High speed forming, cutting and wrapping machine for a »Rocks« (face cut) type of sweets in double twist wrap

High speed forming, cutting and wrapping machine for hard boiled candies and soft caramels, toffees, chewy sweets, chewing gum and bubble-gum products in double twist wrap, arranged for a »Rocks« (face cut) type of sweets. The pieces are cut vertically from the (normally round) mass rope and are then turned by 90° to be pushed horizontally into the mould wheel. Thus, the cut surface (different colors and designs) becomes visible. The U1-TR is equipped with water-cooled guillotine knife with intermittent rope feed, as well as automatic splicer to change wrapping material reels without stopping the machine. The wrapping material is fed continuously from a reel and is automatically
engaged by means of a rope scanner.
