FIELD: food industry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to confectionary industry. The chewing gum sheet production method envisages heated chewing gum composition expression from the extruder in the form of a flat blank with sticky surface. Then the chewing gum sheet is passed through at least one cutting roller with an anti-sticking agent used in an amount of no more than 0.18% of the blank weight. Then the blank is passed through at least one cooled roller for formation of a chewing gum sheet having the preset dimensions. The cooled roller temperature is maintained within the range of 0°C - -15°C. Additionally proposed is an installation for chewing gum sheet production. The installation includes an extruder for expressing heated chewing gum in the form of a flat blank with sticky surface, a conveyor, a system for targeted supply of air for cooling the flat chewing gum blank on the conveyor and at least one cooled roller for formation of a chewing gum sheet having the preset dimensions. The system for production of chewing gum products includes a mixer for chewing gum mass production, an extruder for expressing heated chewing gum in the form of a flat blank with sticky surface, a cooled moulding-and-cutting unit and a cooled conveyor device. The cooled unit includes at least one cooled roller with a temperature of 0°C - -15°C.
EFFECT: invention enables considerable reduction or complete exclusion of the necessity to use lubricating materials or powdery additives for prevention of sticking in the process of chewing gum manufacture.
