A process for continuously producing a chewing gum base comprises the steps of continuously adding a hard elastomer, a filler and lubricating agents into a continuous mixer, subjecting the elastomer, filler and lubricating agents to a dispersive mixing operation followed by a distributive mixing operation and continuously discharging the resulting chewing gum base from the mixer while the adding and mixing steps are in progress. The filler is introduced into the continuous mixer at a plurality of spatially separated feed inlets. Preferably, part of the filler is introduced into the mixer prior to the dispersive mixing zone, and a portion of the filler is introduced into the mixer downstream of the dispersive mixing zone but prior to the distributive mixing zone. |
