Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hardening equipment, and in particular to a hardening device for chewing candy. Background Art

[0002] Chewing gum / bubble gum and other candies are made by extruding the mixed sugar blocks through an extruder, then hardening them, and finally cutting them into strips or blocks. The hardening time is mostly determined and adjusted according to the humidity of the sugar blocks and the candy forming requirements, and is generally dried naturally through the assembly line; but for chewing gum with high humidity or high hardness requirements for the finished product, a longer assembly line and hardening cycle are required. The existing assembly lines are usually laid flat on the ground, so the longer the assembly line, the more space it occupies, resulting in a waste of space. Utility Model Content
