Вафельные трубочки со сгущенкой начнут выпускать в полоцком филиале КУП «Витебский кондитерский комбинат «Витьба»
To master the production of this product, the company required about 2.5 billion rubles for technical re-equipment. For comparison, last year the branch mastered only 900 million in investments.

The product, which will go on sale in March next year, is a new product made from rich yeast-free dough in the form of a tube, rolled from a wafer sheet with a filling inside, consisting of a filling based on boiled condensed milk – the kind our mothers and grandmothers baked in our childhood. The treat will definitely be packed in individual colorful film to preserve its freshness for longer.

Just the other day, the leading technologist of the branch and the chief engineer of KUP "Vitebsk Confectionery Combine "Vitba" returned from Germany, where our company purchases the main equipment – a wafer oven. In addition, the rest of the equipment that is part of the wafer tube production line has already been purchased, – says the director of the Polotsk branch, Alexey Gorovoy. – On the second floor, where wafer production is set up, we have prepared a site for the new line. We carried out major repairs, replaced all the electrical wiring, as the capacity will increase with the arrival of the new oven.

Despite the fact that the filling in the wafer tube is based on boiled condensed milk, it will have several different flavors. What other ingredients will be added there is not yet known. Most likely, it will include nutty and caramel flavors. Today, technologists are actively developing recipes. After all, very soon the equipment will be installed at the Polotsk branch of the confectionery combine, and they will begin to master the innovative product.

The enterprise continues to produce traditional products: gingerbread, cookies, and waffles. This year, 500 million rubles were invested in the modernization of gingerbread production. In 2011, the enterprise acquired a mesh conveyor, and this year – a packaging machine. The branch of KUP "VKK "Vitba" is expecting a refrigeration tunnel. The implementation of these measures will fully automate the gingerbread production cycle.

This year, new "Fruktosha" waffles based on apple puree with three different flavors – cinnamon, raspberry, blackcurrant – appeared on store shelves, as well as as many types of homemade "Ovsyanochka" cookies with sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and chocolate, produced by the branch.


In December, the production of "Zabota" oatmeal cookies with fructose and "Polochanka" gingerbread with added natural fiber will be mastered: classic, peanut, fruit, and mint flavored. It is worth noting that wheat fiber will allow the popular products to stay fresh longer. We hope that consumers will enjoy the new products.
