Abstract
The invention involves a process and a device for manufacturing a raw liquid confection mixture, whereby sugar containing dry components and liquid components are supplied from out of a dosing device into a mixing device. The mixing device involves a shearing mixer in which the components are stirred intensively by a rotor so that they liquefy due to the frictional heat that results in the process. In the process, only a very small water content is necessary such that dissolving the sugar-containing dry components in water, followed by the subsequent drawing off of water, as was the customary practice until now, is rendered unnecessary.
Claims6
A continuous process for manufacturing raw mixtures for candies comprising:
- supplying dry components containing sugar in crystal form and liquid components to a mixer;
- shear mixing said dry components and said liquid components in said mixer by intensively stirring with a rotor of said mixer;
- and
- melting said sugar in crystal form only by frictional heat from said step of shear mixing, said steps of supplying and shear mixing and melting occurring as a continuous process.
