Abstract
Disclosed is a method for manufacturing chewing gum, the method including feeding one or more gum ingredients including at least an elastomer into a continuous extruder including a plurality of screws, rotating screws and mixing the one or more ingredients via the rotating of the screws within the continuous extruder, forming a partial chewing gum base via the mixing of the one or more ingredients, creating a flow of the partial chewing gum base including the one or more ingredients through the continuous extruder towards a downstream extent of the plurality of screws via the rotating, and conveying the flow of the partial chewing gum base to a region of the continuous extruder that is proximate the downstream extent of the plurality of screws, wherein the flow includes a temperature of less than 90 degrees Celsius when the flow reaches the downstream extent of the plurality of screws. Some independent claims relate to a flow reaching two different temperatures that are within 20 degrees Celsius. Some independent claims relate to systems comprising extruders having at least three screws. Some independent claims relate to methods for making chewing gums comprising among others the step of feeding an elastomer into a planetary roller extruder.
