Every season sparks pie joy
Whether the pies have an open top – covered with various ingredients, or are closed with dough, lattice, or crumble, the technology needs to produce excellent results no matter the recipe and material changes.

The automated line designed by AMF Tromp can flexibly support a wide range of pies, either savory or sweet, in a baking tray, in foils, or in paper cups. They can bake the pie shells only, pies with the top opened or closed and pies with or without a lattice decoration. For (pre-)baking the pies, AMF recommends a Den Boer Multibake tunnel oven with impingement heating or a direct-fired system.
For industrial production, pizza lines are made to welcome any variations required. Accurate processes are a must for these flexible lines.
Technology is optimized to meet the clear trend for flexible equipment that can support changes in production and a diverse range of breads, respectively. New developments also aim at bridging the gap between artisan and industrial production, in terms of product quality and production volumes.
Visitors can expect demonstrations of a wide range of production methods for the processing of dough and many other fluid, viscous, firm, or chunky products.
Sweet or savory, pies are a perennial favorite among consumers. Highly specialized production lines are developed to ensure production meets quantity as well as quality needs, efficiently.
To maximize the benefits of automating bread slicing and bagging, industrial bakeries need to keep their customization options open. Aside from processing speed and reliability, flexible and easy adjustable equipment is a must.
There are both automatic and manual solutions for cookie production.
Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, Biberach/Riss, offers various processes.
The COMJET with the WP Robot promises professional lye application combined with a robotic cutting plant.
JAC, a manufacturer of bread cutting/slicing machines and dough processing plants, invested several million Euro in a new production facility in Lüttich, Belgium, in 2019.
“Do not disturb!” – tersely worded, admittedly, but it puts in a nutshell the demands placed on slicing machines, especially when used in branches: they must be coordinated with the shop-fittings or in a trendy black housing, occupy little space, do their job reliably, hygienically, safely and quickly, and require little maintenance.
