DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
This invention relates to a process for continuously and particularly fully automatically making an endless wafer laminate of uniform width, consisting of individual wafer sheet layers and one or more composition layers, preferably cream layers.
Various baked wafer products made by machine are known, inter alia, in the food-processing industry. These baked wafer products are placed on the market in a filled or unfilled state and are generally known as luxury foods. Such products of the wafer-baking industry are, e.g., wafer cones, wafer cups, wafer plates, flat wafer discs, low hollow wafers, hollow sticks, wafer rolls, ice cream cones, filled wafers, icecream wafers, small filled wafer sticks, wafer slices and the like. These baked wafer products made by baking a wafer dough are crisp and brittle and break easily. They are baked to be as dry as possible and have a very low moisture content.
The various baked wafer products can be made in various ways. Some wafer products are baked in their final shape. This applies, e.g., to wafer cones, wafer cups, wafer discs, low hollow wafers and the like.
In the manufacture of other baked wafer products, a wafer sheet or an endless wafer strip is baked first and is given its final shape when it is still soft after the baking operation. In that final shape the baked wafer product is permitted to cool and to assume a crisp and brittle consistency. Examples of such baked wafer products are sugar-containing ice cream cones, hollow sticks, sugar-containing wafer rolls and the like.
Other kinds of baked wafer products are made in that a plurality of wafer sheets are baked, cooled, coated with cream, and stacked to form a wafer block. That cream-filled wafer block is subsequently cut into small handy pieces of uniform size, which are then packaged in units consisting of one or more pieces, possibly in vacuum packages, and are placed on the market in that form.
Various baked wafer products may be provided with coating consisting, e.g., of sugar or chocolate, or may contain various filling materials, such as icecream, various other creams, chocolates or the like.
The wafer products described hereinbefore differ from waffles, which are usually baked by housewives in waffle irons and constitute a soft baked product, which is similar to rolls or pancakes. These waffles made by housewives do not resemble at all the above-mentioned baked wafer products of the wafer industry as regards consistency and use.
Those industrially made wafers which are baked in their final shape, such as wafer cones, wafer cups, wafer figures and the like, on the one hand, and individual wafers, which are coated with cream and subsequently assembly to form a wafer product, such as flat wafers, wafer sheets, shallow hollow wafers, or the like, on the other hand, are made in automatic wafer-baking ovens.
In the making of small cream-filled wafer slices which are sold as slice packages, in which a plurality of wafer slices are juxtaposed and/or arranged in a row, it is known to form a blocklike intermediate product by assembling the wafer sheets which have come from an automatic wafer-baking oven and coated with cream. Such an intermediate product is constituted by the wafer blocks or wafer books made on wafer sheet-coating machines. Another intermediate product of that kind is constituted by an endless wafer laminate, which consists of individual wafer sheet layers and intervening cream layers and in which the several wafer sheets are arranged in bond like bricks in a masonry wall so that said wafer laminate can be described as a bondtype wafer sheet laminate.
In the making of wafer blocks it is known from Austrian Patent Specification No. 329,479 to provide a plurality of wafer sheet applicators above a common conveyor belt and to provide a coating head between adjacent wafer sheet applicators. The conveyor belt has protruding tines, which are higher than the wafer block to be formed and have a spacing which exceeds the length of the wafer block. In each wafer sheet applicator a wafer sheet is pulled out
