Round cakes manufacturing

Batter preparation

The foundation of every great round cake begins with a well-prepared batter. Coperion offers a versatile range of mixing technologies to suit different production scales and product types — from artisan-style batches to high-volume industrial lines.

For precise small to medium batch mixing, our VMI planetary mixers are available in capacities ranging from 10 to 200 liters. These mixers ensure gentle yet thorough blending, perfect for delicate cake batters that require volume and consistency.

For very high capacity production, our Shaffer high-shear horizontal mixers deliver powerful, uniform mixing in batch sizes from 680 to 1,270 kg. Engineered for speed and efficiency, they feature side unloading that make them ideal for continuous production environments

Prior to baking, our pan release sprayers support the coating of moulds for pan release applications.

Layering & icing

For bakeries looking to enhance existing production lines or maintain flexibility, our modular workstations offer the perfect solution:

• CakeStation with rotating turntables for efficient, ergonomic depositing and spreading operations.
  
• Cake-O-Matic with HMI support and self-adjusting functionality for smooth, consistent results.
  
• Cake Finishing Center — an all-in-one solution for icing, decorating, and finishing, featuring an intuitive touchscreen and capacity to store up to 100 recipes for quick changeovers.

For high-speed, large-scale production, Coperion’s Automated Round Cake Icing System (ACIS) offers a fully continuous and automated icing, layering and decorating line with conveying and computerized control, delivering up to 12 cakes a minute. See the video for more information.

Enrobing, decorating & drizzling

Enhance the look and flavor of your round cakes with automated enrobing and drizzling solutions. 

Perfect for full cake coverage, the Unifiller Enrobing Machine delivers a smooth, even coating of chocolate, glaze, or fondant over cakes, cookies, and pastries. With adjustable flow and speed settings, it ensures precision and control. An integrated air curtain and drizzle feature help create clean lines and decorative effects — ideal for products where uniform appearance is key.

For bakeries focused on decorative topping rather than full enrobing, the Bakon Drizzler offers consistent, controlled drizzling of glazes, fondants, or chocolate. Its heated container and screw pump maintain optimal flow, while the compact design allows easy integration into existing automated lines.

Slicing

Whether you’re operating a boutique bakery or a high-capacity facility, Coperion offers a range of ultrasonic slicing solutions tailored to your needs.

For smaller operations, the Bakon Pico Slicer delivers clean, accurate cuts in a compact footprint — ideal for precise portioning with minimal space requirements.

Stepping up in capacity and flexibility, the Bakon Nano Slicer supports a variety of cutting patterns, making it a perfect fit for small to mid-sized bakeries looking for versatility and speed.

For large-scale, continuous production, the Bakon inline Ultrasonic Slicer offers high-throughput ultrasonic slicing, seamlessly integrating into automated lines while maintaining exacting standards of consistency and hygiene.
