ASTec Bread Line
ASTec Bread Line enables the industrial production of bread and rolls in compliance with the highest hygiene standards. It processes different bread doughs, including soft and highly hydrogenated recipes, into a homogeneous, tension-free dough band. The design minimises cleaning effort and increases product purity.
Does the ASTec Bread Line suit your business?
If you want to produce artisanal bread and roll specialities on an industrial scale and wish to meet the highest hygiene standards, ASTec Bread Line is the ideal choice. Thanks to its customised design, it can be precisely adapted to your capacities and processes even soft, highly hydrated doughs with long resting times absolutely tension-free. The hygienic design minimises cleaning effort and ensures a clean production environment.
Recipes with up to 90 %
water content
The unique MIDOS dough sheet former is the only machine that gently processes even highly hydrated and heavily proofed doughs with a long resting time without damaging the gluten network. Ideal for yeast dough such as bread, croissants, donuts and pizza.
16 high-performance rollers
in the satellite head
The special satellite head with 16 rollers and a diameter of 75 mm was specially developed for the industrial reduction of heavy dough bands. The result is a perfectly homogeneous dough band that retains its characteristics despite the reduction in thickness.
Up to 6'000 kg
per hour
With a capacity of up to 6 tonnes of dough per hour, ASTec Bread Line is consistently designed to meet the requirements of large industrial bakeries and 24/7 operation, without compromising on dough protection.
Round and oval breads, rolls and baguettes

ASTec Bread Line processes all bread doughs, including soft and highly hydrated doughs, into a homogeneous, stress-free dough band. Here we produce round loaves with RONDObot and baguettes with the industrial long moulding system.
Strengths of the ASTec Bread Line
Fully automated artisanal moulding
- Simulation of manual labour
- Gentle processing
- Consistent aesthetics
The RONDObot is the answer to manual perfection on an industrial scale. It reduces the manual labour and gently shapes round or oval loaves and rolls, with independent tool change. This saves you considerable time and guarantees consistently high bakery quality.
Maximum performance
- Massive processing capacity
- Scalable working widths from 700 to 1,300 mm
- 24/7 availability
With a capacity of up to 6 tonnes per hour, ASTec Bread Line effortlessly handles large production volumes in continuous operation. Thanks to the various options, all types of bread can be produced - sliced, punched, round and long-moulded loaves.
Unlimited variety in bread production
- Precise stamping and cutting
- Versatile moulding
- Fast range adaptation
With ASTec Bread Line, you can produce breads, rolls and specialities process reliably on a single system. Thanks to the modular design, you can master the entire spectrum of modern shaping - from precise stamping and cutting of weight-accurate bread rolls directly from the dough band to versatile moulding processes for round, oval or long-moulded bread shapes. This gives you the necessary flexibility to react quickly to new market trends and produce a great variety of regional or trend-orientated bread shapes.
From stress-free sheeting to precise cutting
- Patented dough band forming (MIDOS)
- Hygienic cutting and punching
- Maximum product integrity
The MIDOS system forms a homogeneous dough band, even with extremely soft or long-proofed dough, while the ACS guillotine ensures this quality standard during final cutting. The side-mounted drive of the guillotine and the easily accessible design of all components guarantee a high level of hygiene, which consistently eliminates contamination and reduces cleaning times to a minimum.
Computer-aided cleaning programmes
- Optimised processes
- Minimised downtimes
- Shorter intervals between product changes
The computer-aided programmes of the ASTec Bread Line ensure standardised and therefore measurable cleaning results. In combination with the excellent accessibility of all components, the manual effort is drastically reduced. This gives you valuable production time back and ensures that your system remains ready for use at all times, even in intensive multi-shift operation.
Maximum efficiency through weight accuracy
- Precise belt guidance
- Minimised give-away
- Process-stable depositing
In industrial production, profitability is determined by grams. ASTec Bread Line is optimised for highest weight accuracy in order to keep dough leftovers as low as possible. Automatic dough leftover returns and the precise work of the cutting tools achieve uniformity over the entire batch duration. This reduces food waste and maximises the profit from every kilo of dough produced.
Revolutionary
Round moulding with RONDObot
RONDObot is the round moulding system for RONDO bread lines. It is suitable for the production of round and oval rolls and bread in a wide range of weights. It is even suitable for processing highly hydrated dough with long resting times.
Ideal for these baked goods
With the ASTec Bread Line, you can produce all types of bread to artisanal perfection. Ideal for long-fermented or high-hydration doughs.
