Confectionery Machine Specialist<br />
at ProSweets Cologne 2024<br />
Winkler und Dünnebier Süßwarenmaschinen GmbH (WDS) is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of<br />
confectionery machines and covers the entire spectrum of moulded confectionery products with a wide<br />
variety of applications and capabilities. The WDS division sweet OTC has also established itself as a specialist<br />
in technologies for the production of active OTC confectionery, supplements and nutraceuticals.<br />
The company is pleased to be returning to ProSweets in 2024 in Cologne (January 28-31). The main topics in<br />
hall 10.1, stand 050 will be classic WDS depositing technologies as well as further developments in hygiene<br />
for sensitive application areas. As part of the SweetConnect partner network, WDS will also be demonstrating<br />
how the confectionery industry is being networked and digitalised across manufacturers.<br />
What you can expect at the WDS<br />
stand<br />
Depositor systems for all depositable<br />
and demouldable masses will be<br />
presented, reflecting the diversity of<br />
WDS plants. From the laboratory scale<br />
to the large-scale plant, WDS offers<br />
confectionery machines for all capacity<br />
and manufacturing requirements.<br />
Especially for the OTC sector, WDS<br />
presents depositor systems made<br />
of hygienic full stainless steel: a true<br />
innovation!<br />
Thanks to the EasyClean design of<br />
WDS plants and the use of adapted<br />
service trolleys, it is easy to change<br />
parts that come into contact with the<br />
mass as well as to completely replace<br />
a depositor system, e.g. for external<br />
cleaning or for a large variety of<br />
products using exchange systems.<br />
The product- and system-specific<br />
program parts demonstrate the<br />
extraordinary quality standards of<br />
Winkler and Dünnebier confectionery<br />
machines. High vertical integration<br />
and top-quality material processing<br />
are reflected in the dosing and<br />
process precision of WDS plants. Last<br />
but not least, extensive know-how<br />
WDS confectionery machines for a wide range<br />
of mass and capacity requirements<br />
and many years of experience with<br />
various masses and technologies<br />
enable WDS to process special<br />
masses with sensitive additives<br />
in the field of OTC confectionery,<br />
supplements and nutraceuticals in a<br />
way that is both gentle on the product<br />
and reproducible.<br />
Innovative solutions for the<br />
future in the OTC growth market<br />
With its sweetOTC label, WDS<br />
is an established supplier in the<br />
OTC sector and will be informing<br />
customers at ProSweets about<br />
complete customised solutions in a<br />
GMP-qualified design. This covers the<br />
entire value chain, from brainstorming<br />
and the development of individual<br />
confectionery products to specially<br />
adapted production processes.<br />
As a specialised WDS division,<br />
sweetOTC focuses on developing<br />
new depositing and moulding<br />
processes in confectionery<br />
production and has been<br />
significantly expanded to promote<br />
innovation and efficiency. WDS<br />
already significantly expanded its<br />
in-house technical centre some time<br />
ago to meet increasing demands.<br />
WDS plants feature consistent<br />
hygienic design optimisations that<br />
prevent contamination and crosscontamination.<br />
Supplemented by<br />
risk assessments (FMEA) and a<br />
comprehensive qualification concept,<br />
the plants are the ideal choice for<br />
anyone who would like to exploit the<br />
opportunity potential and growth in<br />
the area of innovative and alternative<br />
dosage forms in confectionery<br />
production.<br />
SweetConnect provides support directly at<br />
the machine, for example when searching for<br />
documents or for maintenance<br />
SweetConnect: The partner<br />

multiple challenges that are difficult to<br />

SweetConnect initiative, which<br />
will present ready-to-use digitisation<br />
solutions successfully tested by the<br />
industry at ProSweets this year. The<br />
innovative digital platform is steadily<br />
growing and driving the digitalisation of<br />
the confectionery industry.<br />

together to shape the future of the<br />
confectionery industry. At the WDS<br />
