Rondo - Hi-Speed Pneumatic Guillotine

• Cutting dough sheets into precise portions for pastries, bread, or other baked goods.
• Trimming excess dough from production lines to maintain consistent product size and reduce waste.
• Creating specific shapes or sizes of dough pieces for automated processing or manual handling.
• Integrating into existing dough sheeting lines to automate the cutting stage.

Typical throughput

High-speed operation, commonly processing several cuts per minute depending on product and line speed.

Power supply

Requires a pneumatic air supply, typically 6-8 bar, and an electrical connection for controls, commonly 230V or 400V, 3-phase.
