Extruder and depositor for confectionery production

Ideal for producing sophisticated confectionery and bakery items, this solution minimizes product waste while handling masses with various viscosities and inclusions. Its flexibility in adjusting head movements and extrusion options ensures seamless integration into diverse production lines, fostering creativity and efficiency.

Processes and Deposits Diverse Masses with Precision

The Alice™ from AASTED is a versatile extruder and depositor designed for the bakery, confectionery, and chocolate industries. Crafted to handle masses ranging from high to low viscosity, it precisely processes and deposits various formulations, including those with inclusions or different temperatures. The unique FlexBooster™ and CamRotor™ technologies ensure gentle mass handling, reducing shearing and product waste. Applications span from chocolate bars to cream-filled doughnuts, with options for single, double, or triple head configurations, allowing multi-mass product creation. Capable of continuous operation and adjustable for manual or automated processes, it integrates into existing lines with ease. The Alice™ supports efficient energy use with reduced booster speeds and enables thorough cleaning with offline hosing and easy disassembly, ensuring minimal downtime. Customizable configurations are available to meet specific production needs, backed by AASTED’s engineering expertise.
