High-speed wafer block building device
Streamline your wafer production with this high-speed device, expertly folding and pressing layers to create uniform, cream-filled treats that delight consumers.
Folds and Presses Wafer Blocks Rapidly
The Franz Haas HL-ZLV from Bühler Group is a high-speed solution tailored for confectionery manufacturers, wafer producers, and food processing companies. This state-of-the-art device folds and presses hollow wafer sheets into precisely structured blocks. Positioned after the spreading machine in the line, it utilizes an upper and lower belt system with a robotic arm vacuum plate to align and assemble up to 40 sheets per minute. Its robust stainless steel construction ensures optimal hygiene, while transparent polycarbonate doors provide complete visibility of the process. Operational efficiency is further enhanced with its gentle pressing mechanism, securing wafer alignment without causing damage. Designed for continuous production, this equipment is an integral part of wafer and snack bar manufacturing lines. Enhanced for productivity, it offers easy cleaning access and maintenance efficiency, ensuring minimal downtime. The HL-ZLV is configurable for specific needs, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems.
