Most of us really love chewing gum. But we don’t necessarily think about how it’s made. Ever wonder how those chewy treats get made? Let’s see what the fascinating world of chewing gum-making machines looks like today.
To make chewing gum by machine entails a number of key stages. It starts with combining ingredients such as sugar, corn syrup, and flavors. These items are measured out according to a formula to generate the proper gum base. After preparing the base, it gets rolled into thin sheets and cut into tiny pieces.
Then the gum is flavored and colored. This is where it gets fun! Different colors and flavors of gum are sprayed by machines. They taste great because these machines have special nozzles for spraying just the right amount of flavor.
The gum is then flavored and colored and turned into various shapes. Machines shape the gum into forms we know and love, such as sticks, balls and squares. These machines make them each in perfect shape, making sure that every piece of gum looks how it tastes.
That’s not all machines can do, by a long shot. They speed up and normalize the production of chewing gum. That means All The Gum tastes just as yummy as it did the previous time, so we get a better chewing experience.
Machines are used in gum production to make work safer for people as well. Robots can do the dangerous tasks, such as mixing and molding, which reduces the chance of accidents and injury. It even makes the chewing gum industry a safer and better place to work.
As for the future of machine-made chewing gum, the future looks bright!» Companies are constantly developing new technologies, making ever more precise and efficient gum. Machines will continue to play an important part in producing the tasty treats we know and love, ensuring that chewing gum remains a small snack food segment.
