Fully Automatic Sugar Cone Production Line: Complete Guide to Equipment, Process and Capacity

Brief Inroduction

Ice cream cones are one of the most popular bakery products used in the ice cream industry. With increasing demand for high-quality cones and rising labor costs, more manufacturers are investing in fully automatic sugar cone production lines to improve efficiency and product consistency.

This article explains the sugar cone manufacturing process, equipment configuration, production capacity, and key factors to consider when selecting a sugar cone production line.

What Is a Fully Automatic Sugar Cone Production Line?

A fully automatic sugar cone production line is an integrated system designed to produce sugar cones, biscuit cone, ice cream cone continuously with minimal manual intervention. It automates the entire process from mixing the liquid batter to stacking the finished, crispy cones.

The production process includes:

1. Batter feeding and batter depositing

2. Baking

3. Cone rolling

4. Cone cooling

5. Product conveying

6. Product stacking and counting 

Compared with semi-automatic equipment, a fully automatic line offers higher output, lower labor requirements, and more consistent product quality.

Machine Feature

Machine Model: SD80-R61x2

Machine capacity: Up to 6500pcs/hour. Suitable for medium-scale sugar cone manufacturer.

✅ Machine control system: The machine adopts a PLC control system to coordinate all major production functions, including cone rolling system, baked biscuit sheet transfer, and conveyor operation, providing stable operation, reliable production performance, and convenient parameter adjustment. 

✅ HMI Control Interface: Equipped with a SIEMEN touch screen HMI, providing a user-friendly interface for machine operation, parameter setting, production monitoring, and alarm display.

✅ Oven Temperature Control System: The oven temperature is continuously monitored by temperature sensors and managed through the PLC control system. A dual-stage gas supply device together with air blower automatically adjust the heating to help the oven maintain a stable production temperature, ensure the even baking and nice cone color and texture.

✅ Zoned heating management: Independent upper and lower heating control allows separate adjustment of baking intensity in each heating zone, ensuring uniform baking results, consistent cone quality, and optimized gas consumption.

Sugar Cone Production Process

1. Batter Preparation

The sugar cone batter is prepared by mixing flour, sugar, oil, water, and other ingredients according to the required recipe.

A batter mixer ensures uniform consistency before production

2. Automatic Depositing

The batter is automatically deposited onto the plates through precision depositing nozzles. Accurate batter dosing helps maintain consistent cone dimensions and weight.

3. Baking

The baking oven consists of customized quantity baking plate sets running continuously on a circular track. Each mould is heated evenly to produce uniform color, texture, and crispness.

Key features include:

• Multi-zone temperature control
• Stable gas heating system
• Consistent baking quality
• Energy-efficient operatio

4. Automatic Cone Rolling

After baking, the hot wafer sheets are automatically transferred to rolling stations. Rolling mandrels shape the cones into the desired dimensions while maintaining consistent appearance and structure.

5. Cooling and Conveying

Freshly produced sugar cones are conveyed through a cooling system before packaging. Proper cooling stabilizes the cone structure, minimizes moisture condensation, and helps maintain the crisp texture of the finished product throughout storage and transportation.

6. Stacking and Counting

Freshly produced cones can be automatically counted and conveyed to packaging stations, improving packing efficiency and reducing labor costs.

Main Equipment of a Sugar Cone Production Line

A complete production line typically includes:

• Batter mixer
• Fully automatic sugar cone baking oven
• Automatic cone rolling system
• Cooling conveyor
• Product conveying system
• Counting system
• Packaging equipment

Additional equipment, like matel detector, paper sleeve device can be customized according to customer's requirements.
