Making bubble gum-filled lollipops using the Uniplast Die-Forming Production Line involves several steps and requires a specific setup and process. Here’s a general outline of how it’s done:
- Lollipop Mixture: Prepare a sugar mixture typically used for lollipops. This usually includes sugar, corn syrup, water, and flavorings.
- Bubble Gum Center: Prepare the bubble gum mixture, which might include gum base, sweeteners, and flavorings.
Heat the lollipop mixture in a cooking kettle to the required temperature, ensuring it reaches the correct consistency.
Simultaneously, the bubble gum is heated and formed into a consistent, pliable mass. you need the gum base oven to heat the gum base.
The Uniplast Die-Forming Production Line comes into work at this stage.
First, the gumbase will be fed into the extruder machine, which will connected with the beginning of the batch roller machine. see the below pic.
- The cooked lollipop mixture is fed into the batch roller machine, the bubble gum is placed in the middle of the big lollipop mixture, then comes to the rope sizer machine to smaller candy ropes, and finally comes to the die-forming machine.
2. Inside the lollipop-forming machine mold, the lollipop mixture is formed into the desired shape (round, oval, etc.).
3. During this forming process, a small amount of the bubble gum mixture is injected into the center of each forming lollipop. at the same time, the lollipop-forming machine has a stick-insertion function, before cooling for formation, the stick-insertion will be done by the machine itself.
Once the lollipops are formed with the bubble gum center, will transfer to the multi-layered cooling tunnel, based on your country’s temperature, you can use fan cooling or an air-conditioner cooling machine. after going through the cooling machine or cooling tunnel, the gum lollipops are cooled to set the candy and gum.
The final step involves wrapping the lollipops in a protective film and packaging them for distribution. proper wrapping will longer the self-time of lollipops and have an attractive cloth for the lollipops. As per your market, you can choose bunch wrapping or double twist wrapping.
The exact specifications, temperatures, and timings can vary based on the recipe and the machine’s settings. It’s crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the Uniplast Die-Forming Production Line to ensure quality and safety standards are met. Additionally, regular quality checks and maintenance of the equipment are necessary for consistent production.
The Uniplaste Die-Forming Production Line offers a sophisticated and efficient solution for producing bubble gum-filled lollipops. Its precision in forming, centering the gum, and ensuring consistent quality makes it an invaluable asset in the confectionery industry. With this technology, manufacturers can produce lollipops that are not only delicious but also visually appealing and consistently high in quality.
