A continuous coating process for chewing gum and bubble gum materials. Small cores or pieces of gum material are introduced into inclined rotating drums in which heated air is circulated and a coating solution is applied (liquid or powder). The coating material is dried on the pieces of material, and a plurality of thin layers are formed on each of the cores or small pieces of material. A series of rotating drums can be provided to provide the requisite number or thickness of coating layers. In an alternate embodiment, initial coatings of material can be provided on the cores by a batch-type process before the materials are introduced into the continuous coating drums. The formulas for the coating solution can also be adjusted at different stages of the coating process in order to provide a more consistent and uniform coating.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'enrobage en continu pour matériau de gomme à mâcher, et de gomme à claquer. On introduit des noyaux ou de petits morceaux de matériau de gomme dans des tambours rotatifs inclinés dans lesquels circule de l'air chaud, et on applique une solution d'enrobage (liquide ou en poudre). On sèche le matériau d'enrobage appliqué sur les morceaux de matériau, et on forme une pluralité de couches minces sur chacun des noyaux ou des petits morceaux de matériau. Une série de tambours rotatifs permet d'obtenir le nombre de couches d'enrobage requises ou l'épaisseur nécessaire. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on peut appliquer les enrobages de matériau de départ sur les noyaux à l'aide d'un procédé de type par lots avant l'introduction desdits matériaux dans les tambours d'enrobage en continu. Les formulations de la solution d'enrobage peuvent également être ajustées à différentes étapes du processus d'enrobage, de façon à fournir un enrobage plus consistent et plus uniforme.
