Pastry Demolding

Company

This application was developed for a French company that is a leader in tart production. To strengthen its position, the company chose to invest in automating its production lines.

It therefore contacted JYGA for an automatic solution to demould frozen fondants. The machine had to receive the full moulds, demould the frozen pastries, reshape the empty moulds, discharge the empty moulds, return the pastries to an existing packaging line and turn the pastries upside down.

Project & solution

To meet this requirement, JYGA developed a system comprising a three-station rotary table, a two-axis manipulator, a demoulding system, a reshaping system and a system for turning products on 48-cavity trays.

The full moulds are placed manually on a holder on the rotary table. At the second station, a system fitted with a finger plate releases the frozen fondants from the mould. A two-axis manipulator fitted with clamps handles the pastries.

A piston reshapes the empty moulds at the third station.

The pastries are picked and discharged. Once unloading is complete, the table automatically rotates by one station and the unloading cycle begins again.
