CF4 Candy Former

The CF4 candy former is at the heart of the candy processing line and has therefore been designed with strength and durability as its main assets. A substantial cast iron frame supports the drive, candy feed rollers, die head and the integral conveyor/spreader discharge.

The candy former has a number of features, which make it an ideal choice for candy manufacturers.

• Die rotation speed is variable by AC Inverter
• The speed of the infeed rollers can be varied relative to the speed of the die, which is particularly useful for difficult
  products like chewy candy
• The main drive is through timing belts to reduce noise level and moving parts
• Spreader conveyor motor is independent and adjustable
• Integral fan to force air to the spreader conveyor, die and candy feed rollers
• Scrap tray under the die with outlet for connection to a dust extraction unit
• Spring loaded one piece pressure cam with cam rollers (optional pneumatic control)
• Automatic lubrication to cams and bearings
• Automatic matrix ring pressure relief to reduce die wear
• Fast die removal by use of clamps and sliding pull back cams
• Overhead crane feature to allow easy removal of die front cover
• Smooth lines for easy cleaning

Output
A maximum of 100 die revolutions per minute can be achieved. For asweet diameter of 20mm weighing 5 grams this equates to 1320kgs/hour.
