Applications
Ice cream cones
Grow your ice cream portfolio and gain higher product quality to a lower cost
- Switch from rotary to inline filling – and gain the process time you need to produce advanced designs with multiple decorations
- Go from horizontal to vertical hardening – and raise your product quality
- Graduate from manual cone lifting to automated offloading – and streamline your plant
Features
Tetra Pak® Ice Cream Filler A3
Switch from rotary to inline filling
Tetra Pak Ice Cream Filler A3 is a robust ice cream filling machine based on hygienic design and the highest level of consistent product quality, enabling:
- Optimization of individual products
- Outstanding process repeatability
- Fast, safe cleaning
- Easy, flexible mounting and replacement of stations
- Very wide range of filling and decoration options
- Optional servomotor control
Pick-and-place transfer system
Go from horizontal to vertical hardening
A dedicated pick-and-place system extracts cones from the filler and places them upright into hardening trays. This avoids the rough handling typical of manual systems, results in fewer damaged products and rejects and raises overall product consistency.
Extrusion Tunnel M1.3
Tray-tunnel system for ice cream production
Extrusion Tunnel M1.3 consists of a continuous product plate conveyor loop system and a hardening tunnel. The air inside the hardening tunnel is cooled by an evaporator and circulated by fans to maximize the hardening effect. The product trays are placed on a conveyor chain and guided around the hardening tunnel on two parallel frames.
Cone off-loader
Graduate from manual cone lifting to automated offloading
The cone off-loader removes frozen cones from the trays, saving manual handling and, hence reducing operating costs. Eliminating operator inputs in the hardening tunnel improves operator safety and reduces injury risk.
