APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING WAFER BLOCKS Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A21C15/02 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry. Method for producing multilayer wafer blocks filled with a coating mass such as, for example, a cream, in which a first wafer block component is transported along a conveying surface to a stacking area, in particular, from the first transport device, which is configured as a belt conveyor and comprises a driven belt which is returned via a deflecting roller, to a stacking area, where the first wafer block component is raised from the conveying surface by a gripping device, second wafer block component is transported subsequently or simultaneously along the conveying surface to the stacking area, first wafer block component is placed and pressed on the second wafer block component from above in a joining process, first wafer block component and the second wafer block component have the same speed in the conveying direction at each time point of the joining process, where the speed is non-zero, there is a counter-holder guided in the conveying direction, provided as counter-bearing for the pressure or the resulting force, the counter-holder is entrained in the same way as the gripper at the speed of the first wafer block component.

EFFECT: invention allows increasing quantity of products with preservation of its quality, as well as reducing wear of equipment.
