Patent ID: 8916219

Claim:
An automatic method of batch-wise producing a slurry containing a sugar component for producing confectioneries, comprising the steps of: separately feeding a liquid into a weighing and mixing container in a batch-wise and weight-accurate way such that the weight of the liquid is determined by the weighing and mixing container; separately feeding a sugar component as a dry material into the weighing and mixing container in a batch-wise and weight-accurate way such that the weight of the dry material is determined by the weighing and mixing container to produce a mixture, the liquid and the dry material being fed into the weighing and mixing container and the mixture being mixed such that a specific amount of a slurry having a share of dry substance of at least 85% is produced; heating at least one element selected from the group consisting of the liquid, the dry material, the mixture and the slurry such that the slurry has a temperature of at least 70° C.; and discharging the specific amount of the slurry from the weighing and mixing container while no liquid and dry material are fed into the weighing and mixing container.
