The Loynds Mini Candy Rope Sizer RS02 is a 2-stage tabletop rope sizing machine designed for low to medium volume confectionery production. Built in the UK from food-grade 304 stainless steel, it takes the conical candy rope produced by a batch roller and reduces it to a precise, consistent diameter — an essential step before feeding into a forming machine such as the Humbug Machine, Rotary Die Forming Machine, or Drop Roller.
Key Benefits
- 2-stage sizing for accurate, consistent rope diameter every batch
- Electronic variable speed control for seamless synchronisation with upstream and downstream equipment
- Two pairs of interchangeable sizing rollers supplied as standard, built to your product specifications
- Each roller set independently adjustable via a dial for precise calibration
- Compact tabletop footprint — minimal production space required
- Full 304 stainless steel construction with glass bead finish for hygiene and durability
- UK-designed and assembled to strict quality standards
- Optional floor stand available for production line integration
How It Works
The RS02 receives the conical candy rope from a batch roller at the in-feed. Two stages of interchangeable sizing rollers progressively reduce the rope diameter to the required size, with each stage finely adjustable via a dial. The motor gearbox unit with electronic variable speed control drives the rollers at a speed that can be precisely matched to the batch roller feeding it and the forming machine receiving it — ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted flow of correctly sized rope through the production line.

Options & Variations
The RS02 is supplied with two pairs of sizing rollers as standard, manufactured to your preferred rope diameter. Additional roller sets can be ordered to accommodate a range of different rope sizes without the need for a second machine. A separate floor stand is available for production lines where tabletop mounting is not suitable. Custom configurations available on request.
Production Line Integration
The RS02 is designed to work seamlessly as part of the Loynds artisan candy production line. It sits between the Mini Batch Roller (BR02) and the forming machine — whether that is the Humbug/Berlingot Machine (HB01/HB02), the Mini Rotary Die Forming Machine (MF01), or the Drop Roller (DR01/DR02). Full speed control ensures the rope sizer can be perfectly synchronised with both upstream and downstream equipment for a consistent, uninterrupted flow.
Applications / Use Cases
- Artisan candy and confectionery production lines
- Low to medium volume candy manufacturing
- Recipe development and test kitchens
- Laboratory and demonstration environments
- Any process requiring a continuous, accurately sized candy rope

FAQs
What does a rope sizer do?
It takes the conical candy rope produced by a batch roller and reduces it to a precise, consistent diameter ready for feeding into a forming machine such as a humbug machine, rotary die former, or drop roller.
How many sizing stages does the RS02 have?
The RS02 is a 2-stage machine, progressively reducing the rope diameter through two sets of rollers for accurate, consistent sizing.
Can I size different rope diameters with the same machine?
Yes. The RS02 comes with two pairs of interchangeable rollers as standard. Additional roller sets can be ordered for different rope diameters, giving you full flexibility without a second machine.
Can the speed be matched to my other machines?
Yes. The electronic variable speed control allows precise synchronisation with both the batch roller feeding it and the forming machine receiving the rope.
Is the RS02 tabletop only?
It is designed for tabletop use as standard, but an optional floor stand is available for integration into production line layouts where tabletop mounting isn't practical.
What products can the RS02 handle?
It is suitable for hard candy, soft candy, and caramel rope sizing applications.
Do you provide installation and training?
Yes, Loynds invites all customers to see their equipment running before dispatch. Installation, training, and ongoing technical support are available.
