As demand for frozen desserts rises, your production line cannot afford downtime, overfills, leakage, or slow manual portioning. With delicate textures, inclusions, syrups, and toppings, maintaining product consistency while scaling output requires automation engineered for precision.
The Hefestus ice cream cup filling machine is built on FFS technology to automate forming, filling, sealing, and hygienic handling, helping you increase throughput, safeguard product integrity, and expand production without adding extra workforce.
Solution:
Our precision dosing system maintains creamy consistency while depositing inclusions, swirls, and sauces with control, ensuring accurate weight, clean fills, and reliable presentation at high speeds.
Solution:
The ice cream cup filling machine integrates forming, filling, and sealing in one fast, continuous process. This eliminates bottlenecks, stabilizes production volume, and reduces reliance on manual labor.
Solution:
Optional MAP sealing extends freshness while maintaining taste and appearance. High-integrity sealing protects against freezer burn, oxidation, and contamination, keeping ice cream cups retail-ready.
