Two extruders, endless combinations
Filled licorice candy is available in many different varieties, most of which are made of (fruit) licorice combined with a sugar paste filling. To produce filled licorice, two extruders are required: a cooking extruder for the licorice and a forming extruder for the sugar paste. When the required filling is fluid enough, a pump is used to inject the hollow product.
Our Diemix® enables both masses to be split into individual streams, where color and flavor are added to each individual flow. A dynamic mixing stage assures a homogeneous mix of each flow. A Dosing Skid can be fitted to the Diemix® to ensure accurate dosing of each color and flavor — making it possible to create combinations of different colors and flavors at the same time, in both the licorice and the filling.
