This invention relates to the field of food production technology, and more particularly to a
casting method and apparatus for producing soft candy; it includes a conveying component, several sets of molds, a pushing component, and a
casting machine. The conveying component includes two sets of oppositely arranged conveyor wheels and a conveyor chain spanning both sides of the conveyor wheels; several sets of molds are continuously arranged on the conveyor chain, each set of molds including two oppositely arranged templates, the two templates are fitted along the parting line, and after combination, they form several concave structures, with the bottom of the
mating surfaces of the two templates hinged; the pushing component is arranged in the space between the upper and lower
layers of the conveying component, including a cylinder and a pushing plate connected to the output end of the cylinder; the
casting machine is arranged above the conveying component, and has an
extrusion component inside; the
extrusion component and the pushing component expand or contract synchronously to bring the mold and the casting
machine closer together to pour syrup, which can realize efficient integrated
continuous operation of syrup receiving, initial setting, and flexible demolding.
