    • This lesson introduces the basic machines used in a mastic workshop.

  • Automated machine for chicle production

    • This machine was created between 1958 and 1962. The "pies" are transferred to the machine for the formation of sheets and engraving. The cylinders of the old machine, in adjustable distances and sizes, gradually form thin sheets of the chewing gum pastry and cut it into rectangles like lozenges, also called gum dragées.

  • Distillation machine

  • Drum mixer

    • The gum dragées, after becoming cool, are loaded in the revolving cylinder along with stearin and talc and are polished for about 15 minutes.

  • Twin electrically-driven blending machine

    • Used for the production of the chewing gum mixture. The ingredients of the chewing gum mixture are placed in the twin electrically-driven blending machine. The mixture is blended with water for 15 minutes in a heated vat.

  • Twin electrically-driven candy machines

    • The machines were created during the 1950s. Used to coat the mastic gum dragées. Each of the old machines has a capacity of 40 to 60 kilograms and rotation at about 24 times per minute. The gum dragées were placed in the cauldron while the responsible employee was adding syrup. During the rotation of the cauldron, the dragées were getting coated with the help of a gas flame that heated the cauldron. Fresh air was also channelled through a nozzle in order to control the moisture during crystallization of the syrup on the dragées. This process lasted around 24 hours, depending on humidity in the environment.
