Rolling scoring machine for chewing gum or chiclets
Rolling scoring machine for chewing gum

The machine takes over the chewing-gum sheet coming from the extruder and powers it on both sides.The thickness of the chewing-gum sheet is reduced and rolled out to the final thickness and the surplus powder material is brushed off.

Then the gum sheet is cut into the desired dimensions.The pre-cut gum slabs are fed onto wooden trays and plied.Different kinds of chewing gum or chiclets dimensions can be made by changing cutting knives.

Mechanical construction

(1) Infeed conveyor belts
Two endless infeed conveyor belts coated with silicon material are fitted.The top infeed conveyor belt can be tilted down to have sufficient space when opening the die plates. There’s a powdering device on both upper and bottom infeed conveyor.The device can automatically drop powder onto the upper and lower surface of the gum slice, which is to be transmitted to the first set of rolling station.
(2) Rolling Stations
There’re 4 sets of stainless-steel rolling stations to reduce gradually the thickness and density of the chewing-gum sheet. The upper and lower roller sets apply cooling-inside structure, which can help to reduce the usage of lubrication.The gap and parallel of all roller sets is adjustable by means of hand wheels.Each rolling station is equipped with scrapers for cleaning as well as protection bars.
(3) Cutting rollers for lengthways cut
The distance and the parallel of knives can be changed by adjusting the cushion to meet requirement on the width of gum sheets.The scraps on both sides will be tomatically removed by the cutting knives during movement.
(4) Cutting rollers for cross cut
The distance and the parallel of knives can be easily adjusted. The length of gum sheets can be modified by adjusting the running speed.
(5) Separating belt
Behind the cross cutting station a conveyor belt for the circulated separation of the chewing-gum sheet is mounted. The cut gum sheets arriving on the separating belt will be automatically separated and transmitted to wooden trays.
(6) Powdering device
On top of the upper and bottom infeedconveyor belt, one powdering device each is mounted. The powdering quantity can be adjusted, but the powder should have been treated by drying.
(7) Lighting
A capped lighting is installed over the rolling and cutting stations to guarantee optimum sight conditions at the line.
(8) Brushing-off device
Between the second and the third rolling stations, an endless conveyor belt is installed. One brushing roller each is mounted on top and behind the conveyor belt. The brushing rollers can be adjusted to brush off redundant powder.And the powder collecting system is fixed in order to keep the working areas with clean air.
(9) Scraps collecting conveyor
On the rear side of the machine, a scrap return conveyor belt is provided.The lateral scraps are fed by a conveyor belt to the machine end onto a cross conveyor belt and then onto the scrap return conveyor belt. The scrap strips are then fed back to the exdruder by means of various conveyor belts.
(10) Product change
The cutting roller sets are slipped on the drive shafts. For exchanging the cutting rollers, the shafts are removed and replaced through other ones with the desired product dimensions. The change of products can be effected within a few minutes.
(11) Dust Collecting Device
The powdery particle which is blown up by the powder brushing device can be absorbed by the dust collecting device and deposited in the depositing device. The filtrated air will be sent back to the workshop. The dust collecting device is composed by fans, filters and depositing device.
(12) Electrical equipment
The electrical control and regulating instruments are clearly arranged.All contactors, relays and fuses are installed in the control cabinet.
