Enabling crunchy top decoration

A large range of dry ingredients can be dosed on top of the ice cream filling and topping sauce. The volume is “time-elapse” adjustable from the recipe or volumetric by change parts.

Lid dispenser

Lid dispenser

Securely sealed product

The Lid dispenser dispenses and places the lid precisely on the cone, cup, tub or bulk container through a servo-controlled motion and cam following a 180° turn out of a magazine. For unstackable lids that are supplied by a lid unscrambler, a lid chute can be placed on the filler. An integrated lid control system secures maximal product safety and feedback to the filler control to initialize further action such as discharging the product.

Crimping station

Crimping station

Perfect closing for cone products

The crimping station offers cone products high-level closing with cardboard or plastic lids of all shapes. Depending on packaging material and filler setup, the closing is done by a servo-controlled one- or two-step crimping station.

Product discharge

Product discharge

Smooth downstream transfer

The product can be transferred either by a pick-and-place or a discharge conveyor. A 3-axis linear transfer unit can transfer cones and cups directly to a tray hardening tunnel. Tub and bulk products are discharged onto a conveyor. Thanks to the filler’s control system, individual products with defects can be discharged to a separate waste conveyor or bin. This ensures only good products are transferred to the downstream equipment.

Options

Quality control

Quality control

Meeting product quality demands

A sensor or camera control system can identify many product details or defects directly on the filler for an instant signal or correction. In addition to the optical solutions, an inline weight checker can secure 100% control of the filled products.
