The extrusion and forming lines are suitable for the production of die-formed gum pieces with any shape (unfilled, filled with liquid or powders or paste) from round/oval to squared and odd shapes, including pillow, pellet-type, crimped and cube.
Lines include extrusion or co-extrusion technology, to give extra line flexibility, rope sizing and state-of-the-art rotary forming technology for the best cosmetic quality of your product using Executive patented solutions.
Configurations may include intermediate relaxation belt, specials cams and dies as well as different cooling systems depending on final production targets.
