How a typical batch moves through the facility.
A process overview, not a binding spec. Specific equipment, controls and certifications are confirmed per project against the agreed scope.

Raw material intake
Actives and excipients arrive with supplier documentation. Identity and certificate-of-conformance checks before release into production.

Mixing & dosing
Pectin base is prepared and the active premix is dosed against the locked specification, with in-line monitoring of the critical control points.

Depositing & curing
Gummies are deposited into starch or silicone moulds, cured to set, then demoulded and conditioned to the target moisture profile.
- 04
Coating & finishing
Optional sugar, oil or wax coating depending on the format. Visual and weight checks before primary packaging.
- 05
