ВНУТРИ ЗАВОДА М_М_С, ДЕЛАЮЩЕГО МАШИНЫ(720P_HD). by Алексей Крылов
The technological process of forming M & M® candies:
1. Liquid chocolate is poured into tiny molds to create a chocolate core of sweets. (If it's peanut or almond M&M candies, the chocolate covers whole peanuts or almonds. When making M&Ms peanut butter chocolate, the peanut butter core is first made and then surrounded by chocolate. The further production process is essentially the same for all varieties of chocolate.)
2 After the candies are formed, they are "rolled" to make the chocolate core smooth and rounded. Then they are allowed to freeze.
Coverage
When the chocolates become solid, they are transported along a conveyor belt to the coating area, where a process called molding is performed.
During molding, candies in large containers are turned over, and liquid candy made from sugar and corn syrup is sprayed on them. Layers are applied to rotating chocolates at regular intervals. These gaps allow each layer to dry. After each layer, an even layer remains- a shell of dry candy mass. Several layers are applied to the chocolate core to ensure an even coating of each piece.
5 The dye is added to the finishing syrup and applied as the last layer. Each serving has its own color. Finally, the liquid candy dries out and turns into a hardened shell.
Printing
6 Mixtures of red, yellow, blue, green, brown and orange colors are obtained from single-color batches. They are then fed into a machine that stamps the letter "m" on the shells. A special conveyor belt delivers the workpieces to this machine. Each candy is located in a separate recess. The workpiece passes under rubber etching rollers, which gently press each candy against the letter "m". This machine is specially designed for applying the letter "m" without cracking the thin shell of sweets.
The process used is similar to the process of printing with an impression.
