Special products such as Bricelets (round wafers), fan-shaped wafers, pressed wafers and Stroop waffles (round waffle sandwiches with caramel filling) are produced on special wafer baking machines.
At the oven head the batter is poured onto the lower plates of heated baking plate pairs. Then, the baking plates close and travel through the oven. After one turn, the baking plates open again at the oven head and are guided to a take-off device suited to the respective type of product.
For the production of Bricelets, a scraper removes the products from the baking plates and transfers them onto a conveyor.
Fan-shaped wafers, pressed wafers and Stroop waffles are released by take-off arms and passed on to the downstream equipment. A fan punch or a deep-drawing tool bring the baked wafer sheets into the respective shape.
The downstream equipment for Stroop waffles comprises a cutting machine, a combined decapping-depositing-capping unit and a cooler.
