FlexFormer Working Principle
Working principle
The Flexformer machine has a sugar rope detection system which ensures that when no sugar is entering the format set, no stick will be fed towards the die set. The solid or center filled ball lollipops or fancy or 3D lollipops are formed in the format set. The format set and forming machine are designed to enable a very flexible, quick changeover between sizes or shapes. With an easy exchange set you will be able to change from size or shape within 1 hour. To reduce the cleaning efforts and time a CIP (clean in place unit) is available as option. This system equipped with a number of nozzles will clean the forming set in approximately 20 minutes. Required are hot water with a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius.

Performance
Very flexible, quick changeover between sizes or shapes of lollipops are possible as well as easy adjustment for different stick lengths.

Given the high operating speeds, we have gone to great lengths to ensure that the mechanical parts are all well protected. The closed machine housing minimizes maintenance needs and downtime.
