Tromp - Panning Unit

• Automated loading of bakery products onto trays or into pans.
• Integration into production lines for biscuits, pastries, or other confectionery items.
• Efficient transfer of products from a main conveyor to a secondary packaging or baking stage.
• Optimisation of labour in high-volume food processing environments.

Belt width

This unit features an 800mm (31.4in) wide main belt, which is typical for medium to high-capacity panning operations.

Throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment is typically dependent on product size and line speed, commonly ranging from several hundred to over a thousand items per minute.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate motor ratings.

Construction material

Food-grade stainless steel is standard for contact parts and framework on panning units to meet hygiene regulations.

Integration

Designed for seamless integration with existing conveyor systems and upstream processing equipment.

Control system

Typically features a PLC-based control system for precise operation and synchronisation with other line components.
