Lye application system for pretzel production

Achieve precise lye application for pretzel pastries with high-speed capabilities, ensuring consistent surface treatment while maintaining production efficiency and quality.

Applies Lye and Sprinkles for Pretzel Production

The ALLROUND Lye Application Machine from WP Riehle is engineered for bakeries and food production facilities focused on high-speed pretzel and lye-treated pastry production. This machine features a patented lye shower and double lye curtain to ensure precise and uniform lye distribution, even at high throughput rates. With a capacity to process up to 400 trays per hour, it integrates seamlessly into bakery lines for continuous operations.

The ALLROUND is equipped with an extendible 180-litre lye tank and adjustable heating system, guaranteeing consistent temperature and optimal lye application. Optional features, such as an interchangeable salter and unloading belt, offer flexibility in product changeovers and maintain clean baking trays, enhancing production efficiency.

Designed for ease of use, the machine includes advanced controls such as an adjustable throughput speed and a lye level sensor that signals when replenishment is needed. Its space-saving design allows for infeed and outfeed trays to fold down after use. Built with robust materials, the equipment is ideal for the demands of large-scale bakery and snack production environments, ensuring reliable operation and high-quality end products like pretzels, lye rolls, and Laugenstange.
