Working Principle & Sta-ndard Design of Ice Cream Extruder
Ice Cream Extruder (Extrusion Ice Cream Machine) is used to make extrusion-type ice cream a-nd filling-type ice cream, a-nd it also used to decorate a-nd harden the ice cream products. Variable types of ice cream products can be produced with auxiliary equipments.
Working Principle of Ice Cream Extruder:
A sta-ndard ice cream extrusion line is composed of a reciprocating product tray transmission syste-m a-nd an instant freezing storage. The inlet/outlet of product is s-et at the front of the instant freezing storage a-nd connected to the work platform, forming a circular transmission syste-m. A sta-ndard station frame is installed on the work platform to extrude, fill a-nd decorate ice creams. Inside the instant freezing storage, the transmission chain twists on two s-ets of parallel stainless steel frames.
As the first working procedure, the production line extrude the raw materials of ice creams to the product trays (such as rod-plugged product, slice product or little cake), or it fill the raw materials of ice creams into the pre-distributed cones. Different operating units are used for different products such as rod-plugging device, biscuit distributing device, chewing gum distributing device, ball-shaped cone filling, surface decorated ice cream, caramel, juice, jam or dried fruit. Then, the trays with products pass the instant freezing tunnel a-nd are frozen by circulate cooling air. After the ice cream products are frozen, the mechanical ha-nd will take the products away from the trays a-nd soak in chocolate a-nd pack the products.
Sta-ndard Design of Ice Cream Extruder:
1. Main power
The chain driving syste-m a-nd the power source of all the devices on the work platform are in the instant freezing tunnel. The driving wheels of the chain transmission syste-m a-nd the main driving shaft under the work platform are directly connected to the main power.
2. Work platform
Station frames are installed on the work platform to equip various functional parts to produce special products. These station frames are designed to be exchangeable with one other to produce extrusion-type or filling-type products. All the external surfaces a-nd components of the platform are made of stainless steel or stainless materials.
3. Instant freezing tunnel
The instant freezing tunnel of Ice Cream Extruder is composed of two s-ets of prefabricated independent storages. The evaporator a-nd high-velocity fan are positioned on the side of the chain transmission syste-m. Inside the instant freezing storage, the transmission chain twists on the stainless steel frame along the double helical rail. All the chain supporting parts, chain gears a-nd frames are designed to be easy to clean a-nd maintain. Between the chain bracket a-nd the fan is a corridor for maintenance. The tension mechanism used to fix the transmission chain thoroughly considers the temperature variation in the instant freezing tunnel. The storage panel of the instant freezing tunnel is made of stainless steel panel with PU inside. The bottom storage panel is provided with drainage ditch.
4. Control syste-m
All the ra-ndom functions including power component, filling function a-nd surface decoration function of ice cream are all controlled with PLC on the central control panel. All the production data can be compiled, managed a-nd adjusted in advance on the control panel. When other equipments are connected to the host computer, the equipments can be controlled with different programs.
5. Cooling syste-m
The sta-ndard Ice Cream Extruder applies ammonia cooling evaporator. As a optional unit, the syste-m can also applies Freon evaporator.
6. Product transmission
Product transmission instrument is specially designed for transmitting the rod-plugged products. It can be used to soak the rod-plugged products after extrusion hardening in chocolate. The instrument is equipped with 185 mechanical ha-nds a-nd a movable chocolate soaking tank a-nd special chocolate circulating pump.
