TIME SAVING TIPS
Cake Decorating Station
Unifiller Systems provides various options
for cake decorating equipment and icing
machines, including rosettes, top and bottom
bordering, top and side icing and fully
automated cake icing systems.
Unifiller recently launched its Sheetcake
Icing Station. This all-in-one machine is
designed to streamline the icing process, allowing
large-scale sheet cake manufacturers
and commissaries to ice sheet cakes quickly
and uniformly, increasing productivity and
reducing waste.
* Machine Features and Benefits:
* Apply icing to up to 6 cakes per
minute
* On-board computer with touchscreen
controls and storage for up to
100 recipes
* Dual piston depositor with independent
volume and speed control for
each port
* Programmable PLC and graphical,
NEMA‐4X control box
* Fine height adjustment for easy nozzle
fine-tunning
The Sheetcake Icing Station is equipped
with a servo-driven icing depositor that
ensures precise and consistent icing front,
back, top and side icing application. It also
features a user-friendly touch screen interface,
making it easy for operators to adjust
settings and control the machine. The icing
station is designed to handle a wide range
of icing types, from light whipped cream
to heavy buttercream, making it a versatile
addition to any bakery.
The fairly compact and portable station
features like an on-board computer with
touch-screen controls and storage for up
to 100 recipes, dual piston depositor with
independent volume and speed control for
each port, programmable PLC and graphical,
NEMA‐4X control box and fine height
adjustment for easy nozzle fine-tuning.

ond conveyor for a third pass. The company
can also supply an innovative piston depositor
for producing wide and/or thick circular
wafer products.
IPCO is a major supplier of chocolate forming/moulding
equipment, with production
systems for industrial ingredients - chips,
chunks, drops and blocks - and decorative
products such as shavings, rolls, pencils,
plaquettes, blossoms and many more. The
company used PackExpo 2024 to highlight
its ability to supply cost effective solutions
for everything from low cost, rapid deployment
start-ups to high capacity multi-layer
systems.
Details of its steel belt-based cooling
systems for confectionery products and
freezing lines used in the production of
instant coffee were also featured.
The Rotoform drop depositor sits at the
heart of all of IPCO's high-capacity systems.
Rotoform, a rotary drop depositor, consists
of a heated stator, which is supplied with
liquid chocolate, and a perforated rotating

shell that turns concentrically to deposit
drops of chocolate onto a continuously
running steel belt.
Chips are highly uniform in shape and
size, and are free flowing for easy handling,
storage and dosing. Chips of different sizes
can be produced by simply changing the
shell.
IPCO has developed a range of triple pass
cooling systems that enable high throughput
rates while minimizing floorspace requirements.
The product is deposited on the first
belt and adheres to the underside for the
second pass. It is then removed on to a secThis

and extrusion equipment on IPCO CCM
(Chip and Chunk Moulding) triple pass steel
belt coolers, enabling three depositing systems
to be integrated on a single line.
IPCO has been supplying steel belts for
use in confectionery and chocolate processing
for almost 100 years, in applications
ranging from simple conveying to continuous
processes such as cooling/solidification,
conditioning, drop-forming and casting.
Products processed this way include
caramel, chocolate, hard melt candy,
nougat, nut brittle and more. In each case,
the product is applied to the belt as a melt,
either through casting or drop depositing,
and solidified as it passes through a cooling
tunnel.
The production of coffee is another major
application for IPCO's systems, with its
freezing lines now being used by many of
the world's major producers.
