Product spreader for cooling conveyor

Optimize the cooling process of cream-filled products by gently spreading sandwiches across the full width of the conveyor, ensuring consistent stabilization and reduced crystallization time without the need for complex mechanical interventions.

Spreads and Cools Cream-Filled Products

The Pendulum system from Royal Houdijk efficiently spreads and cools cream-filled products such as pastries and confectionery items by maximizing conveyor width utilization. This equipment features guideless conveyors that gently disperse products, reducing mechanical handling for improved cleanliness and maintenance. Ideal for industries like food and bakery, it supports continuous high-speed operations, ensuring even stabilization and crystallization. With its adaptable design, the Pendulum system can seamlessly integrate into existing production lines, making it a versatile choice for manufacturers of ice cream sandwiches, éclairs, and nougat bars. The system offers substantial energy savings by eliminating unnecessary mechanical devices and employing a streamlined cooling process. Designed for smooth operation, it supports customization to suit specific line requirements, ensuring optimal performance and product quality.
