Rondo - Fat Extruder

• Used in bakeries for preparing fat blocks for laminating doughs such as croissants and puff pastry.
• Applicable in confectionery production for precise portioning of fat ingredients.
• Utilised in food manufacturing for standardising fat block sizes for further processing.
• Suitable for operations requiring consistent fat sheet or block dimensions.

Typical capacity

Units of this type are typically designed to process standard commercial butter or fat blocks, commonly around 25kg.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage depending on motor size.

Throughput

Throughput for semi-automatic models is typically dependent on operator interaction, but can process several blocks per hour.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint can vary, but typically requires a dedicated area of approximately 1.5m x 1m, excluding conveyor extensions.

Material compatibility

Designed for processing various types of fats including butter, margarine, and specialist laminating fats.

Output format

Typically produces extruded fat sheets or blocks, with optional guillotine for cutting to desired lengths.

• What is the primary function of a fat extruder?

Food extruders are valued for their reliability and consistent output across food processing applications. Buyers generally regard them as durable workhorses when properly maintained. When purchasing used units, condition of the screw, barrel wear, and heating element functionality are key inspection points. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers with straightforward spare parts availability. Common strengths include consistent product quality, moderate energy consumption, and adaptability to various formulations. Verification of complete documentation and operational history is recommended before purchase.
