Liquorice / Licorice / Regaliz / Lakritz

BCH is regarded as the world leader and has built an extensive knowledge base in the processing and handling of very viscous products like liquorice / licorice and fruit twist. In fact BCH produced their first liquorice / licorice press 170 years ago, in 1835, and has been producing equipment for liquorice ever since. This has been as a result of a high demand to develop new products and innovation. A number of full turnkey process lines have recently been completed for various confectionery manufacturers across Europe and America, including fully automated lines for the production of both continuous extruded liquorice / licorice and liquorice / licorice allsorts. From design and manufacture BCH can offer full ingredient feed systems to final guillotining offering product flexibility in terms of co-extrusion combinations and glazed or sugar dusted finishes.

Economical Confectionery Extrusion Line

BCH have recently launched a new economical confectionery extrusion line which is a cost-effective solution for new start-up companies as well as certain developing markets within the Middle East, Africa and Asia who wish to gain a foothold in the sector, without committing huge initial outlay.  BCH Ltd expects its new user-friendly and easy-to-install solution to be of interest to those niche companies serving smaller segments of the confectionery industry. The new extrusion line presents a viable option as users invariably lack the large sales volumes to warrant investment in larger, more expensive production lines and may also offer advantages to test kitchens environments.

In addition to its ability to extrude traditional confectionery products, BCH’s new extrusion line has also been designed in tune with the continued move towards more responsible, healthy-eating attitudes. As a result, the new line offers the capability for 100% fruit and vegetable extrusion to suit the latest consumer trends for natural, organic and clean ingredient labels on snack products.

Matthew Cottam, Technical Director, BCH Ltd, explains, “Increasingly within the confectionery industry, there are niche providers, striving to differentiate themselves by offering something more special and exquisite than the mass producers. By offering an economical confectionery extrusion line, we are enabling this ‘retro’ market to operate in this smaller-run market segment.”

The 4 Colour Twist

BCH now have the capacity to produce 4 channels of viscous product eg) liquorice / licorice and caramel, from a single source including any colour and flavour. The product can then be combined into a single rope with up to 20 ropes extruding onto a BCH cooling tunnel. The product can be extruded in many different shapes from squares and stars to hollow, filled centres and twisted.
