Continuous method for making chewing gum.

摘要

A method for continuously forming wide, thin chewing gum slabs suitable for forming sheets and bands ready for packaging in an automatic wrapping machine is disclosed. The method involves compounding a chewing gum paste; extruding the formed gum paste as a wide thin slab through a die mounted on the discharge end of the extruder; cooling the extruded gum paste slab; and passing the gum paste slab through no more then two sets of calender rolls.
