Industrial pie making systems for high-volume bakeries

Elevate your bakery operations with a versatile solution that seamlessly integrates pie shell forming, quiche molding, and tart customization, ensuring consistent results in high-capacity production environments.

Extrudes, Molds, and Deposits Pie Shells

The Tartomatic and Minitart from GEA are compact pie and quiche production systems designed for commercial bakeries and industrial food producers. These systems streamline the process of extruding, molding, and depositing to create precise pastry bases, making them ideal for producing a range of end products like pie shells, quiche shells, tart shells, and cheesecake crusts. Utilizing a volumetric extruder, they ensure accurate dough portioning and integrate with volumetric depositors and rotary molders for adding custom features such as lattice tops. The Tartomatic excels in versatility, accommodating various shapes including round, square, heart, and star-shaped tarts, while the Minitart focuses on high-capacity production. Engineered for seamless line integration, both systems are servo-motor driven for precise positioning, enhancing efficiency with minimal energy consumption. Configurable for different production needs, they provide dependable solutions for pie manufacturers seeking to optimize throughput without compromising on quality.
