As configurações reais de fábrica e de processos podem variar, mas nossos especialistas da indústria conhecem todas elas. Above overview shows the factory lay-out with the rotary cutter. The rotary moulder and depositor are published separately. Please use the drop-down menu for more details.
É aqui que tudo começa! As aplicações de massa úmida dão o primeiro formato aos produtos de panificação.
Principais desafios
- Sticky dough can cause release difficulties
- Belts with dough residue can be hard to clean
- Mistracking and slippage often occur with contaminated belts
Soluções
- Better release performance with non-stick material and non-stick surfaces
- Easy-to-clean and maintain belt surfaces
- Light blue belts for easier detection of residue or contaminants
Esta etapa do processo, que garante espessura regular da massa, exige um desempenho de correia de alta qualidade para uma transferência suave entre as estações de laminação.
Principais desafios
- Accurate belt tracking and regular belt speed are essential
- Belt surfaces must be easy-to-clean
Soluções
- Belt body with a high degree of lateral stability
- Non-stick belt surface for easy release and easy cleaning
- Light blue belts to facilitate detection of hygiene / contamination issues
A qualidade dos biscoitos depende em grande parte da utilização de correia com propriedades adequadas de aderência e soltura durante o processo de corte, etapa em que a massa é delicada e fina.
Principais desafios
- The correct alignment between product and rotary cutting drum must be maintained
- The process activity can shorten belt life
- Maintaining accurate product speed on the belt is essential
- The product release to the next belt needs to be as smooth as possible
Soluções
- A belt body with a high degree of lateral stability
- Superior grip and release belt properties, thanks to innovative belt materials
- A belt designed for durability as well as performance
As correias têxteis sem emenda AmDough oferecem qualidade incomparável na seleção do material do fio e no design da trama. A ampla gama de soluções AmDough garante a esteira rotativa certa para a extraç&at
Principais desafios
- Belts wear out or lose performance standards quickly
- The mould can “trap” the dough, leading to unacceptable wastage levels
Soluções
- Durable truly Endless Woven Belts for long-lasting, reliable performance
- Treated belt to reduce possible shrinkage
- A selection of optimal fabrics for reliable dough extraction
Diferentes ingredientes da massa são extrudados dos bicos diretamente na esteira, formando os biscoitos. Aqui a higiene e a resistência a óleos e gorduras são muito importantes.
Principais desafios
- The dough transfer can be problematic
- Belts can leave imprints on the dough
- Covers must be cleaned to rigorous standards
Soluções
- Belts with high flexibility for better transfer
- A smooth and glossy belt surface to avoid any imprints
- Scraper-friendly belt material to make cleaning easier
Releasing the thin dough as the products head into the oven and then taking the biscuits off the steel belt after the baking process are both very delicate steps in the manufacturing process. High temperatures, high-speeds and very small transfer points for reliable product positioning are all elements that require high-quality, high-performance belts.
Principais desafios
- The extreme operational conditions can lead to short belt lifetimes
- Product release from the Infeeder can be problematic
- Improper product positioning after transfer from Infeeder can lead to product waste
Soluções
- High-quality polyurethane Ultranyl synthetic belt material for high temperatures
- Heat-resistant and flame-retardant Modular Belts
- Inclined and reinforced splices on Synthetic Belts for longer lifetimes
- Non-stick matt belt finish for easy and reliable release
Antes de transferir os biscoitos assados do forno para as embaladoras, é fundamental garantir que o produto esteja frio o suficiente para o manuseio.
Principais desafios
- Belts often mistrack
- The heat can cause a browning effect on the belts
- Product can slip on belt surface while moving on inclined bridge belt sections
- Belt installation can be time-consuming and labour-intensive
Soluções
- Extra lateral belt fabric stability to avoid mistracking
- High-quality belt materials, including Ultranyl, Nonex and Ropanyl, for heat-resistance and superior operational performance
- State-of-the-art Maestro splicing tools for quick and easy belt installation
A very delicate stage in the production process, stacking is carried out by a set of conveyors (one of which runs at a lower speed than the other) gently overlapping and piling up the cookies along the metal rails for the horizontal flow-wrap packing equipment.
Principais desafios
- Product damage and a consequent accumulation of crumbs can be caused by belt friction
- Crumbs can present cleaning issues
- Metal rails can damage the belt’s top cover
Soluções
- Low-friction belt top cover finish, even in the splice area
- Very fine matt finish for delicate cookie handling
- Wear-resistant cover material capable of withstanding frequent contact with metal
To ensure that the finished product ends up in just the right position for the flow-pack equipment, precise belt grip is essential. Accumulating or pulling fragile products requires either perforated high-grip belts or matt-finish belts to ensure low friction.
Principais desafios
- Belt grip must be consistent and reliable
- Belt tolerances for packaging applications are very tight
- Belts for this application often have short lifetimes
Soluções
- Ammeraal Beltech One-Stop Belt Shop for just the right belt
- A wide variety of profiled belts and cover materials / finishes for precise performance and grip
- Belts made from flexible and durable materials for long-lasting
