OverviewProcess wafers with the Franz Haas FSTM-Modular series: a modular system for precise cream spreading and wafer block building, engineered for hygiene and resource efficiency.
Key benefits- Hygienic design: constructed to meet food‑safe hygienic standards for easy cleaning and product safety.
- Modular line configuration: combine core and optional modules to build a production line tailored to product and capacity requirements.
- Resource efficiency: precise adjustment of cream film thickness to ensure uniform distribution and reduce ingredient waste.
Highlight features- Modular core package: buffer, cream spreader and block builder as the basic configuration; optional modules such as sprinkling, quality control or handling modules can be integrated.
- Smart production: integration of mechanical and electronic components with intelligent software for process control, monitoring and predictable changeovers.
- High throughput capability: designed for continuous operation with production speeds quoted up to approximately 100 sheets per minute (application dependent).
- Quick changeover and hygiene: design facilitates rapid product changeovers and efficient cleaning routines.
Application possibilities- Flat wafers and wafer block production: cream spreading and block building in industrial wafer lines.
Process chain (selected steps)- Intake, weighing and dosing: hygienic intake and precise dosing for controlled ingredient handling.
- Mixing: producing homogeneous batters and cream fillings with correct consistency.
- Baking: depositing batter onto baking plates and forming wafer sheets.
- Wafer sheet cooling and conditioning: controlled cooling and humidification to prepare sheets for coating.
- Cream spreading and block building: precise film thickness control and layered assembly of wafer blocks.
- Wafer block cooling, buffering, separating/cutting, enrobing and final cooling: downstream steps for finishing and packaging.
Services and training- Commissioning, operator training and customized process workshops focused on ingredient handling, machine settings and quality troubleshooting.
- Performance assessment and technical support for line optimization.
