GEA Aquarius FormWrap
Flat, fancy and spherical 3D lollipops
Working principle
After forming the flat, fancy and spherical 3D lollipops in the format set which has 12 positions on the FlatFormWrap SC and 15 positions on the FlatFormWrap HC the lollipops are taken out the format set via a transfer wheel towards the wrapping area. The pressing system has also been revised. We are introducing an improvement toward the forming inside the format set which results in less friction on the pressing bridge of the format set, which decreases the temperature of the format set to avoid sticking of the sugar.
With the new feature steady positioning of the lollipops, from transfer unit via grippers towards the wrapping area, the lollipops will be smoothly taken through the sealing roles. The latest feature we developed is the pre heating system which will ensure a lower sealing temperature of the film and avoid the sticking of the film.
- Compact machine with efficient high output
- Sandwich wrap style wrapping
- 15 positions hardened die set
- Pre heating of the film (patent pending)
- Enhancement curves on the pressing bridge (patent pending)
Performance
