How jelly beans are made

Jelly Beans
Have you ever wondered how the sugary ,tasty jelly beans are made?, well if you read this you will know lots about them.

First, the sugar is poured into the kettle so it can be heated up to 175 degrees celsius. Then glucose and starch is added.
In another area of the factory,starch is poured onto a tray. A leveller evens out on the starch into the tray so it can make the shape of the jelly bean. Each tray makes about 175 jelly bean moulds. The sugar and starch mix is put into the moulds.

The trays can make about one million jelly beans per hour! The conveyer belt takes the trays into the drying room. The tray of moulds stay in there for a whole day, that’s so long. The next day, the sugar and starch mix becomes hard and chewy.

Next, very big robot arms flip the trays one by one into a big drum so it can separate them. When the trays flip back, they fill up with starch to make moulds and the action begins again. Meanwhile, the dried jelly bean centers  are transferred to the steam belt- which makes them a little damp.

They are put into drums that rotate as sugar is poured onto them. In another area of the factory- a worker puts food colouring into liquid sugar. This mixture is called engrossing syrup.

The worker adds this in the drum, and some flavoring into the jelly beans. After they change colour- the worker puts even more sugar into the drum. This is repeated 4 times! There are 124,000 jelly beans in each drum which is a lot.

Then they  add hot syrup. This makes the jelly beans shiny. Next they add a little wax. The beans rub against each other. This makes them even more shiny.

Finally the drum stops spinning. It lets the jelly beans dry for a whole day again. Now they are ready to eat yum yum.

I hope you enjoyed it, now you know how jelly beans are made, if a friend doesn’t know tell them how it’s made.        
I hope you can give me some feedback or feedforward so I can make more post just like this one or make post that is better than this.
Thank you
