  • What is the Typical Achievable Automatic Production Rate of...?

  • 4” (102mm) diameter Pancakes = From 5400 per hour to 17160 per hour
    (6 products across the Hotplate @ 15 Depositor drops per minute to 13 products across the Hotplate @ 22 Depositor drops per minute, with Bake Zones from 662mm to 1446mm)
    6” (152mm) diameter Pancakes = From 5400 per hour to 10560 per hour
    (6 products across the Hotplate @ 15 Depositor drops per minute to 8 products across the Hotplate @ 22 Depositor drops per minute, with Bake Zones from 972mm to 1464mm)

    Notes:

    1. The Hotplate Platten width for the 4” diameter product is 6” (152mm) and for the 6” diameter product is 8” (203mm).
    2. It is also possible to produce smaller sizes of product on the same Hotplate Platten widths and to give increased production capacities with the introduction of a second Depositor Unit.

    3.875” (98.4mm) diameter English Muffins = 12000 per hour to 22000 per hour
    (12 products across the Griddle)

    3.75” (95mm) diameter Crumpets = 5400 per hour to 19120 per hour
    (6 products across the Hotplate @ 15 Depositor drops per minute to 16 products across the Hotplate at 20 Depositor drops per minute, with Bake Zones from 645mm to 1745mm)

    4” (102mm) diameter Potato Cakes = 5400 per hour to 11880 per hour
    (6 products across the Hotplate @ 15 Cuts per minute to 9 products across the Hotplate at 22 Cuts per minute, with Bake Zones from 702mm to 1062mm. These products are produced using a Sheet and Cut system and the maximum number of products across the Hotplate (9) is determined from a maximum Sheeter width of 1200mm).

    Notes:

    1. It is also possible to produce Square or Rectangular products which utilise a Sheet, Slit and Cut system.
    2. It is also possible to produce up to a 6.5” (165mm) diameter Potato Cake utilising an 8” (203mm) wide Hotplate Platten.

    2.75” (70mm) diameter Welsh Cake = 10080 per hour to 16800 per hour
    (12 products across the Hotplate @ 14 Cuts per minute to 14 products across the Hotplate @ 20 Cuts per minute, with Bake Zones from 950mm to 1110mm. These products are produced using a Sheet and Cut system and the maximum number of products across the Hotplate (14) is determined from a maximum Sheeter width of 1200mm).
