Icing is the icing on many baked goods. It is usually applied by hand in complex production steps. Most gingerbread decorating today, for example, is still done manually with a piping bag.<\/p>\n

Increasingly, however, the bakery industry is also using the Degree of automation increased<\/strong>. There are several reasons for this: Stricter Hygiene regulations<\/strong> or high Personnel costs<\/strong> for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the Endless piston technology<\/strong>, on which the dispensers and dosing pumps from ViscoTec are based, can be used for decoration tasks or filling in the confectionery industry. Semi-automatic and fully automatic<\/strong> realise.<\/p>

Automation in the confectionery industry, or in the production of baked goods, cannot be compared with automation options in other industries such as the automotive industry. Instead of a standardised component with defined production tolerances, here Worked on the \u201eliving product<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As no two baked goods blanks are completely the same, this type of application requires Advanced camera technology<\/strong>. In order to be able to react to the moulded part deviations in real time, it is necessary to flexibly adjustable dosing technology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With ViscoTec dosing technology, the necessary parameters such as discharge quantity, speed, etc. can be adjusted to suit the application. anytime and analogue<\/strong> during the dosing process.<\/p>\n

Especially for highly viscous or difficult foodstuffs such as Icing<\/strong> the progressive cavity pump offers outstanding possibilities. Thanks to its simple handling, the dosing pump can be used in automation solutions and integrated into all common robot systems.<\/p>\n

Application example of automatic cake decoration with VARO<\/b><\/h2>\n

A typical application is the fully automated decoration of biscuits, pastries and small cakes with icing. In a system from VARO, a machine and system manufacturer for production companies in the pharmaceutical, food and non-food sectors in Denmark, a ViscoTec VHD Dispenser<\/strong> integrated.<\/p>\n

The food robot automatically decorates various baked goods. The result is a Efficient, continuous and flexible pastry decoration<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201eOne key to success is controlling the decoration processes. With the use of the ViscoTec Hygienic Dispenser, we not only obtain a Precise control of the flow rate<\/strong>, but also a system that is durable and easy to clean. Our direct collaboration with ViscoTec ensures the best solution in every case.\u201c

The robot can dispense different patterns, even Freehand drawings<\/strong>. Specially developed robot software converts the Sketches in robot paths<\/strong> around. In conjunction with a Camera system<\/strong> the dispensing system automatically recognises which piece is next in line and which pattern is to be applied to it.<\/p>\n

The VARO system can apply different decorative patterns in one and the same process - both warm as well as cold<\/strong>. It convinces through absolute Simple operability<\/strong>. And is compatible for all types of pumpable decorations<\/strong> such as glaze or chocolate and fruit sauce.<\/p>\n

Perfect filling results<\/b><\/h2>\n

Another possibility, in which progressive cavity pumps are used in a completely new environment, are Filling applications in the confectionery sector<\/strong>Where simple piston dosing systems still reach their limits (e.g. due to excessive viscosity), the applications are either used under extreme technical, and therefore also cost-intensive effort<\/strong> realised.<\/p>\n

In this case, the eccentric disc pump can be used as a Dosing or filling pump<\/strong>e to be used. Difficult and highly viscous media, such as. Honey mixtures<\/strong> can be easily dosed and filled.<\/p>\n

In addition, confectionery manufacturers have the advantage of being able to offer New products and blends<\/strong> and can now finally be produced because the technical possibilities were simply lacking in the past.<\/p>\n

The highly viscous liquids, such as. Pastes or creams<\/strong> are dosed extremely gently and their structure is not changed. Here too chunky mixtures<\/strong>, for example, pieces of fruit or small biscuits can be pumped effortlessly.<\/p>\n

Depending on the application, the dosing pumps can be mounted directly on a fully automated filling station<\/strong> or can also be installed in a stationary and semi-automatic system, for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both decoration and embellishment applications, as well as filling applications, are comparatively simple. New areas of application for progressive cavity pumps in the food sector<\/strong>, which enable users to automate and completely restructure processes.<\/p>\n
