Bazooka Packing Machine High-Speed Chewing Gum and Confectionery Packaging Solution

In the confectionery industry, efficient and reliable packaging is essential for maintaining product quality, improving production speed, and presenting products professionally in the market. The Bazooka Packing Machine GES1_MN450_022 is a high-speed confectionery packaging solution designed for efficient forming, cutting, and wrapping of chewing gum and other confectionery products.

Manufactured by General Engineering Works, this machine is designed to work with modern confectionery production lines and can be connected with equipment such as a rope sizing machine, extruder, and cooling tunnel.

What Is a Bazooka Packing Machine?

A Bazooka Packing Machine is an industrial packaging machine used to form, cut, and wrap confectionery products into individual packs. It is particularly suitable for chewing gum, caramels, chewy candy, and toffees.

The GES1_MN450_022 is designed for high-speed production and can handle approximately 400 to 450 pieces per minute, making it suitable for confectionery manufacturers looking to improve their packaging capacity.

GES2_MN112_025 Coating Pan Features

The Coating Pan GES2_MN112_025 combines a strong construction with an efficient coating system to support continuous industrial production.

Stainless Steel 304 Pan

The product-contact pan is manufactured from food-grade Stainless Steel 304. This provides a hygienic and durable surface suitable for confectionery processing.

150–200 KG Capacity

The machine offers a 150–200 KG batch capacity, making it suitable for medium- and large-scale bubble gum and confectionery production facilities.

Powerful 1.5 kW Drive Motor

A 1.5 kW drive motor provides smooth and continuous pan rotation. The rotating action helps distribute sugar or chocolate coating evenly over the products.

0.5 kW Blower Motor

The integrated 0.5 kW blower motor provides consistent airflow during the coating process. Proper airflow helps dry the coating evenly and improves the final product finish.

Heavy-Duty Drive Gear

The machine uses a 100-number drive gear designed for stable and reliable pan rotation during industrial operation.

Advanced Control Panel

The coating pan comes with a modern control panel that allows operators to manage the machine efficiently during production.

Heavy-Duty MS Structure

The outer structure is built using heavy duty mild steel, providing the strength and stability required for continuous industrial operation.

Bubble Gum Coating Applications

The GES2_MN112_025 can be used for coating different bubble gum shapes with sugar or chocolate.

It is suitable for:

  • Spherical bubble gum
  • Elliptical bubble gum
  • Watermelon-shaped bubble gum
  • Dinosaur egg-shaped bubble gum
  • Flagon-shaped bubble gum
  • Other novelty bubble gum shapes

The machine helps manufacturers achieve a consistent coating and attractive surface finish across different product designs.

Sugar and Chocolate Coating

One of the major advantages of the coating pan is its ability to work with both sugar and chocolate coating applications.

Uniform coating is important because it improves the appearance, texture, and overall presentation of confectionery products. The rotating pan and controlled airflow help distribute the coating across the product surface while supporting an even drying process.

Foil-Wrapped Chocolate Polishing

The coating pan can also be used for polishing certain columnar chocolate products packed in colorized aluminized foil.

During the polishing process, the foil can be wrapped smoothly around the product, helping maintain a clean and distinct package shape. This makes the machine useful for confectionery manufacturers working with both bubble gum and selected chocolate products.

How Does a Coating Pan Work?

The coating process can be divided into several simple stages.

Step 1: Product Loading

Bubble gum pieces or suitable foil-wrapped chocolate products are loaded into the Stainless Steel 304 coating pan.

Step 2: Pan Rotation

The 1.5 kW drive motor rotates the pan. As the pan rotates, the products tumble gently, helping distribute the coating across their surfaces.

Step 3: Coating and Drying

Sugar or chocolate coating is applied while the products continue rotating. The blower provides airflow to support even drying of the coating.

Step 4: Final Polishing

After the coating process, the products receive a smooth and attractive finish. Foil-wrapped products can also achieve a tighter and cleaner appearance.

General Engineering Works Confectionery Machinery Manufacturer

Although primarily designed for bubble gum manufacturing, industrial Z-arm mixers can be suitable for a range of thick and viscous confectionery formulations, depending on the formulation and machine configuration.

Potential applications may include:

  • Bubble gum production
  • Chewing gum manufacturing
  • Confectionery mass preparation
  • High-viscosity food mixtures
  • Other products requiring intensive kneading and mixing

Manufacturers should select the machine configuration according to their specific formulation, production capacity, and processing requirements.
