Abstract
An apparatus for the preparation of comestible-containing sandwich products comprises a sandwich product assembly station and corresponding means for the fabrication and assembly of a sandwich product in the vertical direction. The apparatus includes an extruder nozzle, wafer trays and corresponding components for the location of wafers on opposite sides of the extruded product, an indexing wheel for receiving the assembled sandwich product, and conveying means for conveying to a wrapping station and from there to a discharge end, wherein all of the components of the machine are mounted in cantilevered fashion on a vertical support or base member. The sandwich product assembly station, the indexing wheel and the wrapping station may be disassembled and retrofitted with like components of different size to accommodate corresponding differences in the sandwich product being fabricated. Also, certain of the components of the conveyor assembly including the movable conveyor means and the output conveyor are laterally adjustable.
