Abstract

The invention relates to a system for producing and/or preparing confectionery compounds from at least one liquid raw material and granular and/or powder raw materials. The system includes at least one first mixing container and at least one other product-processing device. The first mixing container has at least one raw material inlet, a product outlet, and a mixing device for mixing the raw materials in an at least largely homogenous manner. According to the invention, at least the mixing container includes at least one spray device in an upper container region for introducing the at least one liquid raw material, wherein at least one exit cone of the spray device is oriented in the direction of an inner wall surface of the first mixing container at least in some regions. The invention further relates to a method for cleaning a system for producing and/or preparing confectionery compounds.
