AFT buttering machine

• Applying butter or oil to bakery products such as rolls, bread, or pastries.
• Pre-treatment of baking trays or moulds before product loading.
• Automating the greasing process in medium to large-scale bakeries.
• Ensuring even coating for improved product release and appearance.

Typical throughput

For this class of twin-lane equipment, throughput typically ranges from 2,000 to 6,000 pieces per hour, depending on product size and conveyor speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption of 1-3 kW.

Construction material

As described, the frame is stainless steel, which is standard for food processing equipment to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Lane width

This unit specifies a 125mm lane width, which is suitable for a range of smaller bakery items. Other units commonly feature adjustable or wider lanes.

Overall footprint

With an overall length of 1600mm, this unit offers a compact footprint for its capacity. Width and height typically vary but are generally designed for integration into existing lines.

Coating method

Buttering machines commonly use spray nozzles, rollers, or a combination to apply the coating medium evenly.

• What type of products can this machine butter?

  This type of machine is generally suitable for various bakery items, including buns, rolls, bread slices, and certain pastries, provided they fit within the specified lane width.

• Is it difficult to clean and maintain?

• Can it apply other coatings besides butter?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturers?

Bakery coating equipment generally earns solid regard for improving product consistency and reducing manual labour. Buyers typically value machines offering adjustable coating thickness and reliable spray or enrobing systems. When purchasing used units, inspectors should examine spray nozzles for blockages, verify electrical controls function properly, and assess overall cleanliness of internal components. Common strengths include durability of stainless steel construction and relative ease of maintenance. Industry sentiment favours models designed for straightforward disassembly and cleaning, essential for food safety compliance.
