Commercial manufacturing steps
What’s the manufacturing process for making candies? Let’s take a small marshmallow production line as an example:
Step 1: raw materials cooking
Sugar, Water, Liquid Glucose, Sorbitol, Corn starch, Gelatin solution, etc)
Step 2: inflating
A continuous aerator adds the right amount of air into the mixture. the core part of the whole candies production line.

In-line mixer to avoid manual mistakes for each proportion. To make a maximum 4 color/flavor
injection automatically.
Step 4: First stage starch sprinkling
Sprinkling starch powder on the belt before the former. To avoid conglutination with the transporting belt and absorb the moisture of the bottom marshmallow mixture.
Step 5: forming
