Continuous cooking system for toffees

■ Flexible operation-degree of cooking and caramelisation can be varied independently
■ Ability to blend ingredients such as butter,fondant or flavors
■ Temperature for 8 sections can be adjusted separately.
■ Mixing speed can be adjusted steplessly.
■ Digital temperature display for both units.
■ Emulsifier can adequately homogenize condensed milk,fat and syrup with high speed.

This system is composed of one Emulsifier, one Syrup Pump and one Carablend Cooker.

Description:
The cooker has two units in series. Each unit is made up of four steam jacketed sections or zones. Each zone has independent steam controls, gauges, etc. The sections are made of stainless steel, they are in the form of an open topped trough with a circular cross section. The four sections are connected directly together.

Rotating in the trough is a shaftless stainless steel blade. This mixers together the toffee whilst slowly moving it forward. The mixing blade results in two forward movements of the mass for every reverse movement. The combination of forward and reverse movement ensures thorough mixing. At the same time as mixing the mass the blade sweeps the heated surface of the unit preventing burning and build up at the surface. At one end of the unit there is a weir assembly which can be adjusted to vary the retention time and level of product in the unit.
There is a variable speed drive driving ‘Carablend’ units.
There is an electronic temperature probe fitted on to the discharge chute of the weir arrangement. Each barrel has an electrically interlocked guard on the top which will stop the drive motor if the guard is lifted.
The sides of the ‘Carablend’ unit are covered by stainless steel covers. A stainless steel tray is fitted beneath the length of the ‘Carablend’ unit for collecting the water used during washout and directing it to drain.
The usual arrangement is to mount the ‘Carablend’ unit or units on an elevated framework so that the gravity discharge feeds directly to the subsequent machine, for example a ‘Candy moulder’.
Alternatively, the units can be mounted at floor level and a pump used to transfer the cooked material to the next process.

Operation
The feed to the unit should be continuous. The product fed into the ‘Carablend’ unit can be a cold undissolved premix of ingredients, a hot undissolved premix, a hot dissolved syrup or a partially cooked syrup. The infeed condition will generally be governed by the recipe, cooking conditions and output required from the total plant. The continuous feed of material is into one end of the ‘Carablend’ unit. The material gradually moves through the unit being heated and cooked on the way. At the far end it overflows the weir and passes over the temperature probe. The syrup feed rate and height of the weir control the residence time in the unit. The steam pressure will control the temperature reached by the mass.
At any stage extra ingredients can be metered into the unit and blended with the material. For example, once cooking is complete butter and flavourings might be added.

Output
The output depends upon the moisture content of the initial recipe and of the final product, plus the degree of caramelistion required. With ancillary equipment outputs of between 250 and 1000 kg/hr can be handled.

CO-EXTRUDER TYPE GF-EX-100/2BG/1RP

Co-extruder type EX-100/2BG/1RP is capable to offer 1 rope of 2 colors with capacity of max.600kg/hour for toffe candy production. This machine is equipped with advanced electrical control system and mechanical convering structure. It can feed max. 6 sets cut & wrap machines continuously and is reliable in safety and convenient for operation.

1. MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION
The extruder is equipped with two barrels mounted on one frame, each barrel with two  110 infeed rollers and two  100 extrusion screws attached.

Two sets of 60-liter hoppers on top of the barrels are built in two parts. Various forming dies are properly designed as requested, correspond to different shapes of product.

The extruder is equipped with three individual heating units. Heating or cooling of the barrels is controlled respectively by three water tanks via three thermo-regulators with digital display. Automatic adjustment starts when temperature has been set. The set temperature and the actual temperature are shown on the display.

The gearboxes are also installed on the extruder. Each unit includes gears gone through thermal procession. All axles are fixed on a ball bearing. The gears and the bearings run in an oil bath. The hydraulic reservoir is filled with special oil resistant to high-pressure. An electronic over-pressure protection device is fitted in each barrel accurately controlled by a microprocessor.
2. ELECTRIC APPLIANCES
Two A.C. frequency converters together with main driving motors are introduced to infinitely adjust the extrusion speed.
Each set of extrusion screws is assigned with a variator to regulate the ratio depending on various raw materials to be extruded. “Speed Up or Down” Operation is achieved by a variator when the ratio has been fixed.

The extruder is equipped with three thermo-regulators with temperature display. All electric components and adjustment device are positioned at eye’s level. All contactors, relays and fuses are installed in the control cabinet.

GF Cooling Tunnel GF/CT-5P/SC

WORKING PRINCIPLE
GF Cooling Tunnel is optimized by  toffee,sugus and milk cany Machinery, based on the advanced European technology. Refrigeration units and circulation device are adopted to achieve constant temperature and humidity in the cooling tunnel, in which 1-4 candy/gum ropes is transported smoothly by nine conveyor belts.

MAIN CONSTRUCTION
A. Transportation
Five conveyor belts are driven by a 2.2 kw motor with a double-stage chain system to take over the continuously extruded ropes. Special transferring device is located at the entrance and the exit to deliver the extruded ropes to the wrappers. Running speed of the conveyor belts is infinitely adjustable within the range of 0-0.5m/s (maximum 30m/minute) and is controlled by a Japanese frequency converter.
B. Support
Strong supports are provided along the tunnel. Insulation walls around the tunnel is surrounded by slabs of rolled sheet steel filled with foamed insulating stuffing. Two glass doors stands in the front and at the rear side for the supervision of interior running status. There are six doors altogether for checking and maintenance the tunnel.
C. Air Circulation
The air condenser in the tunnel is cooled by an exterior refrigeration unit. Two axle ventilators propel the cool air in the tunnel to circulate to reach the set temperature. Three adjustable electrical units for heating and dehydration are also installed to help the tunnel operation under constant humidity and temperature in accordance with technical requirement for specific product.
D. Electric Control
The complete set of electric components are fitted in the control cabinet located at the end of the cooling tunnel. A microprocessor is introduced to set and regulate transportation speed and temperature and to start and stop ventilators as well as electric heating device. A main operation panel is fitted at the infeed side and an auxiliary panel is located at the rear side of the tunnel. It is possible to check, set and adjust through the main panel the belt speed, and to start/stop ventilators and electric heating device and to turn off the tunnel. An emergency stop button is fitted on the auxiliary panel.
E. Refrigeration
A complete refrigeration system working with refrigerant R22 is composed of imported compressor, a refrigerating unit, a condenser and is characterized by appropriate working pressure. The system offers smooth running of the belt, low noise and excellent cooling effect. Four refrigerating units are de-frosted in intervals and can work continuously under low temperature.
