Step 2: Sanding

Use of Low-Pressure Dry Steam: Apply low-pressure dry steam (condensed) sparingly to the sweets. The goal is to moisten the sweets just enough to allow the sugar blend to adhere to their surface without dissolving or damaging the product. Keep the sanded gums max 2-3 min in the blender. Once this is done, products can leave the blender.

Step 3: Drying post-sanding

The products should be transferred to open trays for drying. Avoid overfilling the trays (so no thick layer) to give the products the possibility to become dry. Min. 24 hours.
