Pizza is one of the most popular foods worldwide, and various plant constructors offer industrial pizza lines. Here is a small overview of the manufacturers and methods.
The biggest pizza line fabricated by AMF Tromp was installed in the USA and produced 100,000 pizza crusts per hour. The Group supplies customized lines with which the customer can choose whether his pizza crust is to be produced either from a dough ball or from a dough sheet. For this, as the company explained, the Tromp dough sheeter line offers gentle dough handling that retains the dough’s structure, consistency and volume.
AMF Tromp uses a dough divider for crusts made from a dough ball. This offers high weight accuracy and a greater capacity than a dough sheeter plant.
Various topping and decorating systems are offered to apply ingredients such as cheese, meat and vegetables. Excess ingredients are recycled to the ingredients cone. AMF Tromp proofer systems are also tailor-made. The oven designs can be equally customer-specific. Thus AMF Tromp offers an integrated pizza solution through partnerships with AMF, AMF Den Boer and Reading Bakery Systems.
