The invention relates to a method for producing chewing gum granules. The method comprises at least the steps of feeding a gum composition including at least gum base into an extruder (2), pressurizing the gum composition in the extruder, extruding the gum composition through a die plate (5), and cutting the extruded gum composition in a liquid filled chamber (4) so that the cut gum granules have weights per granule in the range of 0.0001 g to 0.008 g.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing chewing gum products, which method comprises at least the steps of: feeding a gum composition including at least gum base into an extruder, pressurizing the gum composition in the extruder, extruding the gum composition through a die plate, cutting the extruded gum composition in a liquid filled chamber, said cutting producing gum granules of weights per granule in the range of 0.0001 g to 0.008 g, mixing the extruded gum granules with one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of flavours, bulk sweeteners, intense sweeteners, colouring agents, fillers, nutrients, pharmaceuticals, and tabletting aids, conveying the extruded and cut granules mixed with said one or more ingredients to a tablet pressing apparatus, and then compressing at least said gum granules into compressed chewing gum tablets. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said weight per granule is in the range of 0.0003 g to 0.008 g. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the weight per granule for at least a first fraction of the granules is in the range of 0.0003 g to 0.003 g. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the weight per granule for at least a first fraction of the granules is less than 0.002 g. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the weight per granule for at least a second fraction of the granules is in the range of 0.002 to 0.008 g. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the weight per granule for at least a second fraction of the granules is in the range of 0.002 g to 0.005 g. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the granules in a first fraction have a first average weight which is lower than the average weight of a second fraction of the extruded granules. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the gum composition during extruding is extruded though die openings in a die plate having openings of at least two different sizes to simultaneously obtain granules with different average weights. 9. The method of claim 1,wherein the cut granules are cooled in water during transfer from the liquid filled chamber to a de-watering device, and the transfer time from cutting to de-watering is less than 6 s. 10. The method of claim 9,comprising the further step of dusting the granules in between de-watering and conveyance to the tablet pressing apparatus. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the cut granules are cooled in water during transfer from the liquid filled chamber to a de-watering device, and the transfer time from cutting to de-watering is less than 4 s. 12. The method of claim 11, comprising the further step of coating the granules in between de-watering and conveyance to the tablet pressing apparatus. 13. The method of claim 1,comprising the further step of providing the granules with one or more ingredients before conveying the granules to the tablet pressing apparatus, said one or more ingredients being selected from the group consisting of magnesium stearate, cornstarch, sugar compounds, polyols, cellulose ethers, acrylic polymers and copolymers, sweeteners, flavours, waxes, and colours. 14. The method of claim 1, comprising the further step of dusting the granules before conveying the granules to the tablet pressing apparatus, wherein the dusting is made with the sweetener sorbitol. 15. The method of claim 1, comprising the further step of classifying the granules prior to conveyance to the tablet pressing apparatus. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the gum composition is gum base. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the gum composition includes one or more flavouring agents when extruded. 18. The method of claim 1,wherein the gum composition includes one or more sweeteners, such as intense sweeteners, when extruded.
