Conveyor systems for soaking sponge cakes with syrup
Before the finished cake reaches the shelves, it undergoes several technological processes to get made. One way of improving the flavour is to soak the biscuits in syrup. This process takes place on a conveyor belt for the soaking of sponge cakes with syrup. Biscuits can be round or rectangular in different sizes.
LTS (L-TRANS SERVICE) manufactures machines for the soaking of cake bases, taking into account the possibility of using cakes of different shapes and sizes. The function of using different cakes is technologically realised with interchangeable nozzles, syrup nozzles and control modes. The machine is equipped with a 350 mm wide conveyor belt and can be designed for one or two rows of cake blanks. Conveyors for soaking cakes with syrup can be manufactured with different technical parameters according to the customer’s requirements and production needs.
The standard equipment of the machine for the soaking of sponge cakes with syrup includes the following items:
- conveyor;
- main filter;
- syrup flow control valve;
- syrup pump;
- syrup irrigation system;
- syrup collection and circulation tank;
- gear motor STM/MOTOVARIO (Italy) or similar;
- сontrol cabinet.
HOW IT WORKS
If the conveyor is not integrated into an existing line, the operator manually places the blanks/crusts on the conveyor belt. If the conveyor is part of a line, the process of loading and unloading cakes is automated.
Next, depending on the control panel mode selected:
- Start\stop mode, the cake moves on the conveyor belt to the cake sensor and comes to a stop under the syrup spray nozzle. In addition, the conveyor is equipped with stops that ensure the positioning of the workpiece under the nozzle, the dosing of the syrup for soaking and the direct spraying of the syrup onto the biscuit.
- Watering mode, the cake moves along the conveyor belt without stopping, and the soaking with the syrup is carried out by pouring water over it like a wave.
The control panel is equipped with a touchscreen to make operating easy and convenient for the operator. The screen shows the complete operation of the conveyor in the selected mode, allowing you to control the process at every stage.
The width of the conveyor and the size of the interchangeable nozzles/soaking jets will depend on the size and shape of the cake. Excess syrup flows into a tank to collect and recirculate the syrup, from where it is pumped back for irrigation. In this way a saving in syrup consumption is realised. A main filter in the system prevents impurities from entering the syrup.
At the end of the soaking process (if the system is not built into the line), the operator manually picks up the cakes from the conveyor and transfers the blanks to subsequent processes.
The equipment is manufactured from AISI304 stainless steel. Other steel grades or materials for conveyor components can be used at the customer’s request.
MAIN ADVANTAGES:
- Volumetric dosing system with syrup flow control – Syrup flow control;
- Syrup collection and recirculation tank – reduces syrup consumption;
- Cake sensor – dose syrup directly onto the product, not past it;
- Design and manufactured individually according to customer technical specifications – the equipment is customised and adapted to the company’s production processes;
- equipment energy efficiency;
- quality control at every stage of manufacturing;
- technical and technological support for equipment.
