Fortune Cookie Machine

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction

A fortune cookie machine automatically bakes, folds and shapes the classic crisp cookie with a paper fortune slip inside. It replaces a labor-intensive manual process where each cookie must be folded by hand within seconds of leaving the oven, and allows factories to produce thousands of cookies per hour with consistent shape and size.

Batter is deposited onto heated plates, baked into thin round discs, and then folded by a mechanical forming arm while the cookie is still flexible. A paper insertion unit places the fortune slip before folding. After forming, the cookies are cooled in a short conveyor to set the shape.

The machine can be configured for standard, mini and jumbo sizes, as well as flavored batters such as vanilla, chocolate, matcha, strawberry and cocoa. Optional chocolate dipping and sprinkle coating units create premium products for gift packs and restaurants.

Paper insertion unit places fortune slips accurately, with custom printed messages.
Adjustable size and thickness for standard, mini and jumbo cookies.

Flavor and color flexibility for seasonal and branded products.
Easy change of plates for different diameters and patterns.

Payment and Shipping

Standard payment terms are 30 percent deposit by T/T before production and 70 percent balance before shipment, with L/C at sight also accepted for larger orders. A formal quotation, technical agreement and layout drawing are confirmed before the deposit is made, so both sides have the same specification on record.

Production lead time is generally 30 to 50 days, depending on configuration and order volume. Plate sizes and paper slip dimensions are confirmed with the buyer before manufacturing. Equipment is shipped by sea freight in standard 20ft or 40ft containers for most overseas orders, with export wooden crating, anti-rust treatment and moisture protection as standard. Air freight can be arranged for urgent spare parts.

Documents supplied with each shipment include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and an English operation manual with wiring diagrams. Remote commissioning support is available after delivery, and on-site installation can be arranged on request.
