The hollow wafer production line is primarily utilized to make laminated wafer biscuits that are similar to half-cylinder in shape, and its maximum production capacity could reach up to 53400 wafer bars per hour. This wafer biscuit production equipment has two baking ovens, one is for the production of special-shaped (half-cylinder) wafer sheet, and the other is for flat wafer sheet.
Our food processing machinery is suitable for many enterprises and individuals, such as large manufacturing plants of cream products or wafer biscuits, individuals that have large production workshops and financial strength, food industry experts that has built up complete sales network, etc.
Background
The hollow wafer production line was developed in 2007, and it was manufactured on the basis of our patented techniques to realize novel design as well as high degree of automation. After continuous field test and technical innovation since its release to the market in 2008, now this leisure food production plant is a quite mature product that deserves your trust.
Technical Advantage
Our hollow wafer production line is a perfect integration of many leading-edge techniques, so it will surely deliver satisfying performance as expected.
1. Baking Plate
The baking plates are uniform, exquisite and long lasting owing to the implementation of unique casting and carving techniques for special-shaped baking plates.
2. Temperature Control
A PID controller is used to auto-control the baking temperature, and the temperature fluctuation is within ±3°C.
3. Field Bus
The PROFIBUS DP control technology simplifies wafer biscuit production machines, and convenient maintenance is achieved accordingly.
4. Third Spreading Roller
Our hollow wafer production line has an especially designed third spreading roller to deal with thick layer of chocolate (or cream). This roller spreads chocolate on the surface of wafer sheets evenly, and chocolate won’t leak at the spreading head.
5. Wafer Trimming
For wafer books that are filled with cream or chocolate, they are not tidy enough because they often have cream residual on the side surface. Given this, our wafer trimming machine is developed to remove these residuals and provide clean wafer books.
6. Flat Pressing
Our wafer flat pressing machine is intended to press wafer sheets and cream layers together to form wafer books without damaging them, and it shows a high yield rate.
7. Moisture Conditioning
Moisture conditioning actually refers to two steps: the first step is to humidify wafer sheets, and the second step is to dry wafer books by cooling. These treatments are conducted for one purpose, i.e. to connect wafer sheet and chocolate (cream) firmly.
8. Wafer Cutting
The compression bar moves up and down automatically so as to cut wafer books into desired size with a clean and tidy look.

Performance Requirement
1. At the outlet of wafer sheet picking machine, at least 98 percent of wafer sheets should have clear pattern, uniform thickness, homogeneous color and plump shape.
2. When wafer sheets are on the wafer belt conveyor, 95 percent of them shall be in good shape, and the coating weight variation should be within ±3%.
3. Our hollow wafer production line has a large production capacity. Technical speaking, it outputs 8 pieces per minute, and each piece contains 224 semi-cylinder biscuits (14×16). If 4 out of 16 is cut every time, it means 448 semi-cylinder biscuits are produced every minute (14×16/4×8=448), namely 26700 biscuits per minute. On the other hand, if 2 out of 16 is cut every time, it means 896 semi-cylinder biscuits are produced every minute (14×16/2×8=896), namely 53400 biscuits per minute.
On the other hand, when cutting wafer biscuits, the ambient temperature should be within 17-20°C, and the relative humidity should not exceed 60%. For the filled layer (chocolate or cream), it is more likely to get solidified at the temperature range of 10-12°C, and it won’t shrink after cooling for 25-30 minutes.
4. The 304N stainless steel plate used for every machine of this wafer line is 1.5mm thick, except for the cooling chamber. For the cooling chamber, it is made from 1.2-mm-thick stainless steel.
5. There should be sound-light alarming devices for the baking oven, cream spreading machine, freezer and the cutting machine.
Packing
Every single machine of this hollow wafer production line is packed by flat rack, and it is covered with a layer of moisture-proof film. Then, these machines are placed in two 40'HQ containers and one 40'GP container.
