3. Process Flow
Batter Mixing
Automated mixing of flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and additives to form a smooth, uniform batter.Batter Feeding & Dosing
Precision dosing system pours batter onto the baking plates with accurate volume control.Continuous Baking
Pancakes are baked on a rotary or tunnel-type oven with adjustable temperature zones.Automatic Turning (optional)
For double-sided pancakes, an automatic flipping device ensures uniform browning.Cooling & Stacking
Cooled by air conveyors; pancakes are automatically stacked and aligned.Packaging
Integrated flow wrapping or vacuum packaging machine seals the final products for freshness.
