to operate. In particular, Penta and Fea are the companies of the Group specialised in automation systems for the treatment of food powders, granular and liquid products.

Sieving

Sieving

ROBUST, EFFECTIVE AND EASY TO INSPECT SIEVES
Industrial sieving of food ingredients is essential to ensure the quality of the finished product. This process ensures the correct size of the product in transit and eliminates any contaminants or impurities larger than the sieve drum screen itself.

Dosing

Dosing

ACCURATE DOSING AND EASY CLEANING
In food ingredient handling processes, accurate dosing of powders and granular products is essential. PiovanGroup designs a range of loss-in-weight dosers that guarantee absolute dosing precision thanks to a spherical arc. These dosing machines provide, with reference to the relevant recipe, the correct quantity of raw material that can be mixed or directly discharged into the primary operating machines. It is also possible to create a premix between different ingredients, through continuous dosing.

Supervision and Process Control

Supervision and Process Control

PLANT MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION SYSTEMS
As in other industrial sectors, as well as in the food sector, to guarantee maximum production efficiency it is necessary to have complete control of the process, in all its phases.

Dehumidification

Dehumidification

CLEAN, DRY AIR FOR FOOD PRODUCTION
In the food industry, constant monitoring of the relative humidity level of the air is essential to ensure the highest quality of the finished product. Dehumidifying the ambient air with the highest degree of hygiene is crucial for the transport and storage of ingredients such as flour, cocoa, milk and flavourings. With particular reference to hygroscopic substances, it is essential that the product humidity is as desired for production under all environmental conditions.

Transport

Transport

DENSE AND DILUTE PHASE TRANSPORT WITH PRE-MIXING OPTIONS
PiovanGroup industrial conveying systems are developed according to engineering design standards for a hygienic and safe process. These solutions are specifically designed and manufactured for the handling of food powders and viscous liquids, including flour, sugar, cocoa, honey, starch and inclusions. Specifically, the Group's conveying systems also allow ingredients to be pre-mixed during their handling.
