Abstract
In a machine for manufacturing decorative ice cream rolls, an elongate frame supports a plurality of ingredient dispensing stations including ice cream dispensing stations arranged along the frame. An ice cream manifold is mounted on the frame for coupling a continuous flow source of pressuized ice cream through ice cream distribution lines to ice cream dispensing stations. A conveyor conveys a continuous ice cream roll body along the frame and along the respective ingredient dispensing stations. A support tray dispensing station delivers successive adjacent support trays onto the conveyor at the upstream end to support the continuous ice cream roll body extruded through a roll forming head. At least one ice cream dispensing ice cream wave forming station is provided along the frame with at least one ice cream dispensing tube or nozzle and motor for generating the wave form pattern through an eccentric slide coupling. At the end of the ingredient dispensing stations and conveyor an ice cream roll body cutting station cuts the ice cream roll body into separate ice cream rolls between successive adjacent support trays. Additional ingredient dispensing stations include a sauce spray d…
