Frozen pizza forming Equipment

The process of forming allows you to shape your products homogeneously. Forming machines are fed the manufactured material in bulk and cut it down to specification, so the process takes place between formulation of the mass and the packaging of the final item.

A special class of this equipment – Form, Fill, and Seal Machines (FFS) – creates bags and pouches from flat material such as plastic sheets, fills them with your designated product, and seals them.

Forming

Let's face it. No one can resist craving pizza for more than a couple of days. And in fact, cosmonaut Yuri Usachov didn't even make it while in orbit and received a pizza delivery through a rocket. Frozen pizza making process involves first creating the dough, allowing it to rise, and cutting it into the typical pizza shapes. After choosing sauces and toppings you prefer, you can let your pizzas cool in a spiral freezer.

In the food industry, where accuracy in the cutting process is desired, ultrasonic food cutting machines are created for large-scale manufacturers that want to scale up their production while maintaining the precision in the cutting process.


<h2>Easy to use machine for cutting baked products with ultrasonic blades</h2>
The UFM8000 designed by Cheersonic, is an ultrasonic food cutter used for cutting differently shaped baked products such as bread, cake, cheese or pizza. This ultrasonic cutter is composed of a transducer, a device that converts energy from one form to another, in this case ultrasounds in vibrations. The vibrating component plays a key role in the process, because it prevents the product from sticking to the blade. Fitted with two conveyor belts, this inline model has a big capacity, considerable size and a cutting speed up to 60 cuts per minute. The food product is positioned on the first belt that slides it under the first knife and then the second knife that can perform a horizontal and a vertical movements. The second belt is needed for the product exit. No rotational movement is provided for the knives. The device has two cutting modes: slice and square cutting. Furthermore, the machine is provided with an automatic waste removal system that takes away the edges to form evenly aligned squares and slices. This machine can be integrated in the existing food production lines, adapted to customer demands.

Cutting sticky products in the food sector is not always an easy process. Small scale producers that want to start automizing and speeding up their production process, without losing accuracy in cutting the products, an ultrasonic food cutting machine can help make the process more efficient.


<h2>Small capacity ultrasonic cutting of food products</h2>
The UFM3500 is a machine developed by Cheersonic that is able to cut food products such as cakes, marshmallows, pizza, pie or dough using ultrasonic technology that ensures very precise cutting. This ultrasonic cutter is composed of a transducer, a device that converts energy from one form to another, in this case ultrasounds in vibrations. The vibrating component plays a key role in the process, because it prevents the product from sticking to the blade. Despite having a small capacity, the only knife can slice circular and rectangular product with its two cutting modes, which can be easily chosen or adjusted with the touch screen control interface.

The product is placed in a conveyor belt and pushed forward by a bar. While the product is moving forward, the knife will cut it in slices. On the other hand, in rotation mode, the product is kept in position by two holding plates. In this case, the knife rotates and cuts the round product, for example a pie or a pizza, in triangular pieces. The machine can achieve a cutting speed up to 60 cuts per minute.

Accurately cutting food products in their desired shape, is a process that can take a lot of time and effort, especially when it comes to sticky products. To make this process faster while keeping the accuracy, more and more manufacturers decide to rely on ultrasonic cutting machines.


<h2>Accurate, consistent cutting in different shapes</h2>
The UFM6000 slicer produced by Cheersonic is a multi-slice food cutter. It can be applied to cut a variety of differently shaped products such as tiramisu, Swiss rolls, brownies, bread, pizza and sandwiches. Four cutting modes are provided: round mode, slice mode and two rectangle modes (square and triangle cuts). This ultrasonic cutter is composed of a transducer, a device that converts energy from one form to another, in this case ultrasounds in vibrations. The vibrating component plays a key role in the process, because it prevents the product from sticking to the blade. The machine is formed by plates on which the product is located. While cutting, the knife moves up and down. If the product has to be rotated, the plates turn the product while the knife is stationary. This type of food cutter can cut two products, such as two round cakes positioned on these two turning plates, at the same time. Cutting speed can reach 60 cuts per minute.

When packing frozen foods into cartons, your packaging system should be cleaned by wash-down using corrosive substances or high-pressure water to clean the surfaces that contact the food.


<h2>Pack frozen foods in cartons with a smart hygienic system</h2>
The MAESTRO Cartoner, from Mpac, is an automated side-load cartoning system for packing frozen pizza, ice cakes, frozen fruits, and ice creams. It’s made of hygienic and corrosion-resistant stainless steel and equipped with a dedicated infeed system for bags, pouches, flow-wrapped products, and other tailored solutions. The system can accommodate a wide range of carton sizes and types, such as display cartons, flip top cartons and pre-glued sleeves and has Intelligent Machine Interface (iMi) in place for automatic changeovers and machine status information. Processes in the system include precise carton erecting, loading, transportation, and closing. The entire system is servo-driven and directly coupled to its components, reducing wear and prolonging operating life.

Washdown Cartoner For Frozen Foods

Adequately packaged frozen fries retain their original color, taste, and texture. And because frozen items like French fries are perishables, they need to be quickly packed and stored before they spoil. This is primarily why using a high speed frozen food automatic case packer can be effective and beneficial for mass production lines.

<h2>Quick, damage-free packaging for frozen French fries</h2>
The BluePrint Automation Cubemaster 300 offers a faster and more efficient solution to adequately pack frozen fries, utilizing all the box space and stacking the product vertically and horizontally. The Cubemaster 300 is a gravity case packer built for flexible frozen bag packing. It arranges the products on the belts, including a vibrating one that settles the bags before they are stacked on top of the other. They are then side-loaded into the carton packages with just the right speeds and precision, without damaging the fries inside.

Gravity packers don’t require a tool changeover as they function with handwheel adjustments. They pack different sizes of frozen fries and other frozen potato products such as service food bags or retail bags. They also rapidly yet delicately pack heavier frozen goods as well.

The Cubemaster 300 can be applied by manufacturers of other food products, for instance grated cheese.

Mpac Group is an industry leader in packaging automation, cartoning, and case-packing technologies.

Frozen pizza has come a long way since the Celentano brothers first commercialized it in 1957. To completely grasp how much this comfort food has taken over, consider that Italy, the country where fresh pizza originated, is now the third-largest player in the frozen pizza market in Europe.

To learn more about the challenges of mass-producing frozen pizza, we spoke with pizza cartoning experts Luc Smeets and Michael Weber from the <a href="https://mpac-group.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mpac Group</a>, specializing in packaging automation.


<h2>Mastering the art of handling large pizza cartons</h2>
Frozen pizza is produced on an industrial scale and at high speeds to keep up with the vast market demand. An industrial pizza oven operates continuously at 350 °C and can produce 10,000–15,000 pizzas each hour. Can you imagine what would happen if, right at the end of the line, your pizza cartoner gets stuck?

Pizzas piling up everywhere. An industrial oven this size is not so easy to switch off to stop production flow. So, how to make sure even the end-of-line cartoner will run reliably?

One of the key challenges in the cartoning step is keeping the pizza carton intact while moving at such high speeds.

"<em>A pizza carton is 300 mm by 300 mm and controlling the movement of these big-sized cartons at higher speeds is not easy at all</em><em>. Our rotary system can gently erect the cartons by placing them on the conveyor belt, aligning them perfectly to receive the frozen pizzas</em>" explains Luc.

Also, keep in mind the pizza cartons often come in eye-catching branded designs<em>.</em>

<em>“You</em><em> need to check</em><em> and guarantee</em> <em>that each pizza box looks </em><em>exactly </em><em>the same while running 180 pieces per minute</em>”. Michael points out.
<h2>Equally important is keeping the pizza itself intact</h2>
When the pizza comes out of the freezer, you want to minimize the time the pizzas are exposed to warmer temperatures and pack them within a few seconds.

"<em>To prevent damaging the pizzas, we have a special infeed. One or more pizzas are </em><em>placed</em><em> in a bucket by a conveyor system</em><em>, which </em><em>retracts once the bucket </em><em>is full of pizza and</em><em> moves on to the next bucket. Instead of shooting them in, the system follows them and gently pushes them sideways in the cartons</em>" Luc highlights.

And what about pizzas with toppings? Apparently, frozen toppings like mushrooms are hard as stones, and if your pizza is forced into a carton that doesn’t match in height, the toppings will spread irregularly and may even damage the carton itself.

<em>"Our cartoner can control the pizza carton in such a way that it is still possible to push in the pizza without damaging the carton or pizza, even if the pizza is a little higher than the carton. In case of a clear height difference, the intelligent software identifies the height difference and sorts the pizza out to avoid stopping the machine and damaging the pizzas so as not to waste," </em>Michael claims.

As Michael reminds us, pushing the pizza into the carton with too much force makes it act like a frisbee. And even though it may have the same disc shape, this tasty food is not designed for outdoor play.

The need for speed - Let's pack 180 frozen pizzas a minute

Food

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Freezing ready foods is a science in its own right. The process must be performed quickly to retain the quality, but decreasing temperatures too fast forms crystals, reducing shelf-life and distorting organoleptic properties. Apart from industrial freezers, frozen food production technology specialized packaging equipment that protects the items from freezer burn and cold chain degradation.

Frozen food

A snack is a small portion of food ready to eat and simple and fast to prepare. People usually consume snacks during the day between traditional meals such as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Snack foods include simple products such as nuts, dried fruits, peanuts as well as packaged and processed foods. Puffed corn products made by extrusion or flavored potato chips are examples of processed foods.
