This automated appliance streamlines the production of crisp, conical pastries ideal for holding frozen desserts. A batter is poured onto heated plates, molded, and baked into the familiar cone shape. Various models exist, ranging from compact countertop units suitable for small businesses to high-volume industrial devices capable of producing thousands of units per hour. An example of a typical unit includes a rotating baking drum and adjustable temperature controls to ensure consistent product quality.
The development of this equipment revolutionized the ice cream and confectionery industries. Prior to its invention, cone production was a labor-intensive process. Automation increased efficiency, enabling higher production volumes and lower costs, while also offering improved consistency in cone size and shape. This technological advancement made the popular dessert more accessible and affordable to a wider consumer base.
