Abstract: A device for producing fondant and a method for producing fondant are provided. The device is suitable for the continuous production of fondant from a saccharide-containing solution, having a temperature above or in the range of the saturation point, i.e. boiling temperature. The device is formed from a transport screw having a cooled stator and a cooled rotor for cooling the saccharide-containing solution and for inducing crystallization.

Abstract: Described is a conveyor for confections having the design that the material is conveyed along a flow path which is essentially free from abrupt detours or direction changes. In the case of utilization of helix rotors as conveyors this occurs in that the helical rotors (3, 11) are mounted respectively on only one of their ends and the discharge column (10, 20) is provided in essentially the axial direction. These columns may be conical and preferably coaxial but in certain cases may also be slightly eccentric to the axis of the helical rotors.

Abstract: A cooker designed for sugar products in the form of a tube heat exchanger, in which within a jacket housing a bundle of narrowly spaced pipes flow through by a heat medium extend, which pipes are flowed over by material which are supplied and withdrawn by pipe fittings along the side, wherein deflection plates are provided within the jacket housing which define flow chambers and openings for the transition of the materials to be treated from one flow chamber to the next, thereby characterized, that the deflection plates (5) along a narrow edge area are provided with segment like openings (6) and these openings are situated on diametrically opposing sides of the inner wall of the jacket housing (1), wherein the opening in the first deflection plate in the flow direction lies opposite the introduction pipe fitting (11) for the material and the opening of the last deflection plate lies opposite the withdrawal pipe fitting (12).
