Swiss Roll & Layer Cake Production Line

A Swiss roll production line is a fully automatic cake manufacturing system that turns egg-based batter into evenly baked sponge sheets, then fills, rolls, and cuts them into uniform Swiss rolls — or layers them into sheet cakes.

Product Overview

Wanttone’s Swiss roll production line covers the complete process: continuous batter aeration, precision slurry extrusion onto the oven band, radiant tunnel baking, controlled cooling and transfer, cream filling, automatic rolling, and horizontal cutting, synchronized under one PLC system at 400–600 kg/h.

Sponge texture decides product quality, so the line is engineered around gentle, repeatable aeration and controlled baking: stable-density batter, exact-thickness extrusion, and edge-to-edge even baking — supporting consistent filling and rolling.

Capabilities & Applications

Key Features

  • Continuous Aeration System

    The inflatable whipping blender produces batter at controlled, uniform density, giving every sheet the same fine crumb structure batch after batch.

  • Precision Slurry Extrusion

    An extrusion coater deposits batter onto the oven band at exact width and thickness, eliminating weight variation and reducing trim waste.

  • Even Radiant Baking

    The oven’s heating profile is adjusted for even baking across the sheet, with belt cleaning included in the maintenance plan.

  • Automatic Filling & Rolling

    Cream or jam is applied at a controlled rate; then the rolling device and press-roller form tight, uniform rolls at line speed without manual handling.

  • Hygienic Cooling & Conveying

    Cooling time and transfer conditions are matched to the sponge and filling, with accessible product-contact areas for routine cleaning.

  • One-Line Multi-Product Flexibility

    By adjusting the filling, layering, and cutting units, the same line produces Swiss rolls, layer cakes, and sponge sheet cakes; electric, gas, or diesel ovens are available.

Applications

  • The line produces Swiss rolls, mini rolls, layer cakes, and flat sponge cakes for retail and food-service markets. It serves industrial bakeries, pastry manufacturers, private-label dessert producers, and food groups adding ambient cake lines — from regional brands scaling up from semi-automatic production to large factories supplying supermarket chains.

From Preparation to Packing

  1. Aeration

    Prepare and condition the recipe to the specified consistency for stable downstream processing.

  2. Depositing

    Shape and portion the product consistently to the required format and piece weight.

  3. Baking

    Control time and temperature to achieve the target structure, color, and moisture.

  4. Cooling

    Stabilize the product temperature and structure before downstream handling.

  5. Filling

    Apply the specified filling or surface treatment evenly at the required ratio.

  6. Rolling & Cutting

    Size and separate the product cleanly for the next handling or packing stage.

The Wanttone Difference

Layer cake and Swiss roll lines are one of Wanttone’s core product families — not a side business. We manufacture the complete equipment chain in-house, including the aeration machines and cream extruders that determine sponge quality, tested under real commercial conditions in our own food factory. With roots in the 1981 Yangjiang Biscuit Equipment General Factory and a dedicated Foodstuff Machinery Research Institute, our engineers bring over 40 years of baking machinery know-how to every line we design. As an ISO 9001-certified company, we control quality from raw material to final inspection, and our service covers plant design, recipe development, commissioning, operator training, and lifetime maintenance — one accountable partner from the drawing board to daily production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What products can this line make besides Swiss rolls?

By reconfiguring the filling, overlay, and cutting sections, it also produces layer cakes and plain sponge sheets — multiple SKUs from one investment.

What is the line’s output capacity?

Standard configurations deliver 400–600 kg/h; other capacities are engineered by adjusting line width, oven length, and rolling/cutting units.

Which heating sources are available for the oven?

The radiant tube furnace supports electric, natural gas, or diesel heating, selected by your local energy costs.

How does the line support hygienic production?

Hygiene planning covers cooling, filling and transfer, including access for cleaning and protection of exposed cake. Cleaning methods and any additional treatment are specified for the selected configuration.

How are recipe and shelf-life requirements reviewed?

Recipe, filling, cooling and packaging requirements are reviewed together. Shelf life is confirmed for the finished product through appropriate testing.
