PIZZA EDGE FOLDING MACHINE
Video
The Pizza folding machine is the result of many years of experience in automatic folding of typical folded dough products, such as the typical "Danish Pastry" and puff pastry products. We have developed a pizza folding machine to serve the high volume pizza manufacturers with machines built to handle production capacities as high as 14.5m/min. or 200 pizzas per minute. Using well-proven technology from other types of machines, we have been building pizza folding machines since the mid 90's. The machines can be constructed with or without filling under the folded dough edge. The patented folding process folds only the edge, leaving the center untouched, resulting in a superior quality pizza with true rising edges.

CRUST OR STUFFED PIZZAS
Product size: 12", 10", 9", 8", / 300mm, 250mm, 225mm, 200mm, 180mm.
Rubber folding wings fold the edge of the pizza dough in approximately 5 synchronized steps, with a certain number of folding wings (e.g.20) determined by the size of the pizza. High capacity, labor-cost savings, machine strength, and superb product uniformity are some of the major advantages of this machine. This is obtained by making a large volume of products on a relative slow and smooth production flow. The operation is carried out in one continuous flow, by means of our logic groove and roller system.

HYGIENE
The machine includes a CIP (cleaning in place) system, which consists of two systems. One setup is primarily for dry cleaning during production, using air, via a nozzle that travels across the surface of the folding cassettes, continually blowing air, preventing any built-up in folding head during production (used especially for productions around the clock). The second set up is for wet cleaning. Water is used to assist in cleaning all vital parts of the folder cassettes via spray nozzles installed under and inside the machine

MATERIALS
The machine is produced predominantly in stainless steel, evoprene and POM (polyoxymethylene / also called Delrin). All parts in direct contact with the product are produced in FDA / USDA / food approved materials.
 
Capacities - Pizza machines production rate max:
12" 3 row machine: 7,200 pizzas per hour
10" 3 row machine: 8,100 pizzas per hour
8" 4 row machine: 12,200 pizzas per hour
Production speed 14.5 m/min.

THE PIZZA ROTARY TOMATO PASTE FILLING MACHINE
The rotary-filling machine has a large rotating drum with pistons, retracting when in the hopper and ejecting when right above the dough product. The relatively low peripheral speed ensures a capacity as high as 50 strokes per min. The unique concept of the rotary-filling machine gives primarily two major advantages: First, it produces an outstanding high capacity, even with shaped deposits. Second, it is very gentle with the mass, as there is no compression whatsoever, even particles can be deposited without any damage.
