Our confectionery expertise

Gummies and jellies

Whether in front of a shelf or in production, the confectionery variety is endless: Mono or side-by-side, starlight or center filled, multi-colored or multi-flavored, oiled or sugared, different gelling agents, that’s our daily business.

Fondants, toffees and caramels

Fondants, toffees or caramels – with or without chocolate enrobing, our machinery handles them all with great care.

Hard candy

Hard candies are as diverse as people’s taste. Fruity, herbal or milk-based? Our equipment processes mono, side-by-side, center filled, starlight or layered candy – and any combinations.

Our expertise in pack styles

Your sweets perfectly packed

The right technology for your confectionery

Flexible dissolving system

The world of sweets is colorful and diverse. No matter which gelling agents or other ingredients your sweets contain, we offer the right kitchen solution to process your gummies and jellies, adapted to your needs. The Makat BLK Rapidsolver is a flexible and energy-efficient dissolving system that ensures product-compliant treatment of all recipe components. Each gelling agent can optimally develop its properties – and consumers can enjoy clear and transparent jellies with the right texture, full of taste and constantly high quality.

High output depositing

Whether you produce all-time favorites or launch new treats and seasonal bestsellers to the market – flexibility and high performance are key. Our reliable Makat HLM mogul line allows for smooth product handling and achieves a high output per floor space, while precisely depositing confectionery masses. Different depositing systems ensure you can create unlimited candy types and color variations on one machine. A large variety of setting options allows for precisely adjusting the production process to your individual needs. Together, we set the basis for an efficient production and profitable confectionery manufacturing.

Intelligent process automation

Process automation is a key factor in reaching production targets at high efficiency and quality levels. Our processing and packaging portfolio covers a wide range of automated solutions from entry-level standalone machines to fully automated and seamlessly integrated systems. Whatever the size of your business – we will develop a customized solution for your confectionery production. Are you developing a new product? Our laboratory equipment allows you to test and refine recipes and machine parameters before scaling up your production process – without stopping your production.

High-speed packaging in minimum space

Packaging coated, sticky or oily products at high speeds with consistently high quality is challenging. We continuously improve our packaging solutions. With up to 440 pillow bags per minute, our vertical bagger series SVE provides a highly efficient output on a compact floor space. Thanks to a special twin-tube concept, the SVE 1820 MR even manages the output of two baggers, while only using one weigher and the floor space of one machine.

Reclosable packaging

As consumers frequently enjoy their sweets on-the-go, the demand for reclosable confectionery packaging is rapidly growing. Syntegon caters to this trend: reclosable options like bags with tape closures or our patented zipper technology for Doy Zip bags keep products fresh and easy to access. Additionally, the zipper technology eliminates wrinkles and gives your packaging the premium look your brand deserves at the point of sale. Our SVE Doy Zip baggers provide consistently high quality without compromising on efficiency – up to 100 Doy Zip bags per minute prove that reclosable packaging and high output go hand in hand.

Complete line solutions

From processing, depositing, and finishing to primary packaging, cartoning, and case packing – we provide you with a one stop shop solution that does not end with purchasing the equipment. We are at your side from the initial idea throughout the entire machine lifecycle.

Efficiency

We strive for continuous improvement and develop innovative concepts to increase your production efficiency. Our turnkey solutions provide efficiency and high speeds along the entire value stream.

Flexibility

Flexibility is key for our processing and packaging portfolio for confectionery. The variety of formats and pack styles allows you to quickly adapt to changing production requirements and market demands.

Gentle handling and high quality

Our solutions focus on high product quality of your confectioneries and gentle handling along the whole process – from processing to packaging. Syntegon's patented zipper application and long-seal technology assure the deluxe quality of your Doy Zip bags.

Confectionery process technology

In a fiercely contested market such as the confectionery industry, manufacturers need a partner who supports them with integrated system solutions and innovative technologies from the very beginning. For over 90 years, the Makat brand has developed flexible confectionery process technology that offers unlimited possibilities for different candy types.
