Working principleAfter forming the flat, fancy and spherical 3D lollipops in the format set which has 12 positions on the FlatFormWrap SC and 15positions on the FlatFormWrap HC the lollipops are taken out the format set via a transfer wheel towards the wrapping area. Thepressing system has also been revised. We are introducing an improvement toward the forming inside the format set which results inless friction on the pressing bridge of the format set, which decreases the temperature of the format set to avoid sticking of the sugar.With the new feature steady positioning of the lollipops, from transfer unit via grippers towards the wrapping area, the lollipops willbe smoothly taken through the sealing roles. The latest feature we developed is the pre heating system which will ensure a lowersealing temperature of the film and avoid the sticking of the film.

Working principle

• Compact machine with efficient high output

• Sandwich wrap style wrapping

• 15 positions hardened die set

• Pre heating of the film (patent pending)

• Enhancement curves on the pressing bridge (patentpending)

PerformanceThe GEA Aquarius FlatFormWrap forms and wraps from 600 up to 1.000 lollipops per minute depending on the capacityFlatFormwrapper you choose. The die sets on the FormWrap machine can be changed within 20 - 25 minutes. The machine has anautomatic reject system. With start up or stops this system automatically rejects the faulty lollipops. Also the automatic rejects systemstart when the wrapping is out of registration.
