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.
Rademaker offers a pizza line capable of producing pizzas in various shapes and sizes, as well as alternative products or variants such as pizza baguettes and pizza sticks. The Rademaker pizza line can process between 500 kg and 6,500 kg/hour of dough. In this respect the company specializes in dough sheeter technology. With a working width of 600 to 1,600 mm, the dough sheeter line provides the flexibility needed to manufacture a wide range of products and shapes. Capacities depend on the product and dough thickness. Proofer cabinets can be set up “in line” if necessary, to proof dough sheets before cutting out the product. Rademaker’s pizza topping solution is also said to be a modular system that guarantees the flexibility and quick changeover needed to produce a pizza topped with tomato sauce, vegetables, cheese, meat and other toppings. This allows the plant constructor to offer customized solutions for pizza production.
