一：Important components of the marshmallow production line
Mixing tank → cream forming machine → pouring device → conveyor belt transport → powder spreading device anti-sticking treatment → vibrating screen to remove impurities
1 Mixing barrel:
mainly used for mixing and stirring raw materials.
The main function of the mixing tank is to mix the syrup, pigment and flavor raw materials together. Stir continuously in the mixing tank. When the temperature in the tank reaches above 120℃, the sugar will reach the dissolving temperature to form syrup. When the syrup is formed, add food coloring and flavors to mix it into your favorite color and taste.
2 Cream forming machine:
There is a cooling and insulation system in the forming machine.
The prepared syrup is stirred at high speed in the cream forming machine. While in close contact with the air, the syrup will also form bubbles and become more fluffy.
3 Pouring device:
The pouring device is controlled by a servo motor, with precise pouring, low noise and strong stability.
Put the syrup that has become creamy into the pouring device, and apply the pouring mold to adjust the flow rate parameters.
4 Conveyor belt:
The conveyor belt adopts a servo motor, which is precise in pouring, anti-sticking, durable and easy to clean.
After the parameters are adjusted, it falls on the conveyor belt. The material of the conveyor belt is food-grade material. Don't worry about hygiene and safety issues. The speed of the conveyor belt can be adjusted according to the flow rate to better receive the marshmallows
5 Powdering device:
Sprinkle anti-sticking powder to prevent the sugar from sticking before solidification.
When the marshmallows fall off the conveyor belt, quickly open the powdering device and sprinkle anti-sticking powder on the surface of the marshmallows to prevent adhesion
6 Vibrating screen:
Collect and filter the marshmallows.
The last step, the high-speed vibrating vibrating screen, can filter out the undissolved syrup or excess impurities on the marshmallows to ensure uniform product quality.

Step 1: Raw material preparation before production
Prepare white sugar, glucose, water and gelatin in strict proportion.
Step 2: Cooking process
After the raw materials are prepared, put them into the mixing tank and stir them continuously. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the sugar will dissolve and form syrup
Step 3: Air contact and mixing
After the syrup is formed, you can add an appropriate amount of food coloring to allow the syrup to fully mix with the coloring to the color you want. After the syrup is formed, it rotates at high speed in the cream molding machine to contact enough air, which will produce bubbles and increase the fluffiness.
Step 4: Molding device
The heated syrup can be poured into the mold evenly through the pipe and pouring device according to the set flow rate
Step 5: Powdering
The syrup in the mold will reach the conveyor belt and enter the powdering device of the equipment to prevent the syrup from sticking
Step 6: Vibration to remove impurities and excess powder
The high-speed shaking of the vibrating screen removes excess powder and screens out sugar blocks that have not been successfully dissolved to ensure uniform quality.
三：Main factors affecting the efficient production of marshmallows
In the marshmallow production line, the degree of connection between equipment will directly affect the production efficiency and output, followed by whether the raw materials are prepared sufficiently. For these two important issues, the measures that need to be taken are to choose high-performance equipment when ordering equipment, and the connection layout between production lines must be smooth to ensure sufficient raw materials before production.
The higher the degree of automation of the equipment, the greater the impact on your production efficiency. At the same time, it can also save you manual control. In the intelligent production process, you can adjust the production parameters and observe the production progress to achieve real-time monitoring. Therefore, when choosing equipment, try to choose automated PLC control and SCADA to facilitate the management of the machine.
The uniformity of finished product quality is mainly affected by several aspects: the quality of raw materials, the control of production speed and temperature, and whether there is a quality inspection system. Therefore, the standard to ensure the final uniformity of quality is that in the same batch of production, the temperature and stirring speed should be set uniformly, and the choice of raw materials should be as good as possible. It would be better if the equipment has a system to detect product quality during the production process.
When choosing equipment, you must pay attention to the material of the equipment. Only materials that are harmless to the human body and meet food safety requirements can be used. Hygiene and safety are the most concerned points for people nowadays and are the top priority of equipment.
For your cost control, choosing fully automated equipment is definitely a good choice. It not only improves production efficiency, but also saves manpower. If your cost is not very ideal, then it is recommended that you choose semi-automatic equipment according to your budget, and use automation for part of it, and other parts that can be replaced by manual labor can be considered without automation.
