Continuous pan cleaner for bakery pans

Efficiently clean and prepare baking pans with precision by leveraging continuous, high-speed inversion and multi-stage brush systems for optimal debris removal and improved production workflows.

Cleans and Inverts Bakery Pans Continuously

The FME Continuous Pan Cleaner from Shaffer Mixers & Processing Equipment is designed for high-speed cleaning and inversion of bakery pans, addressing the specific needs of industrial bakeries and food processing companies. This equipment utilizes a continuous, inverting conveyor system to move pans through a multi-stage cleaning process, optimizing waste removal without inverting during operation. Its open access design with swing arm-mounted cleaning heads allows for easy maintenance and sanitation.

Applications include the removal of protein washes and seed toppings from a variety of bakery products, such as loaves of bread, croissants, muffin tins, and more. Capable of cleaning over 50 pans per minute, the cleaner is suitable for high-speed, continuous operations. It offers customizable cleaning heads, including roller, orbital, rotary brushes, and air knives for comprehensive debris removal.

The pan cleaner is equipped with operator interface controls for programmable head position, speed, and pressure settings, ensuring precise operation. Compliance with UL and CUL standards guarantees safety and reliability in food-grade environments. Optional features like duplicate cleaning heads and additional cleaning heads are available for enhanced allergen management and maintenance. Constructed from durable materials, it includes a NEMA 4X stainless steel electrical enclosure for robust industrial use.
