Precision cutting of extruded confectionery products with different textures

The Guillotine, from Mattoc, is a cutting system that can simultaneously cut multiple extruded confectionery products into a uniform size. A belt carries the products under the blade at a constant speed via feedback from the conveyor belt drive. Then the products are cut continuously as the blade advances. The system is available in 4 cutting widths (400, 800, 1200, and 1600mm) and is supplied with a stainless-steel static blade or ultrasonic cutting blades for sticky or fragile products. The machine is driven by a servomotor with a cutting speed of up to 350 cuts per minute for every 20mm cutting length. The cutting length of the product can be set from 5mm to 1m or longer depending on the system’s speed.

Cutting multiple extruded foods to a controlled size and in uniform lengths

The Guillotine, from Mattoc, is cutting equipment that can simultaneously cut multiple extruded food products such as textured vegetable protein into a controlled size. The unit is driven by a servomotor which is placed at the end of the extrusion line. A belt carries the extruded product under the blade to be cut in uniform lengths based on the feedback of the conveyor belt drive. Cutting lengths of the extruded products can be controlled from 5mm to 1m or longer. It has a cutting speed of up to 350 cuts per minute for a cutting length of 20mm. Longer lengths would require slower speeds. The system is available in 4 cutting widths (400, 800, 1200, and 1600mm) and is supplied with a stainless-steel static blade or ultrasonic cutting blades for sticky or fragile products.

Switch between cakes through different cutting and roller configurations

The TT Italy Sponge Cake Production Line uses a turbo mixer to prepare the batter and cream materials. A roller depositor then dispenses a layer of batter on the oven belt. The line can prepare decorations before everything moves into the baking area.
After moving through the baking and cooling sections, the cakes will reach a workbench section where a longitudinal cutter and syrup dosing unit work. A filling dispenser is also suitable for filled goods.
A transversal cutter will create the proper cuts measured for your use. An ultrasonic cutter can also work with items with heavy cream content, preventing the squeezing of filling while cutting, ensuring end product uniformity and desired looks.

Precision and hygienic cutting of creamy cakes using ultrasonic vibrations

The transversal ultrasonic cutter from TT Italy uses vibrating blades that cut your cake through quickly and precisely, preventing it from any damage or imperfections.
The cutter uses ultrasonic waves at a higher frequency than other traditional waves. The vibrations produced by these waves will create a frictionless cutting surface. The design also prevents waste, as the cake material is trimmed safely and effectively.
