Production line for making flan

Modular flan line tailor-made according to the customer’s needs and requirements.

Automation of the following processes:

✅ Placing the flan cup on the trays.

✅ Dosing of caramel.

✅ Cooling zone.

✅ Flan dosing.

✅ Thermo-sealing of the lid.

There are several challenging points as several different stations are needed to carry out the whole process.

Having to dose caramel presents the challenge of adapting the dosing machine to materials and processes that withstand high temperatures, which are necessary for the correct dosing of the product.
A cooling process of the caramel is then necessary, prior to the final dosing of the flan.
The product is then ready for packaging and cooling.

The solution provided by Formex is that of a production line with the following stations:

Tray loader, which are made to measure for the customer’s containers, and which must be placed manually.
Capsuling-Dispenser, which places the cups in the different positions on the tray.
Dosificadora de caramelo, con depósito está calefactado mediante resistencias. Nozzles and dosing system suitable for dosing the product at 170 °C.
Cooling tunnel, consisting of several fans to cool the freshly dosed caramel.
Standard DA dosing machine, with which the custard is dosed onto the cooled caramel.
Thermo-sealing unit, where the flan lid is placed and sealed by temperature. For this station we have collaborated with a company specialised in this type of process.
