Características
Dipping divisions
Enable production of variety multipacks
The coating tank can be split into up to four sections, each one equipped with a pump and an agitator. This makes it possible to coat four different products, with or without inclusions, and thereby create variety packs. A typical series of coatings might be dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, and milk chocolate with split almond inclusions.
Dipping control system
Product accuracy and repeatability
Once set by the operator, the dipping speed, time and level are all automatically controlled by the recipe handling system. This ensures the correct amount of expensive ingredients such as chocolate are applied - no more no less – and that the process is perfectly repeatable.
Level control sensor
Ensures a steady chocolate supply
A sensor in the chocolate tank monitors the base level of coating matter and alerts the operator when it is time to re-feed the tank. This helps ensure both a steady supply and steady temperature, which keeps production on target.
Lay down system
Enhances food safety and wrapping accuracy
This servo driven system is designed to gently place the product in exactly the right position on the paper lane. In addition, it lays down the product in one position at a time, enabling the ‘no-product, no-wrap feature’ of our wrapping machines. The absence of contact with human hands also eliminates contamination risks.
Light curtain
Enhances operator safety and hygiene
Positioned between the two ends of the dipping sections, the light curtain acts as an invisible door. When the light panel is broke, the machine stops automatically. This enhances safety and hygiene without limiting visibility or requiring cleaning. Restart takes under 1 minute.
Dipping system
Flexibility of product coating
length and modular design of the dipping area means you can have 25 dipping stations in this unit. This makes it possible to produce ice cream products with lot of different coatings - chocolate, caramel, juice or other – individually or in combination.
Chocolate tank
Reduces giveaway
This is a complete self-contained unit for heating coating matter such as chocolate. Equipped with a water jacket, it keeps the coating matter at a steady temperature. Four pumps and agitators circulate the liquid and keep the dipping cup topped up, so exactly the right amount of chocolate is applied to each ice cream, with minimal giveaway.
Overlapping grippers
Ensure very low product waste
Each gripper head is equipped with up to 12 grippers. The grippers’ profiles overlap, which means they can pick up a product even if it is not positioned in precisely the correct spot. They also pick up everything from the trays - no product escapes! Used in both pick up and lay down, this feature is unique to Tetra Pak®’s dip and transfer unit.
Opções
Long Dip module
Ensures high product quality
When coating ice creams with juice, the challenge is to get a thick, even coating across the whole product. This is achieved with our optional add-on Long Dip module, which moves the product horizontally through several indexes in the dipping tank – ensuring it is submerged for the required amount of time.
Coating control
Ensures the correct ratio between dry and liquid coating matter
A mass flow meter at the chocolate inlet measures the chocolate flow into an external mixing tank. Meanwhile, the dry stuff dosing unit measures the dry stuff feed (e.g. split almonds). Working in unison, they ensure the correct ratio of dry and liquid coating products in the mix. This gives an even distribution of coatings and saves money on expensive ingredients.
Extra tank
Maximizes equipment availability
When switching from one type of coating matter to another, it only takes one minute to exchange dipping tanks. Having an extra tank available saves waiting time for cleaning. It is especially valuable when producing ice cream coated with nuts, since no traces of a nut coated product may appear in a product without nuts.
Exchange parts
Enables product versatility
An optional set of pick-up grippers, lamellas and lay down grippers makes it possible to go from e.g. production of ice cream sticks to sandwich, ball top cone or wafer cups, or from production of one size of product to another. Each set is optimized for a specific product. Pick-up heads for transferring to the conveyor for chocolate enrobing of sandwiches, ice cream slices, candy bars and bite size products are also available as options.
Dry coating function
Makes additional products possible
This optional unit it used to produce ice cream sticks and ball top cones which have the dry coating on the outside of the chocolate, rather than mixed into it.
