Annexure 2.0

Cooking : There are two methods for cooking the toffee mass, one is open fire cooking in the open pan on any coal or diesel furnace and manual stirring. The quality of product made on this plant is normal. The other method is indirect cooking with steam and automatic stirring with a motorized stirrer. The quality of product made with this method is much superior as compared to the other. Therefore the plant suggested in this report is one which adopts second method.

Steam is generated in the boiler with help of fuel and this boiler is kept away from the cooking or process area. The steam so generated is supplied for the Toffee cooker for cooking. First of all, some ingredients such as milk powder and vegetable fats are mixed in the homogenizer and kept separately. Desired quantity of water is put into the Toffee cooker and the steam is released. When the sugar is dissolved other materials such as liquid glucose and milk paste are added in the cooker. After desired temperature is achieved on the temperature indicator, steam is stopped and material is discharged in the vacuum pan for vacuuming and then on the water circulation cooling table for cooling.

Forming and Wrapping : When the material is cooled down the temperature of approx. 50 degree centigrade. It is folded and put into the batch former. It makes a thick rope of toffee mass which is fed directly into the Cut & Wrap Machine. In this machine the rope first gets rough impression of lining while passing through the first set of sizing rollers and then it gets exact shape in the next set of size rollers. Then the rope is cut by set of toffee cutting knifes and paper is cut by the rotating paper blades and paper is wrapped over the toffee. Which is then and transferred into the rotating chamber which takes it to the twisting fingers where these are twisted from ends and is ejected on to the delivery chute automatically.

Storage and Curing : There are so many types of products that can be made on the Cut & Wrap machine and there is even possibility to Cut & Wrap the Bubble Gum mass (only Cut & Wrap portion can be used for Bubble Gum). However the procedure after cutting and wrapping varies from product to product. For example, chew toffee is immediately ready for the consumer but the brittle and fudge type of products are cured in the heat room for about 24 hours before final packing dispatched

WATER

1. About 10 Liters Water required per Minute for Cooling Plate

( This Water can be recirculated after cooling)

2. About 300 Liters Water per hour for the Boiler even this can be collected in the foam of steam condensates and circulated again

Fuel Consumption
Oil fired steam boiler consumes approx. 8-10 liters of LDO (Light Diesel Oil) per hour

FUEL

An Oil fired Boiler Consume Apex 8 - 10 Liters of LDO ( Light Diesel Oil) per Hour

(This Boiler can operate up to three Toffee Cookers. There is less consumption of fuel for each batch if more then one Cooker is installed
