Rondo - Cross Pinner

• Used in bakeries and food production facilities for creating laminated dough products.
• Essential for the production of croissants, puff pastry, and Danish pastries.
• Integrates with dough sheeting lines to introduce fat layers between dough sheets.
• Utilised in the preparation of various viennoiserie and patisserie items.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on the main sheeting line, but units commonly handle continuous dough processing.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Footprint

A cross pinner is designed to integrate into a sheeting line, so its footprint is typically linear, adding to the overall length of the line.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Integration

Designed to be integrated with existing or new dough sheeting lines, often from the same manufacturer for optimal compatibility.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning and inspection of rollers and belts are typically required to ensure consistent performance and hygiene.

Dough handling and sheeting accessories are valued for improving bakery workflow efficiency and consistency. Buyers typically seek well-maintained rollers, dividers and moulds that operate smoothly without excessive wear. Key considerations include motor condition, alignment accuracy, and compatibility with existing production lines. These accessories generally perform reliably when properly serviced, with stainless steel components particularly appreciated for durability in commercial kitchens. Mechanical simplicity often makes repairs straightforward.
