Step By Step Guide to Humbug / Berlingot Candy Manufacturing

  1. Candy Preparation: Utilise the stove, pan, and thermometer to cook your candy mixture. Access our detailed candy cooking guides here and here.
  2. Colour and Flavour: After cooking, pour the batch onto the cold table, turn it in on itself to begin the cooling process and then incorporate your chosen colours and flavours.
  3. Initial Shaping: Once sufficiently cooled transfer the batch to the hot table. Utilise your candy shears to cut the batch into its individual parts and then assemble your design into a cone shape. You can watch this video to see how the classic humbug design is created.
  4. Batch Rolling: Insert the cone-shaped batch into the Batch Roller, which will consistently shape it into a uniform cone.
  5. Rope Sizing: Insert the narrow end of the cone into the Rope Sizer to create a consistent rope.
  6. Humbug Formation: Feed the sized rope into your Humbug / Berlingot Machine.
  7. Cooling and Hardening: Collect the shaped humbugs on a large table. You can use a desktop fan to expedite the cooling process.
  8. Breaking Up the Batch: Once the sweets start to firm, use a scooping motion to break the chain of candies into individual humbugs.
  9. Finishing Touches: You can use a sieve to tumble the candies and remove any sharp edges, enhancing the product’s finish.
  10. Packaging: Your humbug or Berlingot candies are now ready for packaging.

How the Mini Humbug / Berlingot Machine Works

The humbug machine features 4 bevelled cutting gears that give the candy its distinctive tetrahedron shape (pressed and cut in alternate directions on each end).

Maintenance and Cleaning

Maintaining the Humbug / Berlingot Candy Manufacturing System is a straightforward process due to the user friendly design of all the machines. Engineered for ease of use and minimal upkeep, no specialised skills are required to maintain the machinery effectively.
