Hard Candy Lollipop Making Machine

Automatic Lollipop Production Line – Precise Stick Insertion & Diverse Molding

This production line is a lollipop-specific equipment optimized based on hard candy technology, integrating the full process of "high-temperature cooking → vacuum concentration → flavoring & coloring → precise pouring/pressing → automatic stick insertion → gradient cooling → molding & solidification". The key difference from ordinary hard candy lies in the addition of an automatic stick insertion and positioning system and lollipop-specific molds.

1. Raw Material Pretreatment: White sugar and glucose syrup are accurately measured according to the formula, screened to remove impurities and mixed evenly;
2. High-Temperature Cooking: Mixed raw materials are injected into a vacuum cooking pot, cooked at 155-165℃, and vacuumized to remove moisture simultaneously;
3. Vacuum Concentration: Vacuum degree -0.085~-0.095MPa, concentrating the moisture content of sugar to ≤2.5% to avoid moisture absorption and sticking of finished products;
4. Flavoring & Coloring: Adding children-friendly food flavoring and natural coloring, stirring quickly for integration (adapting to mainstream flavors such as fruit and milk);
5. Precise Molding: The sugar is injected into specific molds through pouring nozzles (or formed by pressing), and the mold temperature is preheated to 60-70℃ to prevent cracking due to rapid cooling of sugar;
6. Automatic Stick Insertion: The stick feeding system automatically supplies food-grade sticks at preset intervals, inserting them precisely into the center of the sugar, insertion depth 8-10mm (adjustable);
7. Gradient Cooling: Passing through a 12m cooling tunnel with 3-stage gradient cooling (60℃→30℃→15℃), cooling time 20-25 minutes, ensuring the candy does not fall off after solidification;
8. Demolding & Finishing: Automatic demolding, screening defective products, removing burrs, and completing pre-packaging finishing.
