Industrial Production of Spherical Bubble Gum Process and Equipment Analysis

2026-06-25

1.Raw Material Preparation

The core raw materials for bubble gum are gum base, glucose syrup, white sugar, glycerin, and flavorings. Before production, these ingredients need to be proportioned according to the type of bubble gum to be produced.

2.Mixing

The mixing step is key to bubble gum production, as it determines the quality of the gum dough. Specialized mixing equipment is required. After proportioning, the ingredients are sequentially added to the mixer and mixed until uniform, pliable, and free of lumps, meeting the standard before discharging.

3.Extrusion and Forming

The mixed gum dough is then transformed into predetermined shapes using extrusion and forming equipment. The dough is fed into an extruder to form a continuous rope, then sent to a forming machine to be pressed into continuous spherical, dinosaur-egg, pear, or other shapes.

4.Cooling and Setting

The formed gum pieces enter a cooling tunnel, where they are evenly cooled to achieve a moderate softness and hardness without sticking.

5.Coating

The cooled spherical gum pieces enter a coating machine, where they are repeatedly sprayed with coating syrup and dried layer by layer. This continues until the surface forms a uniform-thickness, consistent-color coating. After coating, the gum balls undergo a 24-hour aging process, then move to a polishing step to make the surface shiny and plump, further preventing sticking and extending shelf life.

6.Packaging and Quality Inspection

After coating, the bubble gum is packaged and undergoes quality inspection throughout the process.

 

 

Having understood the complete production process of a spherical bubble gum, what professional equipment supports each step? Next, we continue the breakdown.

 

1.Crusher

As a pre-production raw material preparation step, the crusher’s main function is to crush granular sugar into fine sugar powder, providing the basic sugar ingredient for subsequent batching and mixing.

2.Oven

The oven is essential in gum base candy production, primarily used to soften the gum base.

3.Mixer

After preheating and softening, the gum base is mixed with glucose syrup, flavorings, and other ingredients in the mixer.

4.Extruder

The extruder mainly consists of a frame and guard, transmission box and components, extrusion chamber components, temperature control circulation system, and electrical system. Depending on the candy structure (single-color/two-color) and output, different extrusion chambers (single-chamber/dual-chamber) can be selected.

5.Gum Rope Conveyor Belt

The conveyor belt for the gum rope serves a dual function in bubble gum production: it ensures continuous and stable transport after extrusion while simultaneously performing initial cooling and setting of the rope, laying the foundation for subsequent processing.

6.Forming Machine

The forming machine can change candy shapes freely. Depending on the final shape of the bubble gum (stick, ball, etc.), different forming equipment is needed to achieve precise shaping of the gum dough.

7.Cooling Shaker 

There are several types of cooling equipment, but the cooling shaker is more suitable for spherical bubble gum production. Its unique vibration and oscillating motion design effectively promotes uniform movement of the gum balls, prevents deformation, and ensures stable final product shape.

8.Coating Machine

The coating machine mainly consists of a main unit and a fan. Its function is to evenly coat the formed bubble gum balls with syrup, giving them a smooth, uniformly colored coating. A stable coating machine is key to determining the final appearance of bubble gum.

 

Above is the complete industrial production process and core equipment analysis for spherical bubble gum. From raw material handling to final product, every step relies on equipment support. For food processing enterprises, choosing the right production equipment is the core of producing high-quality bubble gum.

Selection of Cooling Equipment for Different Candy Production Lines

2026-06-25

In candy production, the cooling stage is crucial as it directly impacts the product's final quality, texture, and visual uniformity. A common misconception is that candy cooling is simply a matter of lowering the temperature, so any generic cooling equipment will do.However, in actual production, even seemingly similar candy categories have distinct material properties and molding methods. Therefore, the cooling equipment required varies, and the process design must be highly targeted. Using the categories in the table below as examples, this article will walk you through how to choose the right cooling equipment.

HAWIT AI Deep Learning Color Sorter---Solving the Same-Color Sorting Challenge for Black Melon Seeds

2026-06-15

Traditional color sorters rely on “eyes” to identify colors. When impurities share the same color as the seeds, they go completely “blind”.

HAWIT Technology proudly introduces the all-new AI Deep Learning Color Sorter. It does more than just “see”--- it “see through”. Upgrading from simple color recognition to a full multi-dimensional perception encompassing color, shape, and hardness, it leaves hidden impurities nowhere to hide. 

 

 

PART.01 --- A Smarter Brain

Traditional color sorters require manual parameter adjustments, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and struggle with complex materials.

HAWIT AI Deep Learning Color Sorter, based on deep learning and multi-dimensional modeling technology, automatically trains sorting solutions without starting from scratch.

The system continuously learns and evolves during operation. The more black melon seeds it sorts, the more accurately it identifies black impurities.

PART. 02 --- A Sharper Eye

Black goat dung mixed in black melon seeds is difficult for ordinary lenses to distinguish.

HAWIT AI Color Sorter integrates RGB visible light and near-infrared spectroscopy, capturing hidden information invisible to the human eye.

Whether it’s early-stage mildew, internal cracks, or foreign contaminants, multi-spectral technology sees it all at a glance.

PART.03 --- A More Comprehensive Observation

Black melon seeds and black goat dung are nearly identical in color. Relying solely on color will never tell them apart.

HAWIT AI Color Sorter fuses multi-dimensional data including color, shape, hardness, and texture to construct a complete profile of each material. Black melon seeds are smooth and oval-shaped; goat dung is rough and irregular.

Adopting a “coarse sorting first, fine sorting second” approach, it doesn’t just look at the “surface” - it looks at the “whole picture”. Same color? Still perfectly distinguished!

PART.04 --- A Faster Response

Traditional color sorters struggle with the high output demands of black melon seeds. Too slow, and they can’t keep up; too fast, and they can’t sort accurately.

HAWIT AI Color Sorter achieves deep synergy between AI algorithms and high-speed solenoid valves, enabling efficient and rapid material sorting. It breaks through the speed bottlenecks of traditional sorters, accurately removing black goat dung and other impurities while maintaining high-speed production. Perfectly suited for large-scale, continuous black melon seed sorting.

HAWIT Belt Color Sorter | Corn Sorting – Round Ones Go to Storage, Square Ones Get Cleared Away

2026-06-15

When it comes to corn sorting, do you think only color matters? Far from enough.

In actual production, there is a type of defective product that gives many processing plants a headache – square corn kernels. They look similar in color and size to qualified round kernels, leaving traditional color sorters "dazzled" – they can only let them pass by helplessly.

 

The newly upgraded HAWIT belt color sorter features three cameras working in synergy – not only checking color, but also inspecting shape.

 

 

01. Smooth Conveying, Perfect Integrity
The Belt Color Sorter is made of high-quality soft materials. All contact points with the corn are flexible and non-damaging. Combined with an anti-bouncing design, the corn moves forward smoothly on the belt – no jumping, no tumbling, and the material is evenly distributed. Breakage is eliminated at the source, and the yield rate is significantly improved.

 

02. Shape + Color Sorting, Precision Lock-On
Traditional color sorters can only see color. When round and square corn kernels have similar colors, they become "blind".

 

HAWIT is equipped with three lenses:

 

First look (shape-sorting eye): While the material is still on the belt, the top lens performs shape sorting – round contours pass, square contours are locked.

 

Second & third looks (color-sorting eyes): At the moment of ejection, the upper and lower lenses work together to perform color sorting – mold, black spots, and offcolor kernels have nowhere to hide.

 

Shape sorting first, then color sorting. 

Three cameras work in synergy, doubling the identification dimensions –round is round, square is square, never mixed up.

 

 

Corn sorting – shape sorting sets the standard, color sorting ensures no flaws are missed.
The HAWIT belt color sorter – no breakage, no omissions, rounds kept and squares removed – so every kernel leaving the factory is round, plump, and able to withstand the most critical inspection.

 

HAWIT Belt Color Sorter --- Three-Eye Synergy, Shape Sorting + Color Sorting, Redefining the Benchmark for Belt Sorting.

2026-06-15

HAWIT upgraded belt color sorter, building on the original upper and lower dual lenses, a new high-definition CMOS lens is added --- creating Three-Eye Synergy that combines shape sorting and color sorting for more accurate, faster, and more stable results.

 

【Dimension One】Three-Eye Synergy, Shape Sorting First, Then Color Sorting

A new high-definition CMOS lens is installed directly above the tail end of the belt. While the material is still on the belt, shape sorting is completed first --- identifying physical features such as shape, size, and contour. The moment the material is ejected, the upper and lower dual lenses take over to complete color sorting.

With Three-Eye Synergy, the recognition dimension is doubled. Shape Sorting+Color Sorting significantly reduce missed selection and misjudgment.

 

【Dimension Two】High-Speed Scanning, Doubled Speed

Equipped with high-speed scanning technology, the scanning speed is doubled. Even during high-speed production, every single frame remains crystal clear.

Doubled speed, doubled efficiency, doubled output.

 

【Dimension Three】Flat-Throwing + Dual Sorting, Precision Evolved

·Specifically solves the bouncing issue of rolling materials. Materials move smoothly on the belt, creating ideal conditions for the CMOS lens to perform shape sorting.

·Dual-layer sorting design: coarse sorting on the upper layer, fine sorting on the lower layer. After ejection, the upper and lower dual lenses work together to complete color sorting, optimizing the carryover ratio and significantly improving sorting accuracy.

·Slow-speed flat-throwing system: materials are distributed more evenly with a more consistent ejection trajectory.

 

Say goodbye to the limitation of traditional belt sorters that "only see color."

The HAWIT Belt Color Sorter --- Three-Eye Synergy, from shape sorting to color sorting, full-process precision control --- delivers more accurate, faster, and more stable material sorting.
