Mould pan

The mould cup formed by frozen ice cream is welded to the circular rotating table and put on the salty water tank. The mould pan is made of stainless steel. In the standard mould pan, there are 16 mould cups in each row, and the quantity of mould cups is 16x126=2016. The maximum product thickness corresponding to 126 rows of mould cups is 24 mm. The mould pans in other specifications can also be provided (see “optional equipments”).

The mould pan of RM35 can produce the longest ice cream with the length of 144 mm (5.67”). The bar plugged in the ice cream or ice-lolly should be above the mould pan for at least 30 mm (1.18”).

Salty water tank

The circular salty water tank is composed of welded double-course stainless steel wall and the thermal insulating course is provided. Twoequipped with independent centrifugal pump. A temperature regulator is equipped to prevent the releasing equipment from working at too low temperature. The temperature of the hot salty water must be limited to below 25 degree at any time to protect the mould pan from too large thermal stress.

Main driving system

All the main functions are performed by the mechanism controlled by cam. The assistant functions and other functions needing limited power are controlled by the compressed air system. The speed of 35 the system can be 10 rows to 30 rows per minute.

Electric equipments

The electric equipments are installed in an independent stainless steel electric cabinet, including main breaker, breaker, protected motor starter, control relay to control heating, transformer to control voltage and timer.

Control panel

The operations are controlled by the control panel installed on the machine. All the functions are controlled by PLC. It is highly automatic. The control panel includes buttons, indicators, and digital displays to display evaporating temperature and temperature of cold salty water. The temperature of hot salty water  is controlled electronically and displayed on the control panel. A display which can display figure and number can provide the information for operation and diagnosis. There is also a sound alarm. If necessary, a large-scaleshould be provided.

Cleaning and sterilization equipment

To clean and sterilize the mould pan on the site, a cleaning equipment is installed on the supporting rail of the salty water tank. The equipment should be connected to water, steam and cleaning agent.

Cooling system

The primary cooling system does not include the evaporator used for heat exchanging of salty water. Ammonia is used as coolant. The secondary cooling system is a cold salty water bath system. The cold salty water is circulated with an axial pump. The distribution tank of cold salty water is made of stainless steel.

Defrosting system

The hot salty water is heated with electricity or steam. The used should choose one when ordering. The salty water is sprayed to the external face of the mould cup through spray nozzle system. The defrosting system is

computer communicating with the central control computer can be provided to substitute the standard PC (see “optional equipments”).

Filling equipment

The standard ice cream filling equipment is designed to be quantitive filling equipment in the type of drum, which is used to fill the materials from top. It includes a column pipe and a filling head. The filling equipment installed above can be exchanged.

Manual bar plugging machine

It automatically plugs bar into ice cream. The loading of bars are finished manually. It includes the storage box for storing bars.

Releasing instrument

The instrument includes a straight chain conveyor. 56 releasing arms with bar clamps are on the instrument. The clamps are made of hard metal / stainless steel. The release of product is finished through the downward moving of the releasing arm, and the product is transported to the packaging machine. The direct releasing instrument can be chosen (see “optional equipments”).

Chocolate coating instrument

The instrument is installed in the next step of the releasing instrument. It includes a chocolate soaking tank and a receiving pan with a scratching bar. The height of the chocolate soaking tank can be adjusted according to the requirement for height of chocolate coating. External chocolate tank and circular pump
