Project description

The “Bird’s Milk” and soufflé mass production line by L–TRANS SERVICE is a modern automated solution for the industrial production of soufflé confectionery products with consistent quality, high productivity, and precise control of all technological parameters.

The line provides a complete production cycle — from preparation and aeration of the soufflé mass to the forming of multilayer products, cooling, cutting, enrobing, and automatic transfer of finished products to the packaging section.

The equipment allows the production of a wide range of soufflé products: “Bird’s Milk” type candies, glazed soufflé centers, multilayer products with jelly layers, and other confectionery products based on aerated masses.

CONFECTIONERY MASS PREPARATION

The line is equipped with an automated confectionery mass preparation section, which is individually configured according to the product recipe, required capacity, and technological requirements.

The system may include cooking and storage tanks, mixers for ingredient blending, dosing systems, pumps, and pipelines for automatic transfer of masses to the production line.

Automatic ingredient dosing, temperature control, weight parameter monitoring, and control of technological processes ensure recipe consistency and repeatable quality of the finished products.

If required, the preparation section can be equipped with an automated ingredient storage and feeding system with precise weight control during dosing into the cooking tanks.

SOUFFLÉ MASS AERATION

The key production stage is the aeration process, which ensures air incorporation into the mass and creates the characteristic light, delicate, and stable soufflé structure.

For aeration, the lines are equipped with industrial HANSA MIXER (Germany) aerators, which provide precise control of process parameters and ensure stable structure of the finished product.

Thanks to properly selected technological parameters, the soufflé mass obtains the required density, uniformity, and stability for further forming.

FORMING OF SOUFFLÉ LAYERS

After aeration, the soufflé mass is automatically transferred onto the conveyor and evenly distributed over the working surface.

The forming system ensures precise control of layer thickness and uniformity, guaranteeing stable product parameters in every batch. This stage prepares the mass for further cooling, cutting, and enrobing.

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF JELLY LAYERS

For the production of multilayer products, the line can be equipped with a separate jelly mass preparation section.

The automated system provides cooking, dosing, and feeding of jelly onto the production line with precise control of product temperature, color, and consistency.

COOLING AND STABILIZATION

After forming one or several layers, the products undergo a controlled cooling process.

The cooling tunnel with climate control system ensures stabilization of the product structure, maintenance of required technological parameters, and consistent product quality from batch to batch.

PRECISION PRODUCT CUTTING

The two-level cutting system ensures accurate forming of products with specified dimensions.

Longitudinal and cross cutting allow obtaining products with stable geometric parameters. Cutting settings can be adjusted according to the requirements of a specific product. The knives are equipped with a lubrication system.

ENROBING

The enrobing section allows coating products with natural chocolate or confectionery glaze to achieve the required taste and visual characteristics.

The enrobing machine ensures uniform product coating using a two-curtain coating system and air blow-off. The enrobing machine is equipped with a removable tank.

When using natural chocolate, the line can be equipped with a tempering machine, decrystallizer, and storage tank to ensure stable coating quality.

For working with compound coating (confectionery glaze), the line can be equipped with a fat melting unit for melting blocks or drops and a storage tank.

After enrobing, the products undergo final cooling.

AUTOMATIC FEEDING TO PACKAGING

Finished products are automatically transferred to the packaging section.

The line design allows product flow distribution to several packaging machines depending on the required capacity and packaging format.

AUTOMATED CONTROL SYSTEM

The line is equipped with a modern control system that ensures monitoring and synchronization of all production sections.

System functions:

• operation in manual and automatic modes;
• conveyor speed adjustment;
• control of temperature, pressure, and weight parameters;
• automatic equipment synchronization;
• event logging and display of alarm conditions.

The system is operated through a convenient touchscreen operator panel, ensuring ease of use and stable technological processes.
