Patent

CA 2331216

A process for cooling, grinding, and packaging an ingredient material, such as an encapsulated sweetener or acid, for a chewing gum product is disclosed. The material is extruded from an extruding machine (12) directly onto a conveyor (14). The conveyor transports the liquid material, preferably in elongated strings, through a chamber (16) cooled by circulation of cooled air. The solidified material exiting the cooling chamber is cut into small pieces by a rotating cutter (18) and conveyed by a vacuum conveyor system to a grinder (22). The material is further broken up (ground) into a powder and transported to a holding bin. Thereafter, the powder is deposited in boxes or other containers (42) for storage.

L'invention concerne un procédé consistant à refroidir, broyer et emballer un ingrédient tel qu'un édulcorant ou acide encapsulé pour obtenir une gomme à mâcher. L'ingrédient est extrudé dans une machine à extruder (12) et acheminé directement vers un transporteur (14). Le transporteur transporte l'ingrédient liquide, de préférence en fils allongés, à travers une chambre (16) refroidie par le passage d'air refroidi. L'ingrédient solidifié sortant de la chambre de refroidissement est coupé en petits morceaux par une lame rotative (18) et transporté par un système transporteur sous vide vers un broyeur (22). L'ingrédient est ensuite broyé et transformé en poudre, puis transporté vers un bac de support. La poudre est déposée, par la suite, dans des boîtes ou d'autres récipients (42) en vue d'un stockage.
