Q&A

• Can you explain the precision and coordination involved in the production process?

  The candy rope moves through a series of components in a wave-like fashion, with two angled belts twisting the candy rope, followed by a chain of knives cutting it to candy cane size. The production process requires precision and coordination to avoid snarls and ensure the correct shaping of the candy canes.

• How do machines shape candy canes?

  Machines use cylinders to roll the candy thinner, a torch to keep the candy pliable, and wheels to slim down the candy further to achieve the desired candy cane shape.

• What is the production process for candy canes?

  The production of candy canes involves rolling the candy into fat logs, heating it to make it pliable, shaping it into colored strips, and then further stretching and folding the candy strips using a batch roller for processing.

• How is the candy mixture prepared and aerated?

  The candy mixture is prepared by cooking a batch of sugar water and corn syrup, mixing starch and flavoring to create a flavored mix, and then emptying the flavoring mix into a syrupy slab. It is aerated by being folded using shovels and a plunger for even flavor distribution, while automated pullers stretch the candy around a metal post to aerate it and turn it white.

• What ingredients are used to make candy?

  Candy makers use sugar water, corn syrup, starch, and flavorings like peppermint or strawberry to create a syrupy slab.
