With BVT’s turnkey line, product variety extends beyond sweet and savory pies, which by themselves make up for a diverse product range, to begin with. The fully automated Pieline can handle all types of pies, tarts and cakes.
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.
