Overview
Continuous mixing extrusion is dedicated for medium or large scale production of chewing gum. With the WMF series, we offers the appropriate machine for the required production size and degree of automation. By using a mixing extrusion process the batch wise preparation of chewing gum is replaced with a number of benefits:
The Togum mixing extruders with two co-rotating intermeshing screws, minimal clearance and positive transport characteristics, ensure a high self-wiping effect
Hence on the fly recipe changes can be realized within short of time and with reduced scrap
Rework or product value enhancers like encapsulated flavors may be added directly into the process
Continuous mixing extruders WMF offer a high labor and resource efficiency due to an high degree of automation whereas floor space is used very economically
Continuous mixing extrusion ensures good reproducibility and constant high product mixing quality.

Technical information
specific screws design principle (high volume - low shear) ensuring smooth mixing of all ingredients.
only one screw configuration necessary for the preparation of a wide range of different recipes or ingredients: chewing gum - bubble gum, with sugar - sugarless, high/ low filler content, high/ low liquid or gum base ratio.
All ingredients are metered stoichiometrically into the process with gravimetric feeders from premium dosing equipment suppliers: every ingredient is fed instantaneously at the correct position, in the necessary quantity, with the correct process parameters into the machine.
Compared to a conventional batch mixer within this short time period high mixing, dispersion and homogenization is effected.
