Pizza forming machine: full automation for an excellent result
The CLM Bakery System hot pressing system allows you to produce superior quality real Italian pizza as well as the characteristic Neapolitan pizza.
- Dough balls are collected by a brushless motor handler. Special grips transfer the balls accurately onto the conveyor.
- Both the conveyor and the pressing plates are heated with a controlled, heating element system, which keeps the product at the ideal processing temperature at all time.
- The plates are shaped in a way to obtain the desired pizza shape. Changing the outline allows to easily move from flatter pizza to high crust pizza, depending on your production requirements.
- Other brushless motors manage the pressing plates, thus ensuring the highest possible accuracy in terms of pizza base thickness.
- Once pressed, the bases are collected from the conveyors by a second handling system, which is fitted with vacuum picking heads, and laid using a pick and place method on the line conveyor, where toppings will be applied.
Hot pressing or Ball&Press process: why is it important
Our professional pizza press or automatic pizza roller is one of the most important machines, though not the only one, to add to your line in order to enhance your production.
Handmade-quality pizza requires matching the Ball&Pin process and the Ball&Press process.
- The Ball&Press process, and more precisely hot pressing performed by CLM Bakery System solutions, allows to improve the crunchiness of your pizza base.
- Moreover, during this process the base surface forms a congealed layer, which makes it crispy and prevents the moisture of the topping to soften the base.
Pizza made with the hot pressing method stands out for a thin, crunchy center and high and soft crust, which are two fundamental characteristics of Neapolitan pizza.
