The semi-automatic crisp ice cream cone machine is designed for producing crispy ice cream cones, sugar cones, waffle cones, egg rolls, and other cone-shaped snacks. It combines batter mixing, batter depositing, baking, and cone forming into an efficient production process.
This machine is suitable for small and medium-sized food processing plants, ice cream cone manufacturers, restaurants, and startup businesses. With different molds, users can produce various cone sizes and shapes according to market demand.
The production capacity ranges from 300 to 1200 pieces per hour, making it an ideal choice for businesses seeking stable output and flexible production.
What Can the Semi-automatic Ice Cream Cone Machine Do?
The semi-automatic ice cream cone making machine has a wide range of uses and is more practical. The machine can produce:
- Crisp ice cream cones
- Sugar cones
- Waffle cones
- Lace cones
- Sunflower cones
- Egg rolls
- Bowl-shaped ice cream cones
Different molds can be customized to meet specific product requirements. It’s worth noting that this machine can only produce crispy ice cream cones; it cannot produce wafer cones. If you need to produce wafer ice cream cones, we offer a wafer cone making machine.
Main Components of the Crisp Ice Cream Cone Machine
A complete semi-automatic crisp cone production system mainly consists of four parts:
Batter Mixer
The batter mixer is used to prepare the cone batter by thoroughly mixing ingredients such as:
- Wheat flour
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Milk powder
- Butter
- Flavoring ingredients
Uniform mixing helps ensure consistent cone thickness and baking quality.
Batter Depositing System
The depositing system accurately dispenses batter onto the baking plates.
Benefits include:
- Consistent cone weight
- Reduced material waste
- Improved product uniformity
Baking Machine
The baking machine is the core part of the production line.
Features:
- Multiple baking plates available
- Adjustable temperature control
- Uniform heating performance
- Stable baking quality
The baking plates are made of high-quality aluminum alloy for efficient heat transfer and long service life.
Cone Forming Machine
After baking, the cone sheets are transferred to the ice cream cone forming machine.
The forming machine quickly rolls the hot sheets into finished cones with uniform shape and appearance.
Different cone molds can be customized for various market requirements.
Optional Heating Method for Crisp Ice Cream Cone Maker
As a professional ice cream cone machine manufacturer, the semi-automatic ice cream cone making machines in our Taizy factory are generally designed with two heating methods, namely gas heating and electric heating. The reason for using these two heating methods is to meet the needs of more customers.
1. Electric Heating Type Crisp Waffle Cone Machine
The electrically-heated ice cream cone machine uses electricity as the heat source so that each baking tray can be heated evenly. And according to the thickness and size of the egg rolls and cones to be made, the baking temperature can be adjusted.

| Weight （kg） | 250 | 270 | 300 | 330 | 360 |
2. Gas Heating Type Crisp Sugar Cone Machine
The gas-heated crisp waffle cone machine largely meets the needs of customers in areas with insufficient electricity supply and more expensive electricity. And when the output is large, the gas-heated ice cream cone making machine is more cost-effective. Gas heating is divided into two methods: natural gas heating and liquefied gas heating.
Technical parameter:
| Model | TZ-09 | TZ-012 | TZ-015 | TZ-018 |
| Piece thickness（mm） | 0.5-4 | 0.5-4 | 0.5-4 | 0.5-4 |

How Does the Semi-Automatic Ice Cream Cone Machine Work?
The working process is simple and efficient:
Step 1: Batter Preparation
Mix all raw materials evenly using the batter mixer.
Step 2: Batter Depositing
The prepared batter is deposited onto the preheated baking plates.
Step 3: Baking
The batter is baked at approximately 140℃–200℃.
The baking time is generally around 1 minute, depending on cone thickness and recipe.
Step 4: Cone Sheet Removal
After baking, operators remove the baked cone sheets from the baking plates.
Step 5: Cone Forming
The hot cone sheets are rolled into the desired cone shape using the forming machine.
Step 6: Cooling and Packaging
The finished cones are cooled naturally before packaging and storage.
