Abstract: Disclosed is a system for forming and cooling gum, the system including a forming system configured to size the gum to include a substantially uniform thickness, a cooling device that is disposed in-line with the forming system and configured to continuously receive the gum from the forming system at an entry point of the cooling device, and a multi-pass conveying system configured to continuously transport the gum from the entry point to an exit point of the cooling device, the forming system and the cooling device being configured to form and cool the gum to be in a condition for stacking or collecting upon exiting the exit point of the cooling device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming gum, the method including providing a pair of moving walls including a first wall and a second wall; and sizing a gum mass into a gum sheet having a substantially uniform thickness between about 0.3 mm to 10 mm using the pair of walls, the gum mass maintaining substantially continuous contact with at least one of the walls before and after the sizing.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for forming gum, the method including providing a pair of rollers including a first roller and a second roller, and sizing a gum mass into a substantially continuous and flat gum sheet having a substantially uniform thickness between about 0.3 mm to 10 mm and a width of not less than 50 cm solely via a moving of the gum mass through a gap between the pair of rollers.
