Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fruit juice candy production, and in particular to a fruit juice candy mixing device. Background Art

[0002] Fruit juice candy is made by first melting and heating the raw materials (granulated sugar, fruit pulp, food coloring and other additives) to make syrup, which is then injected into a mold and cooled to make candy blocks with fruit juice. The entire preparation process requires adding different raw materials to a mixing device for mixing.

[0003] During mixing, due to the different raw materials needed, when solid granular sugar and liquid fruit paste are respectively input into the mixing tank for mixing, a stirring roller and a driving member for starting and driving the stirring roller to mix the raw materials are usually provided in the mixing tank, and the materials are discharged through the discharge port at the bottom of the mixing tank after mixing.

For the granular sugar, if it is far away from the heating tube, it may be necessary to increase the corresponding heating time or increase the stirring force of the raw materials, which increases the preparation time of the fruit juice sugar. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content
