CHICKLET PLANT

Introduction:
Chicklet is a flat rectangular pillow shaped coated chewing gum. It is a type of confectionery which is designed to be chewed rather than swallowed.

Manufacturing Process:
Chiclets manufacturing is a simple process involving three stages mixing, forming and packing. Desired quantity of gum base is heated in a steam jacketed Sigma Mixer to its melting point & then required ingredients are added and mixed. The mixed mass then transferred to the extruder to form a thin rope of required shape. The rope then enters into the Chiclets forming machine where small rectangular shape of Chiclets are formed in required size. The Chiclets are then transferred to the cooling conveyor for cooling, ensuring accurate shape of the finished product. Then Chiclets are transferred to the coating pan for coating, coloring & polishing. The finished Chiclets are packed in the required packing by packaging machine.
