Key advantages
A snack format
A product of about 32 g for individual packing — this is not a dessert on a plate but goods for the shelf.
The strip is baked on both sides
A Ø1600 mm cylinder for the first side and Ø800 mm for the second — the crêpe bakes evenly.
Filling from 6 g
Dosing goes down to 6 g — the cost of the product is a setting, not a constraint of the machine.
A continuous strip
The crêpe is baked as a strip and cut after rolling — the product length is set by adjustment.
10 m/min
The strip speed gives about 3,600 products per hour at a 16.5 cm cut.
Remote access
A secured address for a modem connection — diagnostics without a site visit.
Who this equipment is for
The line is meant for a snack product for the retail shelf:
- sweet snack producers
- confectionery plants
- suppliers to retail chains
- export-oriented plants
- producers with their own packing department

- Baking the stripA 28 cm wide strip is baked on the Ø1600 mm cylinder.
- The second sideThe strip is browned on the other side on the Ø800 mm cylinder.
- Filling6–12 g of jam or chocolate is applied to the strip.
- Rolling and cuttingThe strip is rolled into a tube and cut into products of about 16.5 cm.
Finished product
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Crêpe band width | 28 cm |
| Cutting length | adjustable; approximately 16.5 cm |
| Filling weight | 12 g; can be reduced to 6 g depending on the filling type |

The output is confirmed by real trials with the customer's final recipe and ingredients: it is affected by the mixing device and the nature of the ingredients, flour above all. The crêpe recipe must be compatible with the cooking machine and the texture with the rolling device. Compatibility of the filling with the depositor is confirmed by trials; BALPE provides all the necessary advice.
Production process
Depositing the filling onto the crêpe band → rolling into a tube → cross-cutting into products of adjustable length.

Trials and commissioning
One month before delivery the customer sends their ingredients (flour and fillings above all) to the factory in Landeleau for testing and final setup of the line. Before shipment, final trials are carried out at the factory in France in the customer's presence using their ingredients.
Commissioning is usually performed by two BALPE specialists over 3 days; in Ukraine this work is carried out by the EURO CLASS TECHNOLOGY team with full consultation and instruction from the manufacturer. During setup the modem operation is checked without fail — this is a condition for the warranty to apply properly.
Preparation for installation
The customer ensures the passages are wide enough to move the equipment in. Before the specialists arrive, the equipment must be placed in its permanent production position and ready for connection, with the extraction installed and connected to the ventilation system. BALPE provides the full set of connection drawings after the order is confirmed.
Standards compliance
The line is manufactured in accordance with EU standards.
