Rondo - Hi-Speed Pneumatic Guillotine

• Used for precise cutting of dough sheets, pastry, or similar food products.
• Commonly integrated into automated production lines for consistent portioning.
• Suitable for bakeries, patisseries, and food manufacturing facilities requiring high-speed cutting.
• Can be applied in processes where a clean, straight cut is essential for product presentation or further processing.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred to over a thousand cuts per minute, depending on product width and desired cut length.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, along with a compressed air supply for pneumatic operation.

Cutting width

The maximum cutting width typically accommodates standard conveyor belt sizes, often ranging from 600mm to 1200mm.

Footprint

A unit with an infeed conveyor and scrap take-off system will require a linear footprint, commonly between 2.5m and 4m in length, and approximately 1.5m to 2m in width.

Materials of construction

Components in contact with food are typically made from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Control system

Units commonly feature a PLC-based control system with a user-friendly interface for setting cut length and speed.

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.
