Marshmallow Production Line

Marshmallow Production Line Detail Introduction

Marshmallow production line

The main production process of the marshmallow production line is sugar dissolving - mixing - aerating - molding - cooling - applying powder/oil - balancing - packaging.  

First of all, prepare the required materials according to the formula, then put them into the premix machine to mix and heat till they got dissolved.  Once the mixture gets dissolved, the slurry is poured into the digester cooked to the desired humidity.

After the mixture is cooked to an ideal state, it is cooled to room temperature.  

The cooled mixture is inflated through an aerator and adds some flavorant and pigment to get different colors and flavors.

The mixture is then extruded through molds that make different shapes of marshmallows while being cooled again on a cooling conveyor.  

Then the treated marshmallows are dusted with starch to prevent sticking together or with icing sugar for rich flavors, before being cut to the desired length.  

After that, the finished marshmallow is further processed in a powder chamber to remove excess starch and icing.  

The last step is the packaging. Package the marshmallow through a packaging machine, the product is completed.

Marshmallow Production Line: Complete Buying Guide

The marshmallow has a very broad market, do you want to  engage in this industry?

There are some common questions about marshmallow and marshmallow production line, the following will be your answers:

1. What are marshmallows?  

Marshmallow is now a very popular type of candy, and it is mainly made of sugar, gelatin flavorant, pigment, and other materials. It’s loose and porous with a certain ductility taste and its texture is similar to cotton. Marshmallow is very popular in all ages.

2. What do marshmallows taste like?

When you first taste marshmallows, it may bring you a very amazing experience, because it's not like traditional candy, you feel like eating cotton, and there is a feeling of eating powder. But after chewing a few times, it will bring you a different experience, a soft, sweet smell, will spread instantly in your mouth. 

3.How Marshmallow Production Line Works

Humidity control in the marshmallow production line is very critical, it will directly determine the quality of the candy,can neither be too high nor too low.  

Prepare the ingredients first according to the recipe, then the ingredients are mixed and cooked in an automatic vacuum pot, usually under high pressure, which can effectively shorten the cooking time to obtain the required moisture.  

After cooking, the mixture will be put in the equipment through the hopper, which conveys it to other stations on the production line for further processing.

Then the gelatin and water are mixed and added to the mixture material. After mixing,it is cooled to about 55℃. After cooling, the mixture is fed into a mixing chamber and inflated to reach the desired density.

Once inflated, the mixture is cooled again, from 55°C to 38°C, after that the booster pump adds different colors and flavors addictive into the mixture.  

Sprinkle some starch on the mixture to prevent it from sticking. 

Put the mixture in the molding equipment, then extrude different shapes through the extruder,and change the mold of the extruder can directly change the shape of the marshmallow.  

The finished marshmallow is put into a roller that rotates quickly to remove excess starch.  

Now the marshmallow production was finally completed, and the candy was ready to be packaged through a packing machine and sold to the public.
