When I just swiped Weibo, I saw a video of “Ice Cream Factory Line”. Among them, various types of popsicles and ice cream were continuously produced through a modern assembly line, which made it impossible for the author to rush to a convenience store downstairs. Recently, the weather has become increasingly hot, the ice cream market has gradually become active, and the dessert station in the KFC McDonald's store has begun to queue up.
Ice cream is based on drinking water, milk, milk powder, butter (or vegetable oil), sugar, etc. The main raw material, adding the appropriate amount of food additives, mixing, sterilization, homogenization, aging, freezing, hardening and other processes made of volume expansion type Frozen drinks. There are mainly two types of on-site sale (soft ice cream) and package sale (hard ice cream). The taste is rich and varied. Ice cream has a wide audience and fierce competition in the market, so ice cream production equipment in the shape of production, intelligent, automation, etc. Continuously deepening. There has been the emergence of yoghurt cone ice cream robot vending machine, in-depth unmanned sales.
Ice cream sold on site is often loaded with a layer of crispy skin as a container. Ice cream packaged for sale has a baked skin package, and other containers are packaged in two forms. In general, baked skin is an extremely important presence for ice cream. The raw materials for production are generally flour, sugar, oil, milk powder, etc. These raw materials are put into a blender and mixed and stirred before being pressed into a round dough cake, rolled into a tube, and finally baked into an oven. After the system is completed, it will be selected and packaged. Currently, this process has been largely replaced by mechanical equipment, but manual labor is still needed in the selection process. Related equipment manufacturers can combine the fruit and vegetable sorting equipment to develop equipment.
The taste of ice cream is becoming more and more abundant with the continuous progress of technology. With the pursuit of healthy food, the situation of changing the color and flavor of ice cream through additives has been improved. Many ice cream manufacturers deal with raw materials to improve ice cream. Taste, Persimmon ice cream, honeysuckle ice cream, chestnut ice cream and other healthy tastes appear. Take persimmon ice cream as an example, the persimmon needs to be astringent, peeled, beaten, sterilized and other processes, and needs to be equipped with a peeler, beater, cold Sterilization equipment.
In addition to the taste change that ice cream can attract consumers to notice, diversified shapes have become an indispensable means of attracting young audiences. This also benefits from the continuous development of ice cream production equipment. Such as 3D printing ice cream equipment can be customized for consumers The exclusive ice cream style, and the production speed is faster, reducing the customer's waiting time; while the multi-functional ice cream filling machine achieves the diversification of the ice cream product style through various changes in the shape of the pull flower; ice cream packaging machine is adjusted for this purpose. Adjustable length of the bag making machine is cut length, and the width of the film is increased at the same time, so that the application scope of the packaging machine is widened.
With the increasing popularity of on-site sales of ice cream, ice cream makers have also made corresponding changes to reduce the size of their equipment to mobile devices. Currently, there are round-stick rods, trolleys, and other functional vehicles supporting machinery. , Contribute to the diversity of on-site sales of ice cream. Of course, when it comes to on-site sale of ice cream, we must not forget that McDonald's ice cream makers did not clean the mold caused by the McDonald's caused serious damage last year, therefore, ice cream related equipment cleaning is extremely important. It is understood that the CIP cleaning system can clean the entire machine without dismantling the equipment, eliminating the possibility of lazy cleaning that may occur during manual cleaning.
Ice cream as a part of the frozen and refrigerated food industry, China's per capita consumption is not large, compared with the developed economies there is still much room for development. At the same time as the Chinese market is increasingly open, many foreign ice cream brands flood into the Chinese market , Inflicted great impact on China's brands. Faced with this situation, ice cream production companies and related machinery and equipment companies need to further study the characteristics of ice cream consumption in our country's population, develop products for the characteristics, and recapture the market.
