Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of chewing gum processing, in particular to an automatic chewing gum feeding device. Background Art

[0002] Chewing gum is a chewable food that usually has the function of freshening breath, helping to clean the mouth and relieving oral discomfort. Chewing gum usually contains ingredients such as glycerin, saccharin, flavors, pigments, etc. There are many flavors to choose from, such as mint, fruit, honey, etc. Chewing gum can produce fragrance and taste after being chewed, making people feel refreshed and happy.

[0003] The main raw materials of chewing gum include rubber gum, sugar, glycerin, flavors, pigments, etc. These raw materials need to be prepared and weighed to ensure the accuracy of the formula ratio. When processing chewing gum, the rubber blocks or rubber granules will be melted first, and then the raw materials of powdered sugar will be added, and finally the raw materials such as flavors will be added and mixed thoroughly.

[0004] Some existing traditional chewing gum processing devices will directly mix the rubber particles with raw materials such as sugar pigments when processing mixed raw materials, and then directly extrude the device for subsequent operations such as plastic cutting. However, when the rubber particles are heated and melted, due to uneven heating and other reasons, some unmelted particles will exist in the melted colloid. If they are not removed, the quality of the finished chewing gum will be affected. Some equipment with filtering components will also allow the rubber to be filtered through its own gravity flow filter, but the rubber colloid has a large viscosity, which will result in a slow filtration speed. At the same time, some traditional devices will install the filter plate and the device through multiple bolts when installing the filter component, but when the filter component needs to be cleaned, disassembly and assembly will be time-consuming and not practical. Therefore, an automatic chewing gum feeding device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
