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
The GEA Aquarius FlatFormWrap forms and wraps from 600 up to 1.000 lollipops per minute depending on the capacity FlatFormwrapper you choose. The die sets on the FormWrap machine can be changed within 20 - 25 minutes. The machine has an automatic reject system. With start up or stops this system automatically rejects the faulty lollipops. Also the automatic rejects system start when the wrapping is out of registration.
- Smoother sugar in feed towards the die set
- Fast die change, within 30 minutes
- Improved durability die set
- Autolubrication set on die set
- Automatic reject system
Output quality
The lollipops are wrapped into a sandwich wrap style immediately after forming. To avoid deforming or losing any design detail the lollipops will be cooled in our PopCooler F cooler directly after being formed and wrapped. The sandwich wrap style wrapping will give you the opportunity to present your flat, fancy and/or 3D lollipops in a transparent wrapping to give the expressional features and details of your lollipop a further appealing look. Gea Aquarius brings you the possibility to create icing images directly on the sugar surface. Add themes like popular cartoon characters, animal shapes, flowers and even company logos or brands. The possibilities are endless to give your lollipops extra appeal on the shop counter or supermarket shelf.

Multi-forming possibilities such as flat, fancy and 3D lollipop shapes
Flexibility
Multi-forming possibilities such as flat, fancy and 3D lollipop shapes. Forming can be done up to 600 lollipops/minute; depending on wrapping width on the FlatFormWrap SC (standard capacity) and up to 1000 lollipops /minute; depending on wrapping width on the FlatFormWrap HC (high capacity) machine. The time is right to stand out by icing of your flat lollipops! An icing unit with additional cooling has been developed for the FlatFormWrap SC machine to enable to give extra appeal to your lollipops through icing of the lollipop.

Approfondimenti GEA
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Oltre le macchine: come migliorare le prestazioni dell’impianto
Una macchina efficiente non garantisce automaticamente l'efficienza di uno stabilimento. Il vero miglioramento spesso inizia guardando oltre le singole attrezzature e comprendendo come i processi, i sistemi energetici e le decisioni operative si influenzino a vicenda. Si tratta di un approccio olistico pensato per individuare opportunità che altrimenti potrebbero sfuggire.
Come una valvola rivoluziona la produzione di alimenti e bevande
Negli impianti di produzione di alimenti e bevande, le valvole vengono solitamente azionate tramite aria compressa. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology utilizza l'acqua all'interno di un circuito chiuso e controllato digitalmente. Il risultato è una valvola che può essere mantenuta esattamente in posizione e regolata con per piccoli incrementi con grande precisione. Ciò si traduce in un minor consumo energetico e in un maggiore controllo.
