Question 1

Prevent wooden ice cream stick jams on high-speed lines with YADA Industrail's straightness-controlled 114/93 mm birch & bamboo sticks, 100% optically sorted, warp held within 2.8 mm.

Accepted Answer

How to avoid jams in a high-speed ice cream filling machine with wooden sticks?Stick jams on high-speed lines are rarely a machine fault — they are caused by warped or inconsistent sticks. The fix is upstream: feed the line sticks that are straight and uniform on every cycle.YADA Industrial's 114 mm and 93 mm birch & bamboo ice cream sticks are built for the fastest commercial freezing lines, including moulding lines running 48,000+ sticks per hour. We control straightness at the source:Control stepWhat it doesTwo-stage polishingRemoves burrs and surface irregularities that trigger misfeeds.A 14-camera optical sorterInspects 100% of sticks and rejects any outside tolerance, holding warp (end deflection) within 2.8 mm (lot-controlled, recorded on the COA).By removing curl and warp before sticks reach the inserter, we eliminate wooden-stick warpage as a cause of jamming and broken-line stoppages — protecting your line uptime and full-speed output.
