Pizza: AMF lines to keep them coming
For industrial production, pizza lines are made to welcome any variations required. Accurate processes are a must for these flexible lines.

Royal Smilde is known for its rich diversity of sweet and savory baked creations. Either sold under its own labels, through collaborations, or as private labels, the products made by the Dutch bakery are in growing demand worldwide. A very flexible production line helped them increase production volumes, built by AMF Bakery Systems (Tromp). Particular care was given to automating apple turnover production, namely – dough folding into a triangle.
Automated dough systems make production flow more efficient and are a safe robotics solution to bring into the factory.
The Dutch ‘silo to truck’ solutions manufacturer develops production lines for all kinds of freestanding bread, with a capacity of around 7,500 kg/h, depending on the production process, type of end products and available space.
After a six-year break, DIOSNA returns to interpack with solutions for the food industry in the areas of fermentation, granulation and mixing.
Ensuring constant results from the fermentation process is largely dependent on considering the challenges of working with a living product. Artificial intelligence provides promising opportunities in the flexible management of the process.
DIOSNA develops pre-dough and dough fermentation systems that can ensure required parameters, with various degrees of automation.
Among the solutions MECATHERM is presenting at IBIE, new digital services will debut, providing tools to help optimize process efficiency.
Pizza and flatbreads. Naan and wraps. Pitas and handheld snacks. This is a generous and exciting product range, with ample space for new innovations. AMF Bakery Systems (AMF) designs complete systems that support all of them, with results matching artisan craft.
The consistency of perfectly formed dough depends entirely on the conditions during fermentation. DIOSNA develops pre-dough and dough fermentation systems that can ensure required parameters, with various degrees of automation.
With over 8,000 new patisserie product launches every year, the challenge for industrial bakers is to diversify their offers by developing innovative creations that also pass nutritional checkpoints and provide an exciting eating experience, through an efficient manufacturing process.
Scoring is a process that requires skill and shows the baker’s experience when done manually. Alternatively, as labor is becoming harder to find (and then keep), robots can efficiently take over the task; they will never need to stop and will perform constantly over time.
