Highlights - Machines Exhibited – Proform Stand 1/B31

Proform invites visitors to come and learn about their new wider machinery range, with the creation of their branch in Germany, specializing in cooking, mixing and preparation, completing the original Proform range.

 

Lollipop Forming Line

From ingredient weighing, cooking to forming, centre filling & rope sizing: an Extruder GE 100-BR, coupled to a Batch Roller HB4 - 1500/1, center-fills rolled hard candy with bubble gum or soft candy, ready for manufacturers’ final shaping and wrapping.

 

For manufacturers making lollipops using a batch roller to form the rope of hard candy,

Proform’s Filling Extruder can be retrofitted into their existing production line, to increase the

product spectrum to make single or double filled lollipops.

 

The BR type extruder supplies a very constant and regular amount of filling into the product rope

being formed by the batch roller.

 

Double Filled Lollipops An option possible with the Filling Extruder is a second inner filling: making a final product with two fillings. Add a burst of flavor with a semi-liquid filling inside of the bubble gum filling.

 

Continuous Processing of Soft Candy – No Down-Time

The Proform MI Intruder is a single machine with the functions of four machines, with no labor:

-      cooling, crystallizing, mixing in ingredients and extrusion of the soft candy into ropes to constantly supply downstream forming lines.

Proform personnel will be available on site to explain the significant advantages of this Continuous Process as well as its economical functioning.

 

Continuous Mixer ME

Also on display, a Continuous Mixer equipped with dosing units replaces traditional mixing in batches, to streamline overall the production process both in terms of quantity and in quality.

 

As there is no metering of ingredients by operators, hygiene is enhanced, with greater accuracy . Similarly, there is no handling of the product between the mixer and the downstream forming line. Importantly, there is practically no cleaning phase required between products, so recipe changeovers are simple and quick.

 

Manufacturers of biscuits or crackers, cookies, pasta or noodles… can replace their batch mixers with a continuous one. A Proform ME Continuous Mixer constantly supplies fresh dough to client’s down-stream forming equipment. With its non-stop process, a Continuous Mixer eliminates the difficulties associated with processing hardened or dried-out dough made batch-wise.

 

A Continuous Mixer is also perfectly suited for pet food manufacturing, easily handling multiple recipes, different ingredients and supplements...

Ball Former BF 1002

This former can shape a solid rope or a hollow product rope, with a semi-liquid or powder filling, into a variety of spherical shapes, from balls to eggs or pears, to tennis balls or lentils…

 

A Proform Ball Former can shape both mini up to mammoth sized spherical products on the same machine.

 

Products handled: bubble or chewing gum, grained chewy candy, hard candy, plastic or feed type products.

 

 

KE Cooker Extruder 

Licorice or fruit gum is cooked, mixed, dehumidified and pressed though the die-system, forming laces or bites, wound wheels, filled tubes or twists… in single or multiple colors. With or without sugar paste fillings.

 

A controlled cooking temperature yields a constant throughput, with a low moisture product.

The self-cleaning system means that product changeovers are simple and are quick. This also

ensures minimal waste when starting & stopping production.

 

The KE is an economical production solution, requiring little operator intervention.
