Strengths of the Croissomat 4.0
Perfect final products
- Integrated calibrator
- Precise guillotine cut without stopping the belt
From stress-free assembly of the dough band to precise placement of the dough triangles, right through to consistent preservation of the fat layers during the stamping and curling process: Thanks to the extremely gentle production process, you get perfectly uniform croissants with a lovely flaky texture.
Highest level of process reliability
- Patented separator
- Rotary table with servo motors
- Precision humidifier
- Open-view curling unit
The Croissomat 4.0 separates, positions and moistens the triangles with precision – the key to beautifully curled croissants with a tightly sealed tip. The ability to see into the curling unit plays a major role in ensuring that you achieve the desired product quality without compromise.
Wide variety of curled baked goods
- Large selection of stamping dies
- Production of mini, midi and maxi croissants
- Processing of laminated, wholemeal, yeast and multicoloured doughs
- Adjustable curling tension from tight to loose
Mini, maxi, sweet or savoury: In addition to laminated doughs, the Croissomat 4.0 also reliably processes wholemeal doughs and yeast doughs. What’s more, fillings such as chocolate sticks or cheese slices can be added by hand, allowing the range to be expanded to include, for example, pretzel sticks, small baguettes and chocolate croissants. This flexibility allows you to constantly adapt your product range to new market trends.
Simple, ergonomic cleaning process
- Smooth stainless steel surfaces

- Completely tool-free, swift changeover to the compact make-up line
- Precise shaping with accurate weight control for a wide variety of dough pieces
In addition to triangles, the Croissomat 4.0 can also stamp out quadrangles, ovals, circles or donut rings – with precision and to the exact weight. On the optional bypass table, the dough pieces can be shaped by hand into pain au chocolat, filled pastries and much more. This will expand your range of applications and product range, and streamline the production of your fine pastries.
Intuitive touch control
Thanks to the familiar smartphone interface, even less-experienced staff will soon work with the same confidence as professionals. This ensures maximum process reliability and minimises the training requirements in your bakery.
For operating personnel
Maximum operational safety
The operator can select the required program directly from the clearly arranged start screen. Images of pastries in various colours make it easier to navigate the system and improve operational safety.
The large screen provides an overview of all the steps in the process and displays the relevant parameters.
For the person in charge of operations
Simple creation of programs and authorisation levels
You can create programs for any of your products quickly and easily. The individual work steps are clearly displayed as tiles, which you can easily edit as required and then save. You can create program lists and upload your own images for the start screen.
Multiple levels of authorisation enhance operational safety. For example, the screen can be programmed so that operating staff only have access to the programs currently required.

Frequently asked questions about croissant machines
What needs to be kept in mind when processing croissant dough?
Firstly, the dough should be sheeted to a thickness of 7 – 10 mm. This dough thickness is ideal to avoid damaging the existing layers in the dough. Sheeted dough is more susceptible to heating. It should therefore be finished under controlled climate conditions. When working with dough laminated with butter, an ambient temperature of 16 degrees Celsius is beneficial.
What needs to be kept in mind when curling croissants?
Once the dough has been sheeted, the triangles can be cut or punched out. It is important that the layers of dough/fat remain visible. If the cut edge is glued, the gradation will no longer be visible in the final product. The triangles are then stretched lengthwise, depending on the required number of curls, before being curled by hand or using a croissant machine.
It is also important not to squash the cut edge during the actual curling process. The croissant can be curled loosely or tightly, depending on the final product required. The tip of the curled croissant should always be in the centre of the dough piece and be resting on the underside of the croissant for the subsequent proofing and baking process.
Ideal for these baked goods
With the Croissomat 4.0, you can produce a wide range of baked goods and pastries, including the following products:
Producing croissants with the Croissomat 4.0
Calibrating
Calibrating
The integrated calibrator ensures that the dough weight remains consistent and that individual dough bands are joined seamlessly. This minimises dough trimmings whilst also relieving tension from the dough band, resulting in uniform end products.
Cutting
Cutting
The dough band is cut precisely to the required width and the trimmings are removed immediately. The length-cutting roller then cuts the band into strips with the desired triangle height.
Stamping
Stamping
Sharp stamping dies produce a precise cut with the fat layers preserved – an important prerequisite for beautiful layering and perfect product development. Choose from a range of standard stamping dies or bring your product idea to life with a bespoke design.
Separating
Separating
The universal separating unit, developed and patented for the Croissomat 4.0, precisely cuts the triangles without deformation, boosting your productivity as no retooling is required when switching products.
Panning and turning
Panning and turning
Regardless of the product size, the base of the triangles is positioned precisely in the centre of the rotary table using servo motors. The system then positions the dough pieces correctly for the subsequent curling process using the tried-and-tested rotary table system.
Moistening (optional)
Moistening (optional)
The key to making delicious croissants: By moistening it precisely and regularly, the triangular tip remains securely sealed after curling. This improves process reliability and compensates for slight variations in dough consistency or ambient humidity.
Curling
Curling
The curling cassettes ensure a gentle curling process without squashing the fat layers. The degree of curling can be adjusted from tight to loose. Thanks to the open-view design, the process can be monitored at any time to guarantee the desired product quality.
