Abstract: A multi-lane system for wrapping ice cream products is presented. The system comprises reel holders for receiving reels holding webs of packaging material, a wrapping machine arranged to receive the ice cream products, to receive the webs, to enclose the ice cream products in the webs and to seal the webs such that wrapped ice cream products are formed, and a web conveying arrangement arranged to individually feed the webs of packaging material from the reels to the wrapping machine. The web conveying arrangement comprises de-tensioning devices arranged to decrease tensions in the webs upstream the wrapping machine.

Abstract: A mould arrangement for moulding ice cream products includes an upper metal plate, and a plurality of mould pockets that each protrude from a bottom side of the upper metal plate. An insulation plate is arranged adjacent the bottom side of the upper metal plate and the plurality of mould pockets extend through the lower insulation plate.

Abstract: An ice cream mould table for moulding ice cream products, comprising a plate that has a plurality of mould pockets that each protrude from a bottom side of the plate, and a spray nozzle arrangement including a plurality of spray nozzles that is arranged to spray heating fluid on the exterior of the mould pockets to facilitate releasing of ice cream from the mould pockets. At least one spray nozzle comprises a first spray opening arranged to spray heating fluid towards a target mould pocket and in a first direction that is inclined by a first angle relative the vertical direction, and a second spray opening arranged to spray heating fluid towards the target mould pocket and in a second direction that is inclined by a second angle.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ice cream machine having a filling zone and an emptying zone. The ice cream machine comprises a rotatable unit having a radial extension, a mould for receiving ice cream, the mould being arranged to rotate with the rotatable unit, an extrusion nozzle for extruding ice cream into the mould, the extrusion nozzle being arranged at the filling zone. The ice cream machine further comprises an ejection mechanism for ejecting ice cream radially out of the mould at the emptying zone. The invention also relates to a method for producing an ice cream product using an ice cream machine.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an ice cream machine having a filling zone and an emptying zone. The ice cream machine may include a rotatable unit, a mould for receiving ice cream, a stick providing arrangement, and a guiding structure arranged to prevent more than one stick from entering the groove of the mould from the stick providing arrangement. The stick providing arrangement is arranged such that a rotation of the rotatable unit causes the groove to match the position of the stick providing arrangement and thereby allow a single stick to enter the groove, wherein further rotation of the rotatable unit causes one of the sidewalls of the groove to bring the stick along the rotational movement of the rotatable unit.

Abstract: A method for producing an ice cream product with an ice cream machine having an extrusion nozzle and a cutting tool is provided. The method comprises providing an ice cream mixture, extruding the ice cream mixture through the extrusion nozzle, and cutting the ice cream mixture with the cutting tool into an ice cream product, wherein the cutting tool is an ultrasound cutting tool. An ice cream machine for producing an ice cream product is also provided.

Abstract: A system for use in creating form-moulded items of edible ice from a mass of ice is provided, the system comprising mould boxes arranged in a circle, wherein a first opening is formed between two neighbouring mould boxes for extraction of one or more created items of edible ice from moulds formed between said two neighbouring mould boxes. An index control is arranged to move the first opening by performing an angular rotation of one of the mould boxes, so that it is moved into the first opening, thereby closing the same, while the neighbouring mould boxes with items of ice in the moulds there between are not moved. Thereby, a new opening for extraction of completed items of edible ice is formed. Thus, it is achieved that the mould boxes do not need to be movable with respect to each other during formation of the first opening.

Abstract: In a driving system for the cross closing jaw (16) of a continually operating flow packing machine it is customary that the drive motor (30) for the vertical movements of the jaw is mounted on the sledge (8) reciprocating the jaws along the conveying path. According to the invention, the motor (30) should not participate in these movements as it is mounted in a stationary manner for driving a longitudinally extending shaft (20) which cooperates with a driving bushing mounted on the sledge so as to be slidable along the shaft (20) and operating to control the said vertical movements.

Abstract: A flowpacking machine comprising a conveyor for bringing a row of products wrapped in a string casing into a closing station, in which an upper and a lower jaw (18,20) are reciprocated in counterphase to close and cut the string casing between the products. The jaws should meet at a level corresponding to half the height (h) of the products, whereby some adjustment is required for each new product height. The disclosed machine is characteristic in that one of the jaws (20) is height adjustable mounted on the vertical rod member (34) which moves it up and down, whereby the adjustments are particularly easy to carry out. They can even be controlled automatically by a reading in of the new product height. When the rod member is a tooth rod a very safe holding of the adjustable jaw is achieved.
