Cone Making Machine
A cone making machine, also known as an ice cream cone machine or wafer cone machine, is a piece of equipment used in the food industry to produce various types of cones. These machines are typically used in ice cream parlors, bakeries, and other food manufacturing facilities. The machine automates the process of making cones by mixing and dispensing the batter onto hot plates or molds, which then bake or cook the batter into the desired shape. The machine can vary in complexity from manual to fully automated, depending on the production needs of the manufacturer.
-
Batter dispenser: This component is responsible for dispensing the batter onto the cooking surface or mold.
-
Cooking surface or molds: These are where the batter is cooked or baked into the desired cone shape. They can be heated plates or molds, depending on the type of cones being produced.
-
Heating elements: These provide the necessary heat to cook or bake the batter into cones.
-
Cooling station: After the cones are formed and cooked, they may need to be cooled before packaging. Some machines may include a cooling station for this purpose.
-
Conveyor system: In fully automated machines, a conveyor system may be used to transport the cones through the various stages of production.
-
Control panel: This allows operators to set and monitor parameters such as temperature, batter flow rate, and cooking time.
