SYSTEM AND METHOD OF REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CHEWING GUM Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A23G4/02 

FIELD: cooling.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to production of chewing gums. Chewing gum cooling system comprises the cooling body, the transport device, which is configured in order to transport the chewing gum from the entry point to the exit point of the mentioned cooling body. In the first option of the invention, the body has 2 cooling systems, which are configured in order to allow the cold to flow to the upper and lower cooling media, respectively. Moreover, the stated conveying unit at least partially separates the upper cooling medium from the lower one, which are separated from each other as per the fluid medium. In the second option, there is the cooling system for ensuring the cold output to the body and the humidity control system in order to maintain the humidity level below the dew point of the atmosphere inside the body or the level of water activity in the chewing gum. In the third option of the invention, there is the convection cooling system with the series of fans, which are oriented parallel to the conveying device and configured in order to provide flow of cooling fluid to the chewing gum. Moreover, the flow of the cooling fluid moves along the circular contour and passes through the gum in the direction, which is perpendicular to the flow of the chewing gum through the system. In the fourth option of the invention, the convection cooling system is arranged in order to ensure that the cold is released to the upper cooling medium and the system of conduction cooling in order to ensure the return of cold to the lower cooling medium. In the fifth option, the gas cooling system is provided in order to ensure that the cold is released to the upper cooling medium and the liquid cooling system in order to ensure the return of cold to the lower cooling medium.

EFFECT: inventions allow to prevent the rupture of the chewing gum bundle when passing through the cooling body.
