Release Agents: Food Production Without Friction

Release Agents: Food Production Without Friction

Machinery used in food production faces significant demands. They operate for long hours and also navigate through various challenges depending on the type of food being processed. Baked goods, sugary treats, as well as cheese and meat products, have a tendency to stick to machinery, conveyor belts, or other surfaces. This can lead to issues such as reduced machine efficiency, food residues burning onto hot surfaces, or blades becoming dull. Our release agent products ensure a smooth production, regardless of how sticky food products become.

Efficient operation is crucial in modern food production plants

To maintain a smooth workflow and minimize cleaning time, food-grade release agents play a vital role. These agents, available as sprayable liquids, pastes, or solid films, prevent food products from sticking to machinery and moving parts. Depending on the machinery, they can be spread, sprayed, or dripped onto surfaces to provide an efficient anti-stick layer.

In the sensitive environment of food manufacturing, hygiene and contamination control are paramount. Our release agents not only enhance production efficiency but are also food-grade quality, safeguarding consumer health and trust. Using our products to streamline production processes ensures optimal efficiency without compromising food safety standards in any manner.

Innovative solutions, closely developed with partners in the food industry

With decades of experience, we have formulated ideal release agent solutions for food manufacturing, such as for confectioneries, waffles or baked goods. We also develop new customized solutions for our customers. From new formulations to innovative ways to integrate our release agents into a production chain, we work closely with customers to provide the best solution for their individual needs.

At CAPOL, we value our role as competent partners in the process rather than just product providers. We develop specific solutions that integrate seamlessly into our customer’s plants or production lines. That's why we provide more than just product advice, we aim to become specialists who delve into the nuances of our customers' operations to develop high-performance solutions together. Whether it's optimizing processes, troubleshooting challenges, or refining operations, we are committed to providing comprehensive support to ensure our customers' success.

Our highly experienced team of product developers and application engineers can help you find the right solution for your application.

Release Agents Decrease Costs and Improve Efficiency

Baked goods, in particular, benefit from our innovative release agent solutions. When food sticks to baking surfaces, it not only accelerates wear on machines but also contributes to food wastage. This results in the frequent replacement of expensive machine parts, increasing both the environmental footprint and operational expenses of food production facilities. Our release agents serve a dual purpose: they prevent food adherence to surfaces, thus minimizing production downtime caused by cleaning and maintenance, and ensure that all processed food reaches the customer's plate instead of being discarded. By addressing these challenges with the right solutions, we not only reduce costs for manufacturers but also combat food waste effectively.

Release agents based on natural ingredients

Our products are formulated using ingredients from natural sources such as vegetable oils and waxes, ensuring that they are not only safe for use in food manufacturing but actually food-grade. All our standard products are non-GMO. Additionally, they can be customized to meet specific requirements such as kosher, halal, allergen-free, certified organic, or RSPO-certified, depending on your needs. Our release agents are free from mineral oils, offering a potent alternative to other options without the risk of MOSH or MOAH contamination.

With decades of experience, we have developed unique competencies and knowledge, which we continually leverage to further enhance our products such as release agents through our own research and development team. Through close collaboration with our customers, we can tailor these products to meet the diverse needs of customers worldwide.

Seamless production of your hard and soft caramels with CAPOLEX®

Wherever confectionery with a sticky surface, such as hard and soft caramels, comes into contact with machine parts, CAPOLEX® reliably prevents the mass from sticking to the machinery during processing. This food-grade machine release agent has been specially developed for use in food production.

CAPOLEX® is available in different textures, from very liquid and sprayable through pasty to very firm. Depending on which machinery is used, our machine release agents can be applied accordingly, by spreading, spraying or using a drip mechanism. CAPOLEX® anti-sticking agents are suitable for use with a wide range of equipment: cooling and conveyor belts, cooling rollers, cooling and heating tables, embossing machines, blades and cutters, extruders and sugar cooking equipment.
