Our full-automatic Maamoul production line is specially designed to meet the high-standard production needs of Maamoul and a variety of other popular foods, integrating three high-performance machines to achieve seamless connection, space-saving and labor-saving effects. Whether you are a small and medium-sized food factory or a large-scale production enterprise, this production line can bring stable productivity and high-quality products, helping you gain an advantage in the competitive market.

1. Detailed Introduction & Parameter

The full-automatic Maamoul production line consists of three core machines: YC-170 Automatic Encrusting Machine, YC-106 Automatic Stamping Machine, and YC-165 Automatic Tray Aligning Machine. Each machine undertakes a key link in the production process, with complementary functions and stable performance, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire production line.

1.1 YC-170 Automatic Encrusting Machine

As the core equipment of the production line, the YC-170 Automatic Encrusting Machine is mainly responsible for the encrusting and initial forming of Maamoul. Aiming at the characteristics of Maamoul fillings (such as date paste, nut paste) with high viscosity and special formulas, we have specially increased the motor power to ensure smooth extrusion of fillings without blockage or uneven filling. This machine not only adapts to Maamoul production but also supports the encrusting of various other foods, with strong versatility.

1.2 YC-106 Automatic Stamping Machine

The YC-106 Automatic Stamping Machine is responsible for the precise forming and demolding of Maamoul. We have optimized the mold design for Maamoul production: the mold can be customized as a heating mold, which effectively solves the problem that Maamoul is easy to stick to the mold after forming, ensuring smooth demolding, intact shape, and clear patterns on the surface of the product. At the same time, the machine is equipped with a chopper device, which can be switched to produce long strip date bar cookies, expanding the production range.

1.3 YC-165 Automatic Tray Aligning Machine (Automatic Tray Arrangement Equipment)

The YC-165 Automatic Tray Aligning Machine is the terminal equipment of the production line, responsible for automatically arranging the formed Maamoul (or other products) into trays, which greatly saves manual tray arrangement time and reduces labor costs. The machine can automatically calculate the arrangement spacing according to the size of the product and the specification of the tray, supporting multiple arrangement methods to maximize the use of tray space. Its size can be adjusted according to the actual area of the customer's factory, realizing space-saving layout.

2. Working Process of the Full-Automatic Production Line

The full-automatic Maamoul production line adopts an integrated design, with simple operation and smooth connection between each link. Only one worker is needed to operate the whole production line, which greatly saves labor costs. The specific working process is as follows:

1. Raw Material Preparation: Prepare Maamoul crust dough and fillings (such as date paste, nut paste) according to the formula, and put the dough and fillings into the corresponding feeding ports of the YC-170 Automatic Encrusting Machine respectively.
2. Encrusting & Initial Forming: Start the YC-170 Automatic Encrusting Machine. The enhanced motor drives the equipment to extrude the fillings smoothly, and the machine wraps the fillings with the crust dough according to the set weight (10g-150g) to form semi-finished Maamoul with uniform skin and filling ratio. The semi-finished products are automatically conveyed to the YC-106 Automatic Stamping Machine through the conveyor belt.
3. Precise Forming & Demolding: The YC-106 Automatic Stamping Machine receives the semi-finished products, and the customized heating mold stamps the semi-finished products into the standard Maamoul shape with clear patterns. The heating function of the mold ensures that Maamoul can be smoothly demolded without sticking to the mold. If producing long strip date bar cookies, the chopper device can be activated to cut the semi-finished products into the required length.
4. Automatic Tray Arrangement: The formed Maamoul (or other products) are conveyed to the YC-165 Automatic Tray Aligning Machine. The machine automatically identifies the product size and tray specification, calculates the optimal arrangement spacing, and arranges the products into the tray in an orderly manner. After the tray is full, it can be manually taken out for subsequent baking, packaging and other processes.
5. Expansion & Adjustment: If the production capacity needs to be expanded in the future, the production line can be extended and upgraded to a larger-scale full-automatic production line without major renovation of the factory space, realizing flexible production.

The whole working process is fully automatic, with high production efficiency, stable product quality, and no manual intervention in the core links, which effectively avoids product pollution caused by manual contact and ensures food safety.
