Product Description
Full Automatic Marshmallow Production Line (Cotton Candy Line)
The CMHT600/1000 processing line is a complete plant for continuously producing various kinds of cotton candies (marshmallow) which comes in a variety of colors and shapes.
PROCEDURE:
In the pre-mixer, all the ingredients to be dissolved and cooked.
Then the basic slurry is continuously pumped to a cooker till the final moisture level is reached.
After cooking, the slurry will be cooled and mixed with a separate whipping agent solution.
Then the cooled marshmallow base is passed through the continuous aerator.
The product then be divided and injection with different colors and flavors.
The multi-color product is extruded ,and transported on a cooling conveyor for cooling down;
The conditioned marshmallows are dusted top and bottom with starch, or a mixture of both starch and icing sugar in a separate dust cabin; the product is cut to the required length here.
The dust cabin is kept under a strict control to prevent the dust spreading throughout the plant. The excess starch/sugar is removed.
The final is transferred to a packaging place.

Versatile Marshmallow Production for Modern ConfectioneriesEngineered for flexibility, this production line can craft cut, deposited, novelty, or custom-shaped marshmallows, supporting creative product portfolios. Integrated conveyors, automatic dosing, and variable speed operation facilitate seamless transitions between forming, aerating, cooling, and cutting, delivering exceptional consistency in product quality.
Advanced Automation and User-Friendly ControlThe touch screen HMI and PLC control system offer precise and easy control of every stage, reducing required operator effort to only 23 persons. Automatic dosing, mixing, and CIP cleaning minimize manual labor and improve hygiene throughout the process, while adjustable settings adapt to diverse recipe and production needs.
Uncompromising Hygiene, Efficiency, and SafetyWith in-place automatic CIP cleaning, overload protection, and emergency stop functions, the system emphasizes operator safety and sanitary standards. Food contact components are made from food-grade stainless steel and PU, which, alongside a low-maintenance design, assures both compliance and durability for long-term use.
FAQs of Full Automatic Marshmallow Production Line:
Q: How does the automated cleaning system work in this marshmallow production line?
A: The line utilizes a fully automatic CIP (Clean-In-Place) system, allowing thorough and efficient cleaning of the interior surfaces. This ensures sanitary operation while eliminating the need for manual disassembly, saving labor and reducing downtime between production runs.
Q: What types of marshmallow shapes and products can be produced with this machine?
A: This production line supports a wide array of marshmallow shapes, including rope, twist, ball, animal, and custom novelty designs. It accommodates both cut and deposited styles, making it versatile for standard and innovative confectionery products.
Q: When should I consider customizing specific features of this production line?
A: Customization is recommended during the ordering phase, especially if you require non-standard mixing tank volumes, cooling conveyor lengths, product capacities, or shape-forming dies. The modular construction allows tailoring to unique operational needs or available factory space.
Q: Where can this marshmallow production line be installed?
A: The equipment is floor-mounted and best suited for industrial confectionery production facilities or factories with adequate floor space and standard power requirements (380V/220V, three phase). Its compact footprint for a complete line enables integration into both new and existing facilities.
Q: What is the process flow for producing marshmallows using this line?
A: The process begins with automatic dosing and mixing of ingredients, followed by continuous aeration, forming, and cooling. Products are precisely cut using a high-accuracy cutter, then conveyed for seamless packing with compatible automatic packing machines, ensuring continuous, hygienic production.
Q: How does this production line benefit confectionery manufacturers?
A: It enhances productivity through automation, consistent quality, and energy efficiency. Minimal operator involvement reduces labor costs, while the modular design and automated cleaning streamline maintenance. Its compatibility with diverse packing systems and product shapes promotes versatile, large-scale confectionery output.
