Lollipop forming and wrapping solution
In high-volume confectionery production, maintaining consistent shape and quality of lollipops while ensuring efficient changeovers between different shapes and sizes is crucial. The challenge is to achieve high-speed production without compromising product quality and appealing presentation.
Form and wrap lollipops with precision and speed
The GEA Aquarius FlexFormWrap is designed for high-efficiency production of ball, fancy, and 3D lollipops. Featuring a unique take-over transfer wheel, the system ensures smooth transition and steady positioning of the lollipops from the forming stage to the wrapping area. This servodriven wheel, along with the easy exchange set for different die sizes, allows for quick changeovers between various lollipop dimensions in approximately 2 hours. The FlexFormWrap also incorporates a preheating system to lower the sealing temperature, preventing film sticking. Equipped with an auto-lubrication system and a clean-in-place unit, downtime for cleaning and maintenance is minimized. The machine handles up to 700 lollipops per minute, depending on size, and can also accommodate center-filled options. GEA ensures high product quality and consistency with a CE marking and offers full support including a technology center for testing and training.
