The YC-170 automatically wraps the ice cream with mochi dough, forming uniform, leak-proof mochi ice cream pieces. Simultaneously, the machine supplies small plastic trays automatically and places each formed mochi ice cream into the trays—eliminating the need for manual picking. Tray sizes can be customized to hold 2-10 pieces, depending on your needs.
- Flour Coating (YC-23): The tray-filled mochi ice cream pieces are conveyed to the YC-23 Imitate Handmade Flour Coating Machine. This machine applies a thin, even layer of flour to the surface of the mochi, preventing sticking during subsequent processing. The built-in dust absorption system keeps the workspace clean and reduces flour waste.
- Tray Aligning (YC-150): After flour coating, the trays are sent to the YC-150 Automatic Tray Aligning Machine. The machine aligns the trays precisely, ensuring they are positioned correctly for the next steps—such as quick freezing or vacuum packaging. This step ensures a smooth, continuous flow of production, with no bottlenecks.
- Post-Processing (Optional): Once aligned, the trays can be directly sent to a quick-freezing machine to lock in freshness, or to a vacuum packaging machine for long-term storage. The entire process from dough preparation to tray alignment takes place automatically, with a production speed of 10-90 pieces per minute—adjustable to match your production needs.
