Linear Popsicle Stick Moulding Machine
VTA Series
The inline stick moulder is used for continuous production of moulded ice cream, sherbet, fruit juice or water ice on sticks, available with capacity from 2,000 - 12,000 pcs/hr. Compared to traditional artisanal process, this equipment not only has higher throughput and automated control to reduce labor cost, but also capability of producing frozen novelties in varied design.
Industrial Popsicles / Ice Lollies / Ice Cream Bars Making Machines
The production of moulded stick products is carried out in several main stages:
1. Filling ice cream or water ice into moulds.
2. Inserting wooden sticks into product.
3. Freezing product in cold brine bath.
4. Defrosting outer layer of product with warm water spray for release from mould.
5. Extracting frozen product from moulds.
6. Coating with chocolate and dry ingredients.
7. Lay-down into wrapping machine.
8. Finally, the empty moulds are transferred to flush zones for cleaning before being returned and filled again.

Linear Ice Cream Fillers
This versatile in-line filler is used to produce ice cream cups, cones, tubs and squeeze-ups automatically with varying design, shape and size. It is constructed from 1 to 5 lanes according to container dimensions, available with capacity up to 9,000 pieces per hour.
Rotary Popsicle Stick Moulding Machine
The inline stick moulder is used for continuous production of moulded ice cream, sherbet, fruit juice or water ice on sticks. Compared to traditional artisanal process, this equipment not only has higher throughput and automated control to reduce labor cost, but also capability of producing frozen novelties in varied design. The rotary style can reduce the footprint of the machine lengthwise; however, it sacrificed the up-side-down self cleaning feature. Produce up to 1000 popsicle sticks / hour.
Stainless Steel Ice Pop Moulds
Our stick molds for inline freezers, are made of 316L stainless steel, with very good resistance to corrosion cracking. Constant thickness is guaranteed even on complicated mold shapes. The molds are assembled using a computerized robotic welding process, resulting in a brilliant and smooth surface. Mold strips have a "splash guard" feature to prevent brine from entering the mold.
