The cooling drum is a machine designed to continuously process casting molds. Its work is to remove the sand from the pieces, break the slugs, cool both the sand and the pieces and deliver the pieces and the sand separately, homogenizing the sand to be processed for reuse.
Cooling drum is the automatic and compact solution to condition the mass received by the cooker, in continuous or by batch, transforming it into a continuous film which, thanks to a dedicated and accurate tempering system, is delivered to the down stream stages at uniform and consistent conditions and special application for sugar free hard candy and lollipops.
The liquid toffee is poured into the machine hopper. Chilled water cools the internal surface of the drum. As the drum rotates, a layer of toffee adheres to the outer surface of the cooling drum. The toffee is cooled and scraped off automatically at the other end. Full control is available of cooling, toffee thickness and machine speed. Cooling drums allow continuous cooling instead of the usual batch method using cooling tables. The cooling drum is manufactured from stainless steel for easy cleaning and maintenance.
