Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of hard candy processing, and in particular to a high-efficiency hard candy production system. Background Technology

[0002] Hard candy is a common type of candy, formed by boiling syrup at high temperatures and then cooling it into hard candy blocks. Its firm texture and layered flavor make it popular with people of all ages. Classic types of hard candy include fruit hard candy, mints, butterscotch, and sour candy. Hard candy can be eaten directly or used to decorate desserts and cakes. The main ingredients of hard candy include sucrose, glucose, and syrup. During the efficient production process, various fruit flavorings, food colorings, and acidulants are often added to enhance its flavor and appearance.

[0003] In related technologies, systems for producing and processing hard candy require melting and mixing the raw materials before shaping and packaging. A mixing tank is typically used for melting and mixing the hard candy. Operators place the raw materials into the mixing tank for mixing. Electric heating wires are installed on the side walls of the mixing tank. By energizing these wires, the raw materials are mixed. However, the distribution of these heating wires within the mixing tank may be limited, potentially leading to uneven temperatures, with areas closer to the wires experiencing higher temperatures and areas further away remaining cooler. This can result in localized overheating, potentially causing some of the hard candy raw materials to caramelize or decompose, thus affecting the quality of the hard candy.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a high-efficiency hard candy production system to solve the problems mentioned in the background art above. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issue raised in the background art that heating by energizing an electric heating wire can lead to uneven temperatures, with areas closer to the heating wire experiencing higher temperatures and areas further away from it, potentially causing localized overheating and resulting in caramelization or decomposition of some hard candy raw materials and affecting the quality of hard candy production, this application provides a high-efficiency hard candy production system.
