Tabletop Depositors Are Essential for Gummy and Nutraceutical Production

December 10, 2025

Small Footprint, Big Impact

In the world of confectionery and nutraceutical manufacturing, precision and efficiency separate market leaders from also‑rans. Companies of all sizes need equipment that can deliver consistent product quality without occupying an entire factory floor. Evocan’s Tabletop Depositor answers that call. Compact yet powerful, this machine deposits hot or cold viscous masses—think gummy candy, nutraceutical gels, chocolates or caramel—into moulds with unrivaled accuracy.

Designed for Craft and Scale

The Tabletop Depositor may fit on a bench, but it shares DNA with our industrial lines. A servo‑driven piston pump ensures each cavity receives the correct volume, with adjustable shot sizes that allow you to produce micro‑dosed supplements or indulgent gummy bears from the same machine. The user interface is intuitive: operators dial in deposit weight, speed and temperature through a touchscreen panel. Recipes can be saved and recalled, making changeovers between flavors seamless.

A heated hopper keeps product at the optimal viscosity while an insulated transfer path maintains temperature consistency from start to finish. For products like gelatin‑based gummies, where cooling curves affect texture, this stability is crucial. The depositor’s nozzles are designed to minimize stringing and dripping, resulting in crisp mould definition and less waste.

Why It Matters for Gummies and Nutraceuticals

Demand for functional gummies—vitamin blends, CBD and other plant‑based supplements—has skyrocketed. These products require precise dosing to ensure each piece delivers the advertised active ingredient. Inconsistent deposition can result in out‑of‑spec product that must be discarded. The Tabletop Depositor’s servo control keeps shot weights within tight tolerances, reducing rework and safeguarding compliance.

For confectioners, consistent piece size and shape equate to a premium feel. Unevenly filled moulds lead to gummies with thin edges or air pockets, compromising mouthfeel. Our depositor fills each cavity from the bottom up, eliminating bubbles and ensuring uniform thickness. When paired with a vibrating table or cooling tunnel, it enables a continuous process that boosts throughput without sacrificing quality.

Scalability and Integration

Many startup gummy brands begin with hand‑poured trays or entry‑level equipment. As demand grows, upgrading to a mid‑scale depositor is the next logical step. The Tabletop Depositor bridges that gap. It supports up to 18 000 pieces per hour but doesn’t require specialized utilities beyond a standard electrical outlet.

When you’re ready to expand, the Tabletop Depositor integrates seamlessly with Evocan’s conveyors, de‑moulders and sugar‑coating systems. A modular design allows you to build a custom line—add a cooker for brewing syrups, a depositor for multi‑flavour or bi‑layer gummies, and a carrying conveyor to move trays into cooling cabinets. Each module shares a common control architecture, simplifying training and maintenance.
