Rondo - Calibrator

• Used in bakeries and patisseries for precise dough thickness control.
• Essential for producing consistent sheeted dough for pastries, croissants, and other laminated products.
• Utilised in food manufacturing for preparing uniform dough sheets for further processing.
• Applicable in confectionery for creating thin, even layers of various edible materials.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 100 kg/hr to several hundred kg/hr, depending on dough type and desired thickness.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Working width

Common working widths for Rondo calibrators typically range from 500mm to 800mm, influencing the maximum sheet size.

Thickness adjustment

Precision thickness adjustment, often down to a few millimetres, is a standard feature on calibrators of this kind.

Footprint

The footprint for a used calibrator can vary, but typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 1m to 1.5m in width.

Construction material

Food-grade stainless steel is commonly used for contact parts and often for the machine frame to ensure hygiene and durability.

• What is the primary function of a dough calibrator?

  A dough calibrator's primary function is to reduce a dough block or sheet to a precise, uniform thickness, which is critical for product consistency and quality.

• How does a calibrator differ from a standard dough sheeter?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used calibrator?

• Can this equipment handle different types of dough?

• What should I inspect when buying a used Rondo calibrator?

Sheeters and laminators are valued in bakeries for consistent dough thickness and lamination quality. Buyers typically prioritise machines with reliable roller mechanisms and sturdy construction, as these handle repeated daily use well. Used units often represent good value when purchased from reputable sources. Key considerations include motor condition, roller wear, and whether calibration remains accurate. Well-maintained examples deliver dependable performance for croissant, Danish and pastry production. Mechanical simplicity means experienced operators can manage minor maintenance effectively.
