Benefits
Tetra Pak® Rotary Moulder 27 M3 for ice cream moulding
Tetra Pak® Rotary Moulder 27 M3 is a medium capacity high performance moulding unit for ice stick production.
Quick facts
Moulding unit for filling ice cream mixture into a mould, freezing and inserting sticks (and can apply a coating)
Capacity
Up to 15,000 products/hr
Applications
Moulded ice cream, sherbet or fruit juice ices on a stick.
Medium capacity high performance moulding
- 15,000 products/hr is possible thanks to the mechanically driven linear extractor
- Handling to a multilane wrapper enhances hygiene
- The single-piece mould table can be changed quickly and easily, enabling product flexibility
Features
Superior mould table
For maximum durability and product safety
Our ice cream moulds are designed, manufactured and quality assured in order to withstand the harsh production environment and stress caused by frequent temperature fluctuations, all without jeopardising product quality and safety.
Extractor tong
Enhances the reliability of your production
This small but vital component takes hold of the ice cream stick and pulls the product up out of the mould. It can adapt automatically to find the stick, and pulled it up with sufficient force to guarantee the product is removed and never dropped. Typically a wear part, this tong has a documented lifetime of approximately 10 years, and is used in both rotary and linear moulding lines.
Mechanical drive 23/27 M2
Enables rapid production - 28 strokes/minute
Designed to perform a precise sequence of movements, the mechanical drive on the extractor gives you reliable cam driven extraction, indexing, dipping and lay down.
Adaptable filling 27 M3
Enables production of a variety of different products
The moulder can be fitted with a volumetric top filler, combination top filler, time elapse top filler, a time elapse pencil filler and back suction equipment. By changing the filling method (or sequence of filling methods) it is possible - and relatively simple - to produce a wide variety of products. Pre-set recipes in the automation system recognise and adapt to the filling method that is in place at any given time.
Nozzle plate 23/27 M2
Ensures consistent product quality, and low costs
Brine is pumped at -40°C through the nozzles of the nozzle plate, ensuring contact with the entire surface of the mould. This carefully designed process gives the best possible heat transfer effect, making production economical and ensuring reliable product quality.
Linear extractor 27 M3
Increases production speed and enhances hygiene
By lengthening the drying time after dipping, this extractor makes dry coating possible. It comes with a multilane wrapper as standard, and consequently offers enhanced hygiene due to laying down the product by only touching the stick.
Options
Electric brine heater
In the absence of a steam supply
When there is no steam system at the production plant, an electric heater can be placed in the reservoir underneath the tank. This serves to heat the brine, which enables easy extraction from the mould.
Storage carriage 27 M3
For storing and transporting the mould table
The carriage is useful for transporting and storing your mould table safely when using a different table. It holds the moulds at an angle so the water drains off after cleaning.
Dry coater
Prevents stoppages and product waste
Dry coating is a critical process. If not handled correctly it can lead to errors, waste of expensive ingredients and down time. This optional new generation dry coater can be emptied on the fly, enabling production to continue uninterrupted, even if the chocolate is not at exactly the right temperature - such as, during the start-up phase.
Tetra Pak® Automatic Stick Multi
Reliable performance and high yield
A servo driven conveyor belt prepares the sticks so they can be inserted in precisely the correct position in the product, thus enabling reliable performance and high yield. The unit runs at up to 30 strokes per minute and can also be equipped with a backup magazine so production continues uninterrupted, even if a stick is off spec.
Tong surveillance sensor 27 M3
Monitors production and enables rapid corrective action
The sensor checks that a product is always pulled up out of the mould when it should be. If it does not detect a product, the operator is alerted and can make adjustments.
Ice Cream Video Care
Get full visibility of your ice cream line
Ice Cream Video Care lets you visually monitor inaccessible and “hidden” areas of ice cream production lines. Featuring up to 16 cameras, the solution enables improved quality control and troubleshooting – by making it easier to locate the root cause of quality issues, it becomes possible to reduce downtime and product waste. Ice Cream Video Care provides access to live video as well as recordings.
