APPLICATIONS

This project is based on a real industrial requirement for high-volume ice pop production, where manufacturers focus on single flavor continuous operation to maximize efficiency and reduce system complexity.

The ice pop packaging machine in this configuration is designed for:

  • Long-hour continuous production

  • Stable multilane synchronization

  • Simplified liquid feeding system

  • Cost-efficient operation for large-scale output


Flexible Production Scenarios

In real factory environments, ice pop production may vary depending on product strategy:

1. Single Flavor Mass Production (This Solution)

  • One flavor per production cycle

  • Long continuous operation

  • Minimal cleaning and changeover

This setup is ideal for:

  • High-demand products

  • Cost-efficient production

  • Stable long-term operation



2. Multi-Flavor Ice Pop Production

For manufacturers producing mixed or dual-color ice pops, a more advanced system with multi-channel liquid feeding is required.

3. Ice Pop Packing + Secondary Packing (Cartoning / Boxing)

In many projects, ice pops are not only packed individually but also automatically grouped into boxes or cartons for retail or distribution.

DESCRIPTION

Product & Packaging Specifications

Ice Pop Product Characteristics

  • Product type: Juice-based liquid (low to medium viscosity)

  • Filling volume: 65–90 ml

  • Production mode: Single flavor continuous production


Packaging Format (Critical Engineering Parameters)

  • Bag type: 4 side seal stick pack

  • Bag width: 40 mm

  • Bag length: 300 mm

  • Film width: 500 mm (6 lanes layout)

  • Sealing width: 5 mm

  • Cutting type:

    • Flat cut

    • Easy-tear notch

Engineering Implications

  • 300 mm long bag → requires high pulling stability

  • Narrow 40 mm width → requires precise sealing pressure control

  • Multilane structure → requires synchronized film distribution



Machine Architecture (Based on Real Production Configuration)

1. Core Multilane Ice Pop Packaging Machine

  • Model: SF720-6

  • Structure: 6 lane vertical multilane system

  • Frame: SUS304 stainless steel

Safety System

  • Safety door interlock

  • Automatic stop when door is opened

This is essential for industrial compliance and operator protection.



2. Liquid Feeding & Dosing System (Core Module)

Configuration

  • Piston pump dosing system (6 lanes synchronized)

  • Diaphragm feeding pump for continuous supply



Why Piston Pump for Ice Pop Packaging Machine?


SystemSuitabilityReason
Piston pumpBest choiceHigh accuracy and stability
Peristaltic pumpNot suitableLimited speed and durability
Gravity feedingNot stableVolume fluctuation



Engineering Logic

Ice pop production requires:

  • Large filling volume (65–90 ml)

  • Consistent dosing across all lanes

  • Stable operation under continuous production

The piston pump provides:

  • ±3% filling accuracy

  • Anti-dripping performance

  • Easy maintenance and cleaning



3. Film Handling & Sealing System

Film Specification

  • Laminated film

  • Thickness: 7–10c

Sealing Structure

  • Flat sealing (no pattern)



Why Flat Seal for Ice Pop?

  • Ensures strong sealing integrity during freezing

  • Prevents leakage under internal liquid pressure

  • Provides consistent seal quality across all lanes



4. Coding System

  • Ribbon coding system

Printing Content

  • EXP (expiry date)

  • MFG (manufacturing date)

  • LOT number

Format

  • 3 lines

  • Character size: 2×3

This is a cost-effective solution for markets requiring basic traceability.



5. Output System

  • Finished product conveyor

Supports:

  • Manual collection

  • Integration with downstream boxing or freezing systems



Production Performance & Stability Analysis

Speed

  • 20–35 cycle/min, 150 bags/min (machine output)



Why Speed is Limited

Ice pop packaging is constrained by product characteristics:

  1. Long stick bag (300 mm)

    • Longer pulling distance

    • Higher risk of deviation at high speed

  2. Large liquid volume

    • Longer filling time

    • Requires anti-drip control

  3. Seal cooling requirement

    • Prevents seal deformation



Design Philosophy

This ice pop packaging machine is optimized for:

  • Stability over extreme speed

  • Low defect rate

  • Consistent production quality



Electrical & Control System

Core Components

  • PLC: Siemens

  • Servo motor & drive: Siemens

  • Electrical components: Schneider

  • Temperature control: Autonics

  • Pneumatics: Airtac



Industrial Value

  • Global availability of spare parts

  • High reliability for long-term operation

  • Easy maintenance in overseas markets



Key Engineering Challenges & Solutions

1. Long Stick Bag Stability

Challenge:

  • 300 mm bag length causes tracking instability

Solution:

  • Precise tension control

  • Multilane synchronization system



2. Liquid Dripping Control

Challenge:

  • Liquid tailing and dripping

Solution:

  • Piston pump suction-back design

  • Optimized nozzle structure



3. Seal Integrity Under Liquid Pressure

Challenge:

  • Liquid pressure before seal cooling

Solution:

  • Optimized sealing time

  • Stable temperature control



Optional Devices (Recommended)

  • Sealing cooling device

  • Automatic film splicing system

  • Inkjet printer (alternative to ribbon coding)

  • Stainless steel liquid tank with mixer
