Technical details

Published extrusion capacities

Published format maxima: sticks 43,200/hour; ball cones and bars 27,000/hour; sandwiches 36,000/hour; bites 90,000/hour; cakes 2,000/hour; logs 3,000/hour. Compact BT-C: up to 24,000/hour. Recipe, geometry and line configuration determine achievable output.

Published moulding model capacities

RIA 4: up to 12,000/hour; RIA 10-C: 21,000/hour; RIA 14: 42,000/hour. Polo 10-C: 21,000/hour; Polo 12: 36,000/hour; Polo 18: 48,000/hour. Published model maxima are not identical capacities for every product.

Published filling model capacities

RUF-C: up to 6,000/hour; RUF: 9,600/hour; GMF-C: 21,600/hour; Flexline: 43,000/hour. Format limits and tooling remain configuration-dependent.

Published freezer ranges

WS family 1000–4500 l/h; GIF family 150–1500 l/h. These are catalogue family ranges, not every model’s operating envelope.

WS freezer controls

Up to 100 stored recipes, overrun adjustment, audit trail and maintenance alerts; ammonia and CO₂ configurations.

Wrapper and cartoniser capacity units

Published wrapper speeds: GMW up to 80 strokes/minute; HSW 30 strokes/minute; HSW-C 25 strokes/minute; GSW 150–200 strokes/minute. Lane counts determine total product throughput. GCS: up to 980 products/minute depending on configuration.

Ingredient-feeder configuration

IF 20/60/120 use a piston pump, interchangeable augers and blending; optional Pony equipment handles two ingredient streams. The detailed page gives up to 20% particulate feed, while broader pages give 30%, so the inclusion basis and recipe must be confirmed.

Specialist filling functions

GLIF uses servo-piston filling, a three-position valve drum, missing-cup bypass and CIP for inclusions up to 25 mm. The bottom-up mould filler handles viscous ice cream at approximately −6°C before moulding, with configurable patterns and ripples.

Cartonising configurations

GCS-C and two-, three- or four-module systems handle wrapped products; Cones & Cups handles unwrapped products. Delta robots, custom grippers, servo conveyors and PackML support flat, upright, interleaved and multilayer patterns. Published buffer duration conflicts: 30 seconds in the digital overview versus 40–60 seconds on the product page.

GMW wrapping controls

Independent rows, hot- or cold-sealing configurations, per-row temperature control, film-break/open-wrap detection and No Product–No Pull logic are described for the GMW family.

Specialist equipment catalogue rates

IF ingredient-feeder family: 2,000–12,000 l/h. GLIF: up to 24,000 pieces/h. SMART Inclusion Disc: up to 9,000 pieces/h. Stand-alone sandwich machine: up to 7,200 pieces/h. Stick Inserter: up to 200 sticks/min. Each value applies to its named equipment and configuration.

Filling format maxima

Cones and cups: each up to 43,000/h; squeeze-ups: up to 25,000/h; bulk/tubs: up to 12,000/h, depending on line and format configuration.

SMART Inclusion Disc filling

Low-pressure cavity filling with up to 30% inclusions, pressure relief, servo-guided stick insertion, sealed pistons and temperature zones. The product page describes moulded-stick technology while the extrusion overview markets extruded formats.
