Mechanisms and methods for producing a baked or fried cake product are disclosed herein that include: a mold, wherein the mold comprises a top half, a bottom half and an end opening and wherein the mold is designed to hold a raw dough or batter product, a product handle insertion mechanism, wherein a handle is inserted into the raw dough or batter product, a heating element, wherein the heating element is designed to bake the raw dough or batter product or heat oil to fry the raw dough or batter product to form a baked or fried cake product, a dipping tray, wherein the dipping tray is designed to hold a plurality of the baked or fried cake product, a robotic tool, wherein the tool is designed to grab the handle in the baked or fried cake product and move the baked or fried cake product to the dipping tray, an open container of a liquid coating material, a robotic dipping tool, wherein the dipping tool is designed to place the full dipping tray into the container of the liquid coating material and then remove the full dipping tray from the container after the baked or fried cake product is coated, and a drying station, wherein the drying station is designed to secure the full dipping tray until the coated baked or fried cake product is dried.

A method for inserting a stick into an ice cream product with a stick pusher, the stick pusher including an actuator for linear and reciprocating movement, a control unit controlling the actuator, a sensor for measuring at least one of: the stick's position in relation to the ice cream product's height, horizontal position in relation to the product's end point, and angle in relation to the product's end point, where the control unit is connected to the sensor, the method including, at a start time, pushing a stick into an ice cream product to a stick position by accelerating the stick pusher in a first direction from a starting position, deaccelerating the stick pusher to a speed equal to zero and moving the stick pusher to the starting position, where the control unit controls the stick pusher's start time based on measurements from the at least one sensor.

A leak-proof tray for frozen food includes a first tray main body and a second tray main body. The first tray main body includes a first sleeving opening, and the first sleeving opening is configured for receiving an ice-cream cone. The second tray main body is connected to the first tray main body. The second tray main body is provided with a second sleeving opening. The second sleeving opening is configured for receiving an ice lolly stick. When a user consumes the ice-cream cone, the cone can be inserted into the first sleeving opening, so that the first tray main body can accommodate the melted liquid of the ice-cream cone. When the user consumes an ice lolly, the second tray main body can be fitted onto the first sleeving opening of the first tray main body, and the ice lolly stick can be inserted into the second sleeving opening.

In a production facility for coating ice cream products a plurality of carriers are used for transport of the ice cream products from the supply station to a coating station where coating, for example chocolate, is applied to the product. The production facility includes weight equipment configured for automatically weighing the ice cream products before and after application of the coating, which is used in a feedback loop for adjusting the coating parameters, for example chocolate temperature.

The invention relates to an apparatus for decorating frozen confectionery on sticks, the apparatus having: a coating station for applying coating material onto the frozen confectionery, a particle dispensing station for applying particles onto the coated frozen confectionery, a conveyor for moving the frozen confectionery past the coating station and the particle dispensing station, the conveyor having gripping means arranged on the conveyor and having a product attached position and an opened position for gripping and releasing the stick of the frozen confectionery, and the conveyor has guides for moving gripping means with the frozen confectionery between a vertical position and a horizontal position. The apparatus further includes coating removal means for removing coating material on one side of the frozen confectionery, which coating removal means are positioned after the coating station in the direction of the movement of the conveyor, and wherein the particle dispensing station is positioned after the coating removal means, and wherein the gripping means are arranged to hold the frozen confectionery in the horizontal position when passing particle dispensing station. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing decorated frozen confectionery on sticks making use of the apparatus.
