Sheeting solution for tortillas and chips
When producing tortillas, tostadas, or taco shells, achieving uniform product thickness is crucial for quality. Conventional methods often lead to inconsistencies and waste, increasing costs and downtime during production runs.
Ensures uniform and precise sheeting
The Paragon™ Sheeter by Heat and Control is designed to deliver uniformly sheeted products like tortillas, corn chips, and taco shells. Its roll-contoured conveyor minimizes fold-overs and stress fractures. The system includes advanced features such as direct gear drive, differential speed cylindrical rolls, and pneumatic masa containment saddles. An optional Automatic Weight Control system uses real-time piece weight measurements to maintain uniformity. The continuous lump remover ensures scrap is sent back to the rolls, not the product conveyor. Its open-frame design and washdown construction simplify cleaning and maintenance. Rolls and drives can be removed quickly as a single assembly, reducing downtime.
