- Mixing and Cooking Unit
- Ingredients Mixing: This unit mixes sugar, glucose syrup, gelatin, water, and any other desired ingredients.
- Cooking System: Heats the mixture to dissolve the sugar and incorporate the gelatin.

- Multi-Color/Flavor Extrusion (if applicable): Allows simultaneous extrusion of different colors or flavors for multi-colored marshmallows.
- Cutting Mechanism: Cuts the extruded marshmallow rope into the desired size.
- Dusting/Cooling Conveyor
