22 December 2011 – On display will be the Roto MallowPlant: a new marshmallow production machine that combines cooling, aeration and extrusion of the product at a low temperature.

Keeping the product in shape after extrusion always was a key problem as the required higher temperatures during the aeration process made the product rather fluid. Shape loss was inevitable, giving the brands a hard time to control and maintain the look of their product. Tanis has solved this by integrating a cooling device between the aerator and the manifold extruder.

Manufacturers benefit as they can now make and replicate their marshmallow product exactly conform its design. A round marshmallow will remain a 100% round instead of flowing out into an egg-shape. Enabling the brand to distinguish itself and increase consumers’ recognition of and dedication to their special product.

Another added value of extrusion on lower temperatures is that the final cooling line can be a lot shorter. Consequently the production line as a whole will now take up less valuable space in the facility.
