Production Process
1. Center Preparation
Chocolate, nut, or candy cores are prepared and sized for coating.
2. Loading into Dragee Pan
Centers are loaded into a rotating coating pan for controlled application.
3. Coating Application
Sugar syrup, chocolate, or compound coatings are applied gradually while the pan rotates, ensuring uniform coverage.
4. Polishing & Glazing
Optional polishing and glazing stages enhance visual appeal and surface smoothness.
5. Drying & Cooling
Coated dragees pass through a controlled environment to solidify coatings and prevent stickiness.
6. Optional Coloring & Flavoring
Sprays or dusts can be applied to create visually appealing and flavored dragees.
7. Final Packaging
Finished dragees are discharged from the pan and transferred to packaging lines for hygienic wrapping.
