Our starch based pre-coating agents are used to produce a base layer on which to coat a variety of different centres

Fix Gum® products are pre-coating agents consisting of maltodextrine and other modified starches. They are ready for use and easy to apply.

When used in the production of sugar-free confectionery, the sugar in Fix Gum® can be replaced by various polyols such as Lactose, Maltitol, Mannitol, Sorbite or Xylitol.

On diabetic confectionery the starch can be replaced with gum arabic.

Precoating with Fix Gum® will ensure that even sticky centres, such as candied orange peel or fruit pieces, are free-flowing and can be easily coated with sugar or chocolate. Thus almost eliminating "doubles" or "triples" even if the centres themselves are as small a 5mm.

Fix Gum® forms an excellent fat barrier when it is applied on nut or chocolate centres

The Fix Gum® range includes Fix Gum WD®(liquid) and Fix Gum B®(powder) and is used as a first-coat application on nuts, raisins, dried fruit, liquorice ropes, gums and jelly products. They can also be used on chocolate centres, chewing gum balls and pellets prior to the application of a sugar coating.

Capol® 236N, 4958 and 4363 - are also pre-coating agents for nuts and raisins prior to coating with chocolate or sugar, or for chocolate coated centres before sugar coating them. They are water based solutions of natural food ingredients.

All our pre-coating products can be applied either manually or by automated dosing devices in both conventional coating and polishing pans or in automated coating machines.
