GEA Aquarius FlexFormer

Working principle

The Flexformer machine has a sugar rope detection system which ensures that when no sugar is entering the format set, no stick will be fed towards the die set. The solid or center filled ball lollipops or fancy or 3D lollipops are formed in the format set. The format set and forming machine are designed to enable a very flexible, quick changeover between sizes or shapes. With an easy exchange set you will be able to change from size or shape within 1 hour. To reduce the cleaning efforts and time a CIP (clean in place unit) is available as option. This system equipped with a number of nozzles will clean the forming set in approximately 20 minutes. Required are hot water with a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius.

Performance

Very flexible, quick changeover between sizes or shapes of lollipops are possible as well as easy adjustment for different stick lengths. The GEA FlexFormer has less down time thanks to the auto lubrication system and an extensive machine damage protection package is included. With the clean in place unit the down time of the machine due to cleaning will be kept to a minimum of approximately 20 up to 30 minutes when cleaning the die set. Given the high operating speeds, we have gone to great lengths to ensure that the mechanical parts are all well protected. The closed machine housing minimizes maintenance needs and downtime.
