Automatic, batch-wise pulling machines suitable to quickly pull both hard and soft sugar batches. They provide the batch with the desired finish and the required texture, while also reducing the density of the product. Batch size: 40 ÷ 70 kgs (*) depending on product composition and process parameters and requirements Sugar pulling machines Originally patented by Ruffinatti in 1970s, horizontal pulling machines, designed to pull hard or soft candy batches inside a totally enclosed pulling area, introduced a new concept of safe automation. Capacity: up to 60 kg batches, depending on processed product. Pulling operation carried out by two vertical spinning arms, covered with teflon sleeves, which are lowered into the batch, sitting on a water cooled table with non sticking top, when pulling cycle starts. Pulling cycle first starts at low speed, to ensure proper positioning of the sugar batch around the arms, then switches to high pulling speed after a pre-set time. High pulling speed and long stretch considerably reduce pulling time normally required on other conventional pullers. While the TZ.40 model requires operator assistance for loading and discharge, the TZ.60 is equipped with an hydraulic unloading pusher designed to discharge the batch off the front side of …
