Sugar paste extrusion: a special project

Live-Tech (Guarene, CN) is known mainly as a builder of machinery and systems for shaping, filling and closing packaging cartons.

The Piedmont-based concern’s offer also includes a wide variety of special solutions that have been designed and created ad hoc for individual users. Among its biggest recent successes is the LSS-ECP for continuous extrusion of sugar paste.
It’s a very compact system that has been optimized to minimize cleaning times when processing differently colored pastes. Another prerogative of LSS-ECP is its capacity for guaranteeing constant portioning, including with non-stick paper underneath, which is made possible using integrated circular blade cutting and electronic tracking of the paste.
The Live-Tech system is rounded out with a scale whose retroactive weight control enables continuously adjusting the cutting length. Any discrepancies in the specific weight of the paste portion is thus compensated in real time, guaranteeing accuracy.
