8. Marshmallow forming line

8.1Main conveyor

The system consist of a 1100mm wide conveyor,20 meters long. On this conveyor, there is a starch sprinkler to spread one layer of starch to prevent sticking of marshmallow to the blt. A forming roller will press channels in the starch ad the same distance as the nozzles in the manifold extruder.

The extruder is built shortly behind the duster and extrude marshmallow ropes on the channels of the starch layer. After extruding, there is another starch sprinkler will sprinkle one layer of starch to cover them. Then cutting and go to aging conveyors or dry rooms.

Power: 1.5kw
Speed of belt is adjustable.
There is a mesh filter at the end of the extruding line.

8.3 marshmallow conveyor

the system consist of a 1250-1300mm wide conveyor, 20m long, on this conveyor a starch duster produces a layer of starch to prevent sticking of the mallow to the belt, a forming roller will press channels in the starch at same distance as the nozzles in the manifold extruder

the extruder is built shortly behind the duster and produces mallow ropes into the channels of the starch layer. After extrusion the mallow ropes are covered by a thick layer of starch from the starch sprinkler. The cutting of the mallow into the correct product lengths is done by guillotine cutting through both the starch layer and the mallow. The cutter has adjustable cutting speeds to adjust the final product length based on strokes/min, and conveyor speed.

After cutting, at the end of the conveyor, the product drops into a cross conveyor /starch shaker to remove most of the excess starch and separate the mallow pieces, from this point it will be elevated and fed into a final cleaning drum for removing final starch of the product.

A starch dust collector system connect to the starch shakers, guillotine and starch cleaning drum, will filter most of the air-born starch from the areas where starch dust is created
