Tromp - Round Pastry Line Cutter

• Used in bakeries for high-volume production of round pastry bases, tarts, and pie shells.
• Integrated into automated pastry lines for continuous cutting of dough sheets.
• Suitable for producing consistent shapes for confectionery items and savoury pies.
• Applied in food manufacturing facilities requiring precise portioning of dough.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput is typically dictated by the speed of the upstream dough sheeting line, commonly ranging from 20 to 60 cuts per minute.

Material construction

Units of this type are commonly constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability, with cutting elements often made from hardened steel.

Integration

Designed for integration into existing or new automated dough sheeting and handling lines, often requiring mechanical and electrical interfacing.

Maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning, inspection of cutting edges for wear, and occasional lubrication of moving parts as per manufacturer guidelines.

Typical cutting diameter range

While this unit is 250mm, round pastry cutters commonly range from 50mm to 300mm in diameter, with interchangeable dies available for some models.

Power supply
