Sugar

Premixing

1

Preparing the sugar mass

Premix sugar, water, glucose and dextrose before further processing. This ensures the thorough dispersion of ingredients and produces sugar mass of a consistently high quality.

 

Cooking

2

Bringing the mass to a boil

The sugar mass is boiled in a batch cooker to the exactly right temperature to achieve a uniform mass.  More about cooking.

 

Mixing and cooling

3

Blending in the whipping agent

The sugar mass is cooled down and blended with a whipping agent to create an especially light, fluffy marshmallow texture. More about mixing.

 

Buffering and tempering

4

Keeping the process going

Use buffering and tempering tanks to help ensure that the quality of your sugar mass stays high until it can be processed further.

 

Aerating

5

Creating the marshmallow fluff

Aeration enriches the sugar mass with gas to create the distinctive density and fluffy marshmallow texture. More about aerating.

 

Color/ flavor injecting

6

Adding a splash of color

The sugar mass can be divided into four streams. Inject different vibrant colors and/or delicious flavors into each of the streams to create marshmallows in a rainbow of colors and with a variety of patterns. Static mixers ensure the thorough mixing of mass, colors and flavors.

 

Forming

7

Shaping the marshmallows

Marshmallows can be formed by depositing or extruding them onto a starch band. Deposit the mass to create fantastical shapes such as a variety of animals. Extrude the mass to create a more classic marshmallow shape or twist the mass during extrusion for twisted marshmallows.

 

Starch handling and cutting

8

Finalizing the product

Cover the finished marshmallows with starch to prevent them from sticking to each other and to the machinery. They can then be cut into their final shape.
