15 Sep 2017 --- Baker Perkins, a company that supplies process equipment to the confectionery industry, is launching new manufacturing technology for the functional and medicated confectionery sector in the form of the ServoForm Mini. The ServoForm Mini is a small batch/lab-scale depositor developed in response to rapid expansion of the market for supplements and OTC medication, which is being driven by consumers looking for easier and more palatable delivery methods than pills or capsules, according to Baker Perkins. These include new gummy formats for vitamins, minerals and supplements (VMS) as well as established hard candy applications such as remedies for coughs, colds and sore throats.
