Process to subject pumpable candy stock to heat

摘要

A process and apparatus to subject a pumpable mass of candy stock to heat, by conveying the candy stock to be heated through a heating coil (7) of a steam heated heat exchange (6). A fluid medium is added to the candy stock upon entry into the heat exchange (6) and as the candy stock leaves the heat exchanger it is guided into a receiving tank (13) which allows the medium to escape the candy stock. The medium to be added to the candy stock is steam, such that by the condensation of the steam the temperature of the candy stock is raised at least into the vicinity of its boiling point, preferably above its boiling point.
