Automatic extruding marshmallow prodution line,The ultimate solution for mass-producing high-quality marshmallows. This fully automated system can produce up to 60-1200kg/hrs of marshmallows per hour, ensuring that you can keep up with even the highest demand.
Feature of Extruding Marshmallow Production Line:
- 1 In the pre-mixer, all the ingredients to be dissolved and cooked.
- 2 Then the basic slurry is continuously pumped to a cooker till the final moisture level is reached.
- 3 After cooking, the slurry will be cooled and mixed with a separate whipping agent solution.
- 4 Then the cooled “marshmallow base” is passed through the continuous aerator.
- 5 The product then be divided and injection with different colors and flavors.
- 6 The multi-color product is extruded ,and transported on a cooling conveyor for cooling down;
- 7 The conditioned marshmallows are dusted top and bottom with starch, or a mixture of both starch and icing sugar in a separate dust cabin; the product is cut to the required length here.
- 8 The dust cabin is kept under a strict control to prevent the “dust” spreading throughout the plant. The excess starch/sugar is removed.

Some of the major parts of marshmallow production line include the following
Conveyor unit – The largest part of the marshmallow manufacturing machine is tasked with transporting ingredients to different production line stations.
The unit contains different conveyor belts, rails, and tubes for moving other processed marshmallow elements to various stations.
Sensors – These are devices, modules, and subsystems integrated into the marshmallow-making machine to detect numerous prompts and changes occurring.
Sensors relay signals to the electronic system of the equipment to trigger the computer system to respond accordingly.
Mixing tank – It is the production line component designed for mixing all different ingredients of making marshmallows.
The materials are heated to a set temperature, melted, and mixed homogeneously to attain uniformity.
Aerated System with color dosing unit
The aerated system plays a vital role in introducing air into the marshmallow mixture. Incorporating air, it helps create the characteristic light and fluffy texture that marshmallows are known for.
Molding unit – This part is designed for shaping the marshmallow to its respective configuration.
This component uses different types of molds of different patterns made from different materials such as plastic.
The forming system shapes the marshmallow mixture into desired shapes, such as cubes, cylinders, or customized designs. It utilizes various equipment, such as molds or extruders, to achieve consistent and uniform marshmallow shapes. The process starts by depositing a thick anti-sticking layer of starch or dextrose on the conveyor belt. The marshmallow is extruded on top of a thick layer of starch. At the end of the line, a top layer of starch is applied to fully cover the ropes of marshmallows, after which the products are cut using a guillotine. The frequency of cutting determines the length of the final product. After cutting, the product falls into a vibratory sieve where the product and starch are separated. The starch is automatically returned to the starch-depositing sprinklers.
Starch depositor
It consists of a hopper, a rotating drum, and a powder sprinkling device, used for evenly sprinkling starch powder onto the conveyor belt to prevent marshmallow rope from sticking together.
Marshmallow paste rope extruding unit
The precision-processed extrusion head ensures the consistency of the diameter of the rope, guaranteeing product quality. Additionally, changing to different extrusion heads can produce various shapes of cotton candy, providing the company with more production options and possibilities.
Starch filtering system starch recycling system
Cut-up marshmallows and starch are transported here together, where there is a vibrating screen that separates the marshmallows and starch.
De-starch drum
Perform a secondary separation of the marshmallow to ensure that too much starch does not stick to the surface of the marshmallow.
Marshmallow drying machine
Drying unit is a marshmallow-making equipment part designed to eliminate excess moisture to a preferred level.
After forming, the marshmallows need to go through a drying process to remove excess moisture and achieve the desired texture. An automatic drying line typically involves conveyor belts or specialized drying chambers that facilitate efficient drying while maintaining product quality.
