Abstract:
The invention relates to a chewing gum piece comprising at least one inner filling (2) being enclosed by sugarless chewing gum substance (1), said chewing gum piece being provided with an anti-sticking agent (4), and said chewing gum piece being provided with a coating (6) at least partly encapsulating said chewing gum piece and said anti-sticking agent.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing chewing gum granules. The method comprises at least the steps of feeding a gum composition including at least gum base into an extruder (2), pressurizing the gum composition in the extruder, extruding the gum composition through a die plate (5), and cutting the extruded gum composition in a liquid filled chamber (4). The extruded gum composition comprises at least 71%Wt. gum base and the cut granules are included in compressed gum tablets. The invention further relates to a chewing gum product, and to a chewing gum granulating system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system (1) for producing pieces of center-filled chewing gum comprising an extruder (20), at least one measuring apparatus (101), and a control system, wherein said extruder (20) is extruding a gum rope (25) having geometrical characteristics, and wherein said at least one measuring apparatus (101) measures data related to at least one of said geometrical characteristics, and wherein said measured data is used by said control system to regulate at least one geometrical characteristics of said gum rope (25).
