Wafer sheet conditioning tunnel for chocolate coating
Optimize your chocolate-coated wafer production by ensuring precise moisture control before coating, preventing cracks and expansion while maintaining product quality.

Controls Moisture and Conditions Wafer Sheets
The Wafer Sheet Conditioning Tunnel CK from Hebenstreit GmbH is designed for the precise control of moisture in wafers and chocolate-coated products, addressing the critical need to prevent expansion and cracking during production. This conditioning tunnel uses an optimized air conduction system, ensuring uniform moisture distribution and maintaining the quality of finished products. Suitable for applications ranging from wafers to pet treats, it processes up to 1,646 wafer sheets per minute, with conditioning times between 20 to 30 minutes depending on the product. The fully automatic system includes a stainless steel design for durability and ease of maintenance, with optional online moisture content measurement for enhanced precision. Integration into existing production lines is seamless with its modular design, allowing capacity expansion to match increasing plant demands.
