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: The invention concerns a method of constructing a plastic rope used in the manufacture of hard bonbons with a stratified core that is made out of multiple layers of plastic sugar and plastic filling. The ropes are brought independently of one another to a predetermined thickness and width. Plastic filling is constantly applied to at least one of the ropes and rolled into it from the side in such a way as to produce a tube that is closed into itself and that, after being dimensioned, is pushed along laterally into the rope of plastic coating with the edges overlapping in such a way that they adhere together. The accordingly prepared ropes are then introduced together into a rope shaper (conical roller), stretched farther horizontally if necessary, and supplied to the cutting machine.
