Hollow wafer film-spreading machine for confectionery

Achieve precise and uniform cream distribution on hollow wafer sheets, enhancing efficiency and product quality in high-speed confectionery production.

Spreads Cream on Hollow Wafer Sheets

The Franz Haas WSTBF from Bühler Group is a precision-engineered hollow wafer film-spreading machine designed for efficient and uniform cream application. This equipment specializes in evenly distributing a cream film ranging from 3 to 7 mm thick onto up to 60 hollow wafer sheets per minute. By positioning wafer sheets edge to edge in a buffer zone, it uses a film-spreading head to ensure consistent cream coverage, followed by a device that pushes cream into wafer cavities for optimal folding preparation.

Ideal for applications in wafer production, confectionery, and snacks, it produces high-quality end products such as hollow wafer rolls, filled wafer fingers, and layered wafer cakes. The machinery operates continuously at high speeds, making it suitable for demanding food processing environments. Integrated with sturdy Makrolon windows, the machine allows real-time process monitoring to ensure production precision and quality control. Furthermore, it efficiently utilizes raw materials, contributing to sustainable operations by minimizing waste. Tailored to meet diverse production needs, this machine is an invaluable asset for food processing companies seeking a reliable solution in wafer sheet management.
