Small Ultrasonic Cookie Cutting Machine
The UFM2300C Small Ultrasonic Cookie Cutting Machine will automatically place cookies on a baking tray (60 x 40 cm).
Of course, this is an excellent and highly specialized application of ultrasound technology. A small ultrasonic cookie cutter with automatic placement function is an advanced equipment designed for high-yield and high-precision cookie production.
The following is a detailed description, working principle, and main advantages of the system.
What is a small ultrasonic cookie cutter?
It is a compact automation system that combines two process flows:
1. Ultrasonic cutting: Use high-frequency vibration to cut cookie dough cleanly and cleanly.
2. Automatic placement: Cut cookies can be accurately placed on a baking tray (in this case, a standard 60 × 40cm baking tray) without manual intervention.
This is more advanced than semi-automatic machines and is designed to be integrated into production lines.
Actual operation process
Imagine a fully automated or semi-automatic cookie production line:
1. Dough conveying: A pressed cookie dough is fed into the machine through a conveyor belt. Alternatively, the dough can be directly squeezed onto the cutting table.
2. Cutting process: A series of small ultrasonic cutting heads (each cut into a cookie shape, such as stars, circles, or Christmas trees) are installed on a frame.
*The cutting head vibrates at ultrasonic frequencies (20-40 kHz).
*Press the cutting head down into the dough piece. Vibration achieved perfect cutting with zero compression, and the edges of the dough remained intact.
3. Automatic Placement: Cookies will be automatically placed on a baking tray (60 x 40 cm)
4. Waste disposal: The remaining waste dough is transported by a conveyor belt for recycling and re rolling.
5. Tray index: After placing each row of cookies, the baking tray automatically moves (index) to ensure perfect and consistent spacing for even baking.
The main advantages of this application
*Clearly defined shapes: Ultrasonic cutting is very good at cutting complex shapes without deforming them. Sharp edges with no compression marks.
*Zero stickiness: The vibrating blade is essentially anti stick. This is crucial for sticky dough containing honey, molasses, or a large amount of butter that easily sticks to mechanical cutters.
*Automation and High Speed: Automatically placing cookies on trays at high speed greatly increases production and reduces labor costs compared to manual cutting and placement.
*Perfect spacing and consistency: The machine places each cookie in the exact same position on each tray, ensuring even baking and perfect tray filling.
*Hygiene: Its anti stick properties and the usual CIP (In Situ Cleaning) function make it excellent in food safety and reducing cross contamination of allergens.
*Reduce waste: Clean cutting means less waste and higher output from dough slices.
