1. Working Principle
Ultrasonic Vibration System: The key to an ultrasonic candy cutting machine lies in its ultrasonic vibration system. This system mainly consists of an ultrasonic generator, a transducer, and an amplitude transformer. The ultrasonic generator converts electrical energy into a high-frequency alternating current signal, typically between 20kHz and 100kHz. This signal is then transmitted to the transducer, which, based on the piezoelectric effect, converts the electrical energy into mechanical vibration energy. Next, the amplitude transformer adjusts the vibration amplitude, concentrating the vibration energy and transmitting it to the cutting blade.
Cutting Process: When the high-frequency vibrating blade contacts the candy, strong vibrations occur at the contact interface. This vibration allows the candy molecules to instantly acquire energy, weakening the intermolecular forces. For candy cutting, the material can be cut with less resistance under this high-frequency vibration. This cutting method does not rely on traditional strong compression or friction, but rather utilizes changes in the material’s internal microstructure.
2. Advantages and Features
High Cutting Precision:
Precise Shape Control: Capable of accurately cutting candies to preset shapes, whether simple geometric shapes like circles, squares, and triangles, or complex irregular shapes such as cartoon characters and special logos. This is highly advantageous for creating creatively designed candy products, such as holiday-themed or branded custom candies.
Excellent Dimensional Consistency: Strict control over candy cutting dimensions ensures each piece is uniformly sized. In large-scale production, this helps guarantee product standardization; for example, in hard candy production, it ensures that the weight and size of each candy meet quality standards, which is beneficial for packaging and sales.
Superior Cutting Quality:Smooth Cut Surface: Cut candies have neat, smooth edges, free of burrs, debris, or cracks. This high-quality cut surface makes the candy look more attractive, enhancing the product’s appearance. For example, for transparent hard candies, a smooth cut surface better showcases the candy’s luster and transparency.
Stable Internal Structure: Minimal damage to the candy’s internal structure, preserving the original texture and taste. Especially for candies with fillings or multi-layered structures, such as filled hard candies and soft candies, the ultrasonic cutter prevents filling displacement or layer separation, ensuring the candy’s flavor and quality.
High Cutting Efficiency:
High Speed: The high frequency of ultrasonic vibration enables rapid candy cutting. On candy production lines, it significantly improves production efficiency, shortens processing time, and meets the demands of mass production. For example, for batch production of fruit hard candies, the ultrasonic cutter can complete the cutting process in a short time, accelerating production.
Strong Continuous Operation Capability: It can perform continuous cutting without frequent tool changes or complex tool adjustments. This allows it to work continuously and stably, suitable for long-term, large-scale candy production operations.
Wide Applicability:
Diverse Candy Types: Suitable for various types of candies, including hard candies, soft candies, milk candies, filled candies, and marshmallows. It can effectively cut both hard candies and soft, elastic candies.
Candies in Different States: It also adapts well to the state of the candies, whether at room temperature, refrigerated, or freshly produced hot candies, it can cut them smoothly.
Easy to clean and maintain:
Non-stick to blades: Due to the ultrasonic vibration, candy is less likely to stick to the blades, reducing cleaning time and workload. This not only improves cutting efficiency but also extends blade life.
Easy to clean equipment: The equipment’s structural design facilitates cleaning; the machine body and cutting parts can be easily washed and disinfected, meeting the hygiene requirements for food processing equipment.
About Cheersonic
Cheersonic manufactures the leading portioning equipment for bakeries producing fresh and frozen desserts. Since 1998 bakers have used Cheersonic machines to cut, slice and portion cheesecake, pie, layer cake, loaves, butter, cheese, pizza, sandwichs, and more. Cheersonic offers ultrasonic cutting solutions that support start-up bakeries and high production commercial facilities alike. Small standalone machines can be used in manual baking facilities and large inline robotic solutions aid in high speed production.
Cheersonic offers many ultrasonic slicing models, both inline and offline applications, with production speeds of 80 to 1,500 cakes or pies per hour.
Cheersonic’ latest offline introductions include ultrasonic cutting with or without divider inserts between each slice. This improves the quality of the cut and makes for a much better product presentation for the customer. In addition, robotic arm improves the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of the cutting process, producing professional looking products every time.
