Definitions
- the disclosure relates generally to a gum processing system and method, and more particularly to a system and method for forming and cooling gum.
- gum that is formed and sized into desirable dimensions must be cooled and then conditioned for up to 48 hours before the folded slabs, sheets, or pellets can be stacked on top of each other or collected together without sticking.
- a powder or particulate material is typically added to the gum at some point during the processing, so as to further prevent the gum from sticking to various components of the gum processing line, as well as sticking to other gum pieces during stacking.
- Gum conditioning that lasts for extended periods of time can cause an undesirable interruption in the processing and eventual packaging of gum pieces.
- application of powder (and the removal thereof) can increase energy consumption of the overall system, and have an undesirable effect on the final product if the powder is not effectively removed.
- a system for forming and cooling gum including a forming system configured to size the gum to include a substantially uniform thickness between about 0.3 mm to 10 mm, a cooling device that is disposed in-line with the forming system and configured to continuously receive the gum from the forming system at an entry point of the cooling device, and a multi-pass conveying system configured to continuously transport the gum from the entry point to an exit point of the cooling device, the forming system and the cooling device being configured to form and cool the gum to be in a condition for stacking or collecting upon exiting the exit point of the cooling device.

- Figure IB is a partial schematic and perspective illustration of the system of a system for forming and cooling gum according to a first exemplary embodiment
- Figure 2 is a schematic and perspective illustration of a system for forming and cooling gum according to another exemplary embodiment
- Figure 3 is a partial schematic illustration of a system for forming and cooling gum according to yet another exemplary embodiment.
- Figure 4 is a schematic and perspective illustration of a system for forming and cooling gum according to still another exemplary embodiment.
- Chewing gum comprises in large part of components that are usually never swallowed, gum base, which is the rubber-like chewing component. Chewing gum also comprises a consumed portion including sweeteners, flavors and the like, and may also include other candy or food product integrated therewith in layers or as ingredients.
- the gum base is relatively unique in food processing in that it introduces the material with a resiliency and elasticity relative to processing and also provides a relatively non-conductive or insulating material that does not transfer heat very well. This provides unique processing difficulties. Relative to processing, the temperature of the processed gum product greatly affects viscosity as well as other processing characteristics such as elasticity and resiliency.
- any recited gum may include, but not be limited to, compositions ranging from and inclusive of compounded elastomer to finished gum, which may include compounded elastomer in addition to some compounding aids, master batch gum base, compounded elastomer in addition to some subsequent gum ingredients, compounded elastomer in addition to some gum base ingredients and some subsequent gum ingredients, gum base, gum base in addition to some subsequent gum ingredients, master batch finished gum, and finished gum.
- the system includes a forming apparatus or system portion 12 that forms/sizes a gum mass 15 (which is mixed to include desirable ingredients in a gum mixer 14) into a gum slab 16 including a desirable thickness, such as a substantially uniform thickness between about, lmm to 60mm, and more particularly .3mm to 10mm over the whole slab 16 or at least a portion of the slab 16, and a desirable width, such as a substantially uniform width that is greater than 50cm over the whole slab 16 or at least a portion of the slab 16, between 5mm and 2000mm over the whole slab 16 or at least a portion of the slab 16, or between 225mm and 450mm over the whole slab 16 or at least a portion of the slab 16.
- a desirable thickness such as a substantially uniform thickness between about, lmm to 60mm, and more particularly .3mm to 10mm over the whole slab 16 or at least a portion of the slab 16
- a desirable width such as a substantially uniform width that is greater than 50cm over the whole slab 16 or at least a portion of the slab 16,
- the system 10 also includes a cooling device 18 (such as cooling housing 18 shown in the Figures without a front wall) that is disposed in-line with the forming apparatus 12 and configured to continuously receive the gum slab 16 from the forming apparatus 12 at an entry point 20 of the cooling housing 18.
- the cooling housing 18 includes a multi-pass conveying apparatus or system portion 21 that continuously transports the gum slab 16 from the entry point 20 to an exit point 22, thereby cooling the gum slab 16 to a point of being in condition for stacking (without sticking) upon exiting the cooling housing 18.
- the gum mass 15 is prepared for forming and cooling within the system 10 via gum mixer 14.
- the gum mixer 14 mixes the gum to include desirable ingredients and a desirable consistency.
- the resulting gum mass 15 is then transported to the forming apparatus 12 of the gum system 10.
- the gum mixer 14 may be disposed in line with the gum system 10, such that the gum system 10 continuously receives the gum mass 15 from the mixer 14 via a device such as a conveyor belt.
- the gum mass 15 is transported from the mixer 14 to a pre-extruding device 24, which extrudes the mass as a gum slab 15a.
- this pre-extruder 24 may be removed from the system 10, and the gum mass 15 may simply be transported directly to collection area 25 (which may include a collection device such as the hopper 27 shown in Figure 2) disposed immediately upstream of a gap between rollers 26 and 28.
- the pre-extruded slab 15a may also collect at the collection area
- a desirable thickness such as a substantially uniform thickness (over at least a portion thereof) between about 0.3 mm to 10 mm.
- oil is applied to the lower roller 28, and therefore the gum, via oil applicator 30.
- oil may also be applied via applicator to the upper roller 26, and/or directly to the gum slab 16, slab 15a, or mass 15.
- the forming apparatus 12 may include multiple sets of rollers 26 and 28 (three sets in an exemplary embodiment) that each receive a gum mass 15 or pre-extruded slab 15a and deform the gum mass or pre-extruded slab into multiple slabs 16 of a desirable thickness (three slabs in an exemplary embodiment) that are stacked one on top of the other to form a multi-layer slab of gum to be transported to downstream areas of the system 10.
- the gum slab 16 Upon being pulled through and exiting the gap between the counter rotating rollers 26 and 28 (the counter rotation of the roller pulling the gum through the gap), the gum slab 16 is transported along a relative back of the lower roller 28 down to a conveyor 29.
- the conveyor 29 transports the gum slab 16 to an optional smoothing roller 32, which smoothes and removes irregularities from an upper surface of the slab 16.
- the now desirably sized slab 16 (desirably sized with regards to at least width and thickness) is then ready for continuous transport to the cooling housing 18.
- the cooling housing 18 is positioned in line with the forming apparatus 12 so as to continuously receive the gum slab 16 from the forming apparatus 12 via a conveyor belt 34.
- the gum slab 16 is continually transported via conveyor 34 to the entry point 20, which is an opening to the housing disposed at a relatively upper portion thereof.
- This conveyor 34 transports the slab 16 to the multi-pass conveying system 21 disposed within the cooling housing 18, and does so continuously in that the slab is transported from the forming apparatus 12 to the cooling housing 18 without having to place the gum in holding area (such as an area for conditioning).
- continuous transporting or receiving may be defined as transporting or receiving with necessitating placement in a holding area.
- the area of the conveyor 34 which is between the forming apparatus 12 (ending at the forming roller 32) and the cooling housing 18, may be absent any gum processing equipment beyond merely transporting equipment such as the conveyor 34.
- this area of the conveyor 34 may optionally include processing equipment such as but not limited to gum drying equipment, a particulate adding equipment, printing equipment, spraying equipment, and rollers configured to at least one form, smooth, cut, and score.
- the exemplary embodiment of Figure 1 shows a system 21 that includes a series of vertically displaced conveyor belts 36a-k.
- the vertically displaced belts 36a-k allow for the multiple passes of the multi-pass conveying system 21. While the conveying system 21 of this embodiment shows eleven belts 36a-k, it should be appreciated that any number of belts may be used to impart a desirable amount of cooling to the gum slab 16.
- the housing 18 may include entry and exit openings (that are closable via doors) at levels of each belt 36a-k.
- the gum slab 16 As the gum slab 16 enters the housing 18 it is disposed upon conveyor belt 36a.
- Belt 36a transports the gum slab 16 from the entry point 20 to an end of belt 36a disposed opposite of the entry point 20.
- the gum slab 16 Upon reaching the end of the belt 36a, the gum slab 16 falls to a lower belt moving in an opposing direction to belt 36a. In Figure 1, this belt is 36b.
- the gum slab may fall to any lower belt moving in an opposing direction. For example, when the gum slab 16 reaches an end of belt 36b, it falls to directionally opposite belt 36e, thereby by-passing belts 36c-d.
- This by-passing of belts can be beneficial to the system in that allows the gum slab 16 to have a larger turn radius that is less likely to damage the integrity of the gum slab 16.
- the bypassing of various belts may be assisted by guide shields disposed between vertically adjacent belts (such as belt 36b and belt 36c).
- transportation of the gum slab 16 between vertically adjacent belts is assisted via the horizontal staggering or offset of each vertically adjacent belt as shown in Figure 1.
- the gum slab 16 will include enough passes (i.e. be transported by enough belts) along the multi-pass system 21 and residence time within the cooling housing 18 to cool the slab to a desirable temperature.
- this cooling is imparted to the slab via convective and conductive cooling, and cools the gum slab 16 from a temperature at or above 40°C upon entry at the entry point 20 to a temperature at or below 25°C upon exit at the exit point 22.
- the gum slab is cooled to 0-20°C, more specifically 10°C-20°C, and even more specifically 15°C at the exit point 22. It is notable that, in an exemplary embodiment of the system 10, temperature change decreases with each subsequent pass through the housing 18. That is, temperature change in the first pass will be greater than temperature change in the second pass, and even greater than temperature change in the last pass (should the housing 18 include more than two passes). Further, an exemplary embodiment of the system 10 employs a residence time of approximately 6 minutes in order to cool the gum slab 16 (particularly a gum slab including a thickness of about 5.5mm) to a temperature at or below 25°C.
- the cooling housing 18 and multi-pass system 21 cool the gum slab 16
- the slab 16 includes two surfaces available for cooling (i.e. the upper and lower surfaces of the slab 16 relative to the belt carrying the slab).
- a housing and multi-pass system able to cool the slab 16 at these two surfaces would be desirable and efficient relative to a system that could only cool at one of the surfaces.
- FIG 1A exemplary embodiments of the housing 18 and multi-pass system 21, as capable of cooling the slab 16 at both surfaces of the slab, are illustrated.
- convective currents 35 circulating within the housing and around/between the belts 36a-k may cool the upper or exposed surfaces 33 of the slab 16 via convection.
- these currents 35 are cross flow currents that run horizontally perpendicular to gum flow (despite the more vertical direction of the arrows demonstrating current flow 35 as shown in Figure 1A).
- the currents 35 (along with any cooling created by the cooled belts) may create an internal housing air temperature of 5° to 10°C.
- These convective currents 35 may be achieved via any known means for forcing air within a cooling housing, such as but not limited to cross flow forced convection achieved via slot fans or other fans, which has the effect of removing heat from the gum slab 16.
- the lower surfaces 37 of the slab 16 may also be cooled via conductive cooling imparted from the cooled belts 36a-k.
- the belts 36a- k may be cooled in any desirable manner, such as but not limited to a fluid circulation system 39 as shown by way of example in belt 36a (shown in cross-section).
- a fluid circulation system 39 as shown by way of example in belt 36a (shown in cross-section).
- the system 39 includes a fluid channel 41 with fluid nozzles 43 configured to spray a chilled fluid onto a thermally conductive support 45 (just beneath a relative upper surface of the belt 36a).
- the cooled support 45 (which may be stainless steel) imparts a conductive cooling to the belt 36a, which thereby imparts conductive cooling to the slab 16.
- the slab 16 may be cooled at one surface (via either of the convective or conductive cooling discussed above), with the slab 16 requiring more residence time within the housing (via slower belts, more passes/belts, etc.) to compensate for the less efficient cooling.
- the multi-pass system 21 may include upper belts 42 configured to contact the upper surface 33 of the slab 16 at the same time the lower belts (i.e. 36a-d in this example) contact the lower surface 37 of the slab 16.
- the upper belts 42 are adjustably spaced from the lower belts 36a-d so as to create a gap 44 that is substantially equal to a thickness of the slab flowing therebetween.
- each of the belts 40 and 36a-k may be cooled via a fluid circulation system 39.
- the belts 40 will include systems 39 that are vertically reversed relative to that which is shown in belt 36a of Figure IB. That is, the fluid channel 41 is disposed in a relatively upper portion of the belts 40, and the conductive support 45 is disposed in a relatively lower portion, so as to impart conductive cooling to the upper surface 33 of the slab 16.
- the belts 40 and 36a-k rotate in opposite directions, thereby pulling the slab through the gap 44. This pulling of the slab through the gap 44 will cause little to no deformation or compression of the slab 16
- the gum slab 16 upon reaching the exit point 22 the gum slab 16 has been cooled via the above discussed cooling to a point where it is in condition for stacking.
- the slab 16 may be scored and cut into desirably sized and shaped sheets (the scoring being in a longitudinal direction of movement on the belts), and these sheets may be stacked in direct contact with each other without sticking to each other.
- scoring and cutting may occur via scoring rollers 38 and cutting rollers 40 disposed in proximity to the exit point 22.
- These scoring and cutting rollers 38 and 40 may be optionally cooled (via any desirable means for cooling rollers) so as to help maintain the cut pieces of the exiting slab 16 at a desirably cooled temperature.
- the pieces may then be transported to further processing and packaging systems.
- These systems may be disposed in line with the cooling housing 18 (and thus the rest of the gum system 10), such that the packaging system will eventually and continuously receive the gum from the cooling tunnel 18 via a device such as a conveyor belt.
- the system 10 may allow for in line, continuous processing of the gum from mixing to packaging.
- cooling of the gum may also occur via cooling housing 50 and multi-pass conveying system 52 as shown. It should be appreciated that the description and discussion above for the forming apparatus 12 and overall system 10 (including the conductive and convective cooling in the cooling housing) are also applicable in the below described embodiments as shown in Figures 2-4.
- the gum slab 16 is scored and cut into desirably shaped and sized gum pieces 54 via scoring rollers 38 and cutting rollers 40 disposed along or midstream of a flow path of the multi-pass conveying system 52 (as opposed to downstream of the exit point 22 thereof as shown in Figure 1).
- the gum slab 16 enters the cooling housing at entry point 20, and is disposed on conveyor belt 36a.
- Belt 36a then transports the gum slab 16 from the entry point 20 to an end of belt 36a disposed opposite of the entry point 20.
- the gum slab 16 falls to belt 36b, which is moving in an opposite direction of belt 36a.
- the gum slab 16 is then transported in an opposite end of belt 36b, and falls to belt 36c, which is moving in an opposite direction of belt 36b. It is at belt 36c where a substantial difference between the exemplary embodiments of Figures 1 and 2 is shown.
- belt 36c transports the gum slab to a mid-stream opening 56 in the housing 50.
- this opening 56 is shown in Figure 3 to be disposed at level of belts 36c and 36d, it should be appreciated that the opening 56 may be disposed at either side of the housing 18 and at any desirable level of any of the belts 36a-k via the openings and doors discussed with reference to Figure 1 above.
- These mid-stream openings, such as opening 56 allow the flow path of the multi-pass conveying system 52 to extend to a scoring and cutting area 58 disposed outside of the housing 50.
- the gum slab 16 travels away from the housing on a downwardly angled conveyor belt (not shown) to a horizontal conveyor belt (not shown) extending below and beyond an extent of the angled belt, in plane with a gap between the scoring and cutting rollers 38, 40.
- This horizontal belt which runs back towards the housing 18, then transports that slab 16 to the scoring and cutting rollers 38, 40, which pull the slab 16 through the gap therebetween.
- the scoring and cutting rollers 38, 40 score and cut the slab 16 into sheets 54, and deposit the sheets 54 onto return belt 60.
- the return belt 60 is illustrated on an upward angle, so as to compensate for the downwardly vertical distance the slab 16 traveled on the downwardly angled belt (which may travel down to almost floor level in order to reach the horizontal belt).
- the return belt 60 then returns the scored sheets 54 to the multi-pass conveying system 52 and cooling housing 50 by transporting the sheets 54 to belt 36d.
- the belt 36c may extend from the mid-stream opening 56 to a point above the scoring and cutting rollers 38, 40.
- the slab 16 may turn downwards towards the rollers 38, 40 around the belt 36c in a manner similar to the slab turn shown at belt 36a. In this manner, the extended belt 36c would support the gum slab 16 while in a pre-turn portion of the scoring and cutting area 58.
- the scoring and cutting may occur at an end of extended belt 36c or separate belt outside of the housing 18 supporting the slab 16 (i.e. in a relatively upper portion of the scoring and cutting area 58).
- the scored and cut sheets 54 in such an embodiment may then drop to an extended belt 36d or return belt 60 that may be inclined on a plane more parallel to belts 36c and 36d, and extend beyond an extent of belt 36c.
- the scoring and cutting simply takes place within the flow path of the multi-pass conveying system 52.
- the sheets 54 are back within the housing 18 on belt 36d, they are transported to an opposite end thereof, and fall to belt 36e, which runs in a direction opposite of belt 36d.
- the pellets 54 may then cascade down the reaming belts 36f-36k of the conveying system 52, assisted, as discussed above, by the horizontal staggering or offset of the belts.
- Guide shields may also be used to ensure that the pellets 54 fall from a belt to the belt vertically adjacent (i.e. immediately below) thereto.
- the pellets are cooled during their multi-pass residence time via convective and conductive cooling from a temperature at or above 40°C upon entry at the entry point 20 to a temperature at or below 25 °C upon exit at the exit point 22.
- the sheets 54 cooled to 10- 20°C, and more specifically 15°C at the exit point 22. The sheets 54 are thereby cooled to a point where they are in condition for stacking.
- the sheets 54 may break into pellets along the pellet shaped scores created by the scoring roller 38.
- the cooling of the sheets 54 along with falls from one belt to another in the housing 18 will facilitate this breaking if it is to occur. In this manner, either the sheets 54 or the pellets that the sheets break into will be collected in condition for stacking (i.e. not sticking) in bin 62 (where sheets 54 may also break into pellets).
- cooling housing 18 and conveying system 21 of Figure 1 may be replaced with a cooling roller system 100 including a series of cooling rollers 102a-c configured to continuously receive the gum slab 16 from the forming apparatus 12.
- This system 100 may include any number of rollers necessary to cool the gum slab 16 from a temperature at or above 40°C upon contact with the first roller 102a to a temperature at or below 25°C (more specifically 0-20°C, 10-20°C, or 15°C) upon release from the last roller in the series (roller 102c in Figure 3).
- such cooling of the gum surface may also be enhanced via addition of cooled air impinging against the outer gum surface, with the cooled air being supplied by slot fans or other kinds of fans.
- the slab 16 may be cooled to a point where it is in condition for stacking.
- cooling unit 200 includes two or more cooling housings 18a and 18b (each housing being substantially the same in structure and cooling methods and capabilities as that shown in Figure 1) disposed in line with each other such that the gum slab flows continuously
- Housing 18a continuously receives the gum slab 16 from the forming apparatus 12, and the slab 16 is continuously transported to exit point 22b of housing 18b.
- the unit 200 cools the gum slab 16 from a temperature at or above 40°C upon entry at the entry point 20a to a temperature at or below 25 °C upon exit at the exit point 22b.
- the gum slab is cooled to 10-20°C, and more specifically 15°C at the exit point 22b.
- scoring and cutting rollers 38 and 40 may also be disposed between the housings 18a and 18b, with slab being transported through housing 18a and pellets being transported through housing 18b.
- housings 18a or 18b may be replaced with housing 50 of Figure 2, a more conventional housing including a single pass, different airflow mechanisms, and/or different temperature ranges as desired.
- the area of the conveyor between the housings 18a and 18b may also be absent any gum processing equipment beyond merely transporting equipment such as the conveyor as shown. However, this area of the conveyor may optionally include processing equipment such as but not limited to gum drying equipment, a particulate adding equipment, printing equipment, spraying equipment, and rollers configured to at least one form, smooth, cut, and score.
- a relatively limited change in average gum thickness is caused by exemplary embodiments of the above discussed cooling housings and the above discussed cooling roller system.
- exemplary embodiments of the above housings and above roller system will create a thickness variation in the gum slab 16 of less than 1% between entry and exit of the housings and system.
- such an exit is located at exit 22, while the exit in the system 10 of Figure 2 may be opening 56 or exit 22, the exit in the system 200 of Figure 4 may be exit 22a or 22b, and the exit in Figure 3 is the area immediately downstream of the last roller 102c.
- forming/sizing rollers 26 and 28 may be replaced with any form of moving walls (such as but not limited to a roller and a conveyor belt) configured to size the gum mass 15 into a slab 16 including a desirable thickness, such as a substantially uniform thickness between about 0.3 mm to 10 mm.
- the forming apparatus 12 of Figures 1 and 2 may be replaced with extruder(s) and sizing rollers from a traditional rolling and scoring system.
- the forming system 12 may also include multiple forming apparatuses disposed in a series, such as that disclosed in U.S. Application No. 61/451805, the teachings and disclosures of which being hereby
