Automatic line for filled thin snack crêpes
A schematic installation drawing of the line is included in the PDF datasheet.
Application
Automatic line for thin snack crêpes filled with jam or chocolate and rolled into a tube. A crêpe band 28 cm wide is cooked on both sides, filled, rolled and cut into products of adjustable length.
Finished product
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Crêpe band width | 28 cm |
| Cutting length | adjustable; approximately 16.5 cm |
| Filling weight | 12 g; can be reduced to 6 g depending on the filling type |
| Total product weight | about 32 g (at 16.5 cm length and 12 g filling) |
| Output | 10 m/min — about 3600 pcs/h at a 16.5 cm cut |
| Filling type | jam or chocolate consistency — compatible with the dosing system |
The output is confirmed by real trials with the customer's final recipe and ingredients: it is affected by the mixing device and the nature of the ingredients, flour above all. The crêpe recipe must be compatible with the cooking machine and the texture with the rolling device. Compatibility of the filling with the depositor is confirmed by trials; BALPE provides all the necessary advice.
Production process
Depositing the filling onto the crêpe band → rolling into a tube → cross-cutting into products of adjustable length.

Trials and commissioning
One month before delivery the customer sends their ingredients (flour and fillings above all) to the factory in Landeleau for testing and final setup of the line. Before shipment, final trials are carried out at the factory in France in the customer's presence using their ingredients.
Commissioning is usually performed by two BALPE specialists over 3 days; in Ukraine this work is carried out by the EURO CLASS TECHNOLOGY team with full consultation and instruction from the manufacturer. During setup the modem operation is checked without fail — this is a condition for the warranty to apply properly.
Preparation for installation
The customer ensures the passages are wide enough to move the equipment in. Before the specialists arrive, the equipment must be placed in its permanent production position and ready for connection, with the extraction installed and connected to the ventilation system. BALPE provides the full set of connection drawings after the order is confirmed.
Standards compliance
The line is manufactured in accordance with EU standards.
