Cup & Cone Filling Machine

Introduction — Cup & Cone Filling Machine

Krishna Industries, based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, manufactures high-performance Cup & Cone Filling Machines for modern ice cream plants and dairy units. Our machines are designed to fill, dose and seal ice cream in cups and cones with excellent accuracy, hygienic operation and minimal product wastage. With robust construction, food-grade contact parts and smooth automation, our Cup & Cone Filling Machines help brands standardize portion size, improve productivity and maintain consistent quality across every batch of ice cream they deliver to the market.

Working Principle & Process Flow — Cup & Cone Filling Machine

A Cup & Cone Filling Machine works by indexing empty cups or cones under a series of automatic stations that handle filling, topping, dosing and sealing. The conveyor carries the cups or cones to the filling head, where a volumetric or time-based dosing system dispenses a pre-set quantity of ice cream mix. Optional syrup, nuts or ripple can be added through topping stations. The product then moves to sealing or lidding stations, where lids, paper or foil are applied. Finally, the filled cups and cones are discharged for hardening in the blast freezer. This streamlined, continuous operation improves hygiene, reduces manual handling and ensures uniform filling in every cup and cone.
