Preforming line for candy rope production
Achieve consistent sugar ropes and lollipop centers with precise forming and sizing, enhancing product quality and operational efficiency in high-speed confectionery production.

Extrudes, Forms, and Sizes Sugar and Confectionery Ropes
The Carugil Preforming Line is engineered for the seamless production of sugar ropes and lollipops, meeting the precise needs of candy and confectionery manufacturers. It integrates multiple stages—extrusion with the optional CSTR extruder, forming through the CBC-120 batch roller, and sizing via the CRC-4 rope sizer—delivering a continuous flow of either solid or center-filled products. The line supports a throughput of up to 450 kg/h, tailored for high-speed operations in confectionery plants. Constructed from stainless steel, it ensures durability and resistance to corrosion. The system features advanced control with a main cabinet, allowing for precise temperature and speed synchronization with downstream equipment. Safe, clean operations are prioritized with stainless steel contact areas and safety protections. This solution supports your production’s accuracy and efficiency, integrating seamlessly into existing lines and offering customization options to meet specific production requirements.
