Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inflation device technology, and in particular to an inflation device for candy production. Background Technology

[0002] The importance of gas-filled packaging in the food and fragile goods sector cannot be ignored. By injecting an inert gas (such as nitrogen) into the packaging to form a buffer layer, it can effectively isolate oxygen to delay oxidation reactions and inhibit the growth of microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life of the product and maintaining its flavor and taste. It can also reduce physical compression damage during transportation and storage by taking advantage of the elastic buffering properties of the gas, thus reducing the breakage rate. It is especially suitable for fragile products such as candy and chips.

[0003] However, there are some problems that urgently need to be solved in the existing inflation device technology, especially in inflation devices used in confectionery production.

[0004] First, from the perspective of equipment adaptability, the compatibility design of existing gas-filling packaging systems needs improvement. Currently, most gas-filling devices on the market are designed for large granular or blocky foods such as puffed foods and nuts, lacking devices specifically designed for gas-filled candies or candies with a crisp texture that require gas-filling packaging. Candies, as small granular foods, are easily affected by airflow during the gas-filling packaging process, leading to displacement or uneven stacking. Existing devices struggle to achieve independent gas-filling packaging of single or small batches of candies through precise airflow control, resulting in low packaging efficiency and a low finished product qualification rate.

[0005] Secondly, the limitations of existing technology in the specific operational aspects of candy packaging cannot be ignored. Currently, most candy aeration devices use ordinary conveyor belts for the packaging process. While this method can meet basic production needs to a certain extent, it falls short when faced with the special process of candy aeration packaging. Ordinary conveyor belts struggle to ensure the uniform distribution and stable transport of candy particles during the process, directly leading to inconsistencies in the number of candies during aeration packaging, often resulting in too many or too few. This deviation in quantity not only affects the packaging quality but also increases the difficulty and cost of subsequent quality inspection. Utility Model Content
