Smart Donut Line
With the Smart Donut Line, you can produce up to 16,000 perfect donuts per hour fully automatically - in almost any shape thanks to stamping technology. Thanks to its modular design, the system can also be converted for other deep-fried baked goods.
Does Smart Donut Line suit your business?
If you want to produce dimensionally stable and uniform donuts in a wide variety of shapes fully automatically, Smart Donut Line is the ideal solution. Robust, quick product changeovers and cleaning as well as intuitive operation: the system is designed for multi-shift operation and high efficiency.
Up to 16,000
Donuts per hour
With Smart Donut Line you can achieve an impressive capacity: it produces up to 2,000 donuts per hour and row (max. 8).
Stamping
instead of cutting
The travelling guillotine stamps the dough pieces with extreme precision and its clean cut ensures that they retain their exact shape. The different stamping dies also allow a huge selection of donut shapes and sizes.
Max. 4 - 5 %
Oil absorption
Thanks to the extremely clean cut edges, the donuts only absorb 4 to 5 % of their weight in oil. This reduces your raw material costs.
Smartline and Starline
Fully automatic donut production
Production of a dough band on Smartline, then transfer to Starline: Stamp donuts, automatically remove the centre and return the remaining dough, spread to the proofing distance and transfer to the proofer
.
Strengths of the Smart Donut Line
Perfectly shaped and accurate in weight
- Unique satellite head
- Stamping instead of cutting
Exactly shaped, weight-accurate donuts - Smart Donut Line fulfils this high requirement without compromise. It uses the well-known RONDO Smartline technology to gently form an even and stress-free dough band. The travelling guillotine then stamps donuts in the desired shape powerfully and without the belt stopping. Stamping makes the dough pieces much more dimensionally stable and uniform.
Broad product range
- From mini to maxi
- Various shapes
- Fresh and frozen
Whether ring donut, bismarck, doughnut, mandazi or your own special shape: thanks to the various stamping dies, you can make the most diverse products with Smart Donut Line. The line can optionally be extended and supplemented with a filling device, sugar duster and roller as required. This means that other products such as deep-fried snails can be produced automatically.
High economic efficiency
- Only 1 operator
- Minimised oil consumption
- Further processing of leftover dough
- Powerful, precise guillotine
Thanks to the high level of automation, only one person is needed to monitor the line. The RONDO guillotine not only cuts very quickly but also extremely cleanly. The donuts therefore only absorb 4 to 5 % of their weight in oil during frying. The dough residues are automatically recycled and can be processed further. Smart Donut Line reduces your labour and raw material costs significantly.
High process reliability
- Removal and return of the centre and dough net
- Precise depositing of the donuts in the proofing chamber of the downstream system
- Primary-secondary link with the proofer
All process steps run automatically, efficiently and safely - from forming the dough band and removing the dough leftovers to separating and depositing the dough pieces. The link with the proofer, for example, ensures that the Smart Donut Line stops immediately if the proofer reports a fault. Thanks to the high process reliability, you gain valuable production time.
Intuitive operation
- Touch screen with RCC
- Recipe linking across the board
- Easy synchronisation, also with downstream proofers
The large touch screen displays the entire line and all important parameters. This makes operation simple and intuitive - even for semi-skilled personnel. Smart Donut Line can be easily integrated and, thanks to the centralised management, product changes take up very little time.
More production time
- Hygienic concept in accordance with EHEDG guidelines
- Tool-free product changes
Gain valuable production time: product changes can be carried out without tools in 5 minutes and cleaning also takes very little time thanks to smooth stainless steel surfaces and good accessibility.
Ideal for these baked goods
With Smart Donut Line, you can produce many different baked goods and pastries, including the following products:
From the dough band to the perfect donut
Dough band former
Dough band former
The Smart Feeder forms a uniform dough band. With an elevating conveyor belt and stocking hopper (both optional), donut production is further automated and the physically heavy feeding of the dough band former is no longer necessary.
Sheeting
Sheeting
The pivoting satellite head, the cross roller and a calibrator gently form an even and stress-free dough band - the basis for weight-accurate and precisely round donuts.
Stamping
Stamping
The travelling guillotine stamps the donuts out of the dough band powerfully and without stopping the belt. The advantage of stamping over cutting: The dough pieces are much more dimensionally stable and uniform. A large selection of stamping dies enables a wide variety of donut shapes and sizes.
Return of centre and dough net
Return of centre and dough net
The automatic removal of the dough leftovers ensures maximum process reliability and efficiency. The dough net can be returned and reused. A sustainable and cost-saving solution, as there is no waste.
The spreading belt then separates the dough pieces to the distance required for the proofer.
Panning
Panning
The panning unit is universal and can be combined with proofing cabinets from a wide range of manufacturers and designs (max. width 900 mm) and synchronised with their cycle rates.
