How Lollipops Are Made in Factories? (Mega Factories Video)

A lollipop is a type of sugar candy usually consisting of hard candy mounted on a stick and intended for sucking or licking. Different informal terms are used in different places, including lolly, sucker, sticky-pop, etc. Lollipops are available in many flavors and shapes.
Although the main functional ingredients of a lollipop are quite simple, the actual process of making this product is where things start to get complicated. It has already been stated that a glassy amorphous structure is a non-crystalline solid. However, the formation and physical state of this glass has a lot of chemistry and physics behind it. The first step in making lollipops after mixing the main ingredients is the heating process. During heating, the molecules increase in their translational mobility and therefore become liquid-like.[11] Although it can be found that many hard candies are heated to about 310˚F, the temperature that the solution is heated to is dependent on the specific volume and contents of the mixture. After heating is complete, the solution can then be cooled. The final cooled solution is a supersaturated due to the fact that the moisture content drops to below 2%. Supersaturated or supercooled liquids are also formed due to the fact that crystallization is being inhibited. They are unstable because crystallization is a favored reaction in this case. During the cooling process, the most important physicochemical characteristic of lollipops is occurring. This process is called glass transition.

watching this while eating lollipops just makes me want to buy a giant lollipop factory like this one

[@IraQNid]

Quality control is wonky at this factory. None of the guys have to wear hair nets or beard/mustache nets, their hairy arms pose another opportunity for contamination, the dude watching the pressure gauge is wearing the same apron he was using when he moved the kettle from its burner over to the prep table. I wonder if he changes that apron at all during the day. Same for the gloves they wear. Obviously the gloves aren't providing much protection against the heat as the pressure gauge guy kept yanking his gloved hand out of the ooze as it was being worked on the metal table. The machinery looks fairly used and dirty. The boxing portion is inefficient as is most of the rest of that factory. There are several tasks that can be automated to prevent injury to workers and product contamination by those workers.

The jigsaw puzzles which we all solved right from our childhood days are manufactured with some great engineering behind them. Watch this exciting and informative video to learn more!

If i worked in this factory i would unfortunately end up feeding myself to the machine .

[@someonesomewhere1240]

That looks like a pretty old, low volume, and non-automated factory, to be honest... full of painted steel (not stainless), manual handling and equipment with minimal guards, and no automated QC, logging, or control.

These kind of videos are very calming to watch

That's not a factory, that's a 17th century manufacture.

Processes involving spring in action are very satisfying 👌🏼👌🏼

[@IBIUGlobal]

My daughter who’s 5, likes that they are put on sticks so you don’t have to touch them with your clean hands

[@claudiacarrillo2837]

Thank you for sharing your process.

secret ingredients?

[@kimtaengelsinha8543]

I'm watching it while eating a lollipop 🍭

Remember kids: Stay just say NO to hard drugs.

[@strxbrrymcha5555]

It looks so satisfying!!

[@jeffbrown5248]

We liked it when you took it out of the copper bucket. “Soooo gooey” says the 8yo

[@JOHNMORIN100]

Very interesting BUT A FILTHY MESS

[@fishsticks6969]

Wearing gloves but, all that hair must be in the candy 😅

[@donaldcalloway5423]

Lollipops is always the best and makes me my heart is sweet.

[@senai21drago71]

this is amazing thank u
