Automation, ease of operation, simple cleanability, hygienic design, operator safety, and the ability to process nontraditional and healthier ingredients are among the top of mind requests for snack and bakery operators looking to buy or upgrade laminators or sheeters.
Company: Baker Perkins

Baker Perkins has adopted Internet-of-Things technology as standard for all its machinery and raised the maintenance and hygiene of its laminating and sheeting equipment to the highest standard, which the company dubs TruClean. The TruClean standard reduces maintenance and cleaning time by 40 percent, in line with the quicker changeover times now being demanded by the cracker industry.
Company: KAAK Group

Kaak Group and Benier offer the DrieM soft dough processing system, which is especially useful for artisan-type bread doughs. Benier and Kaak also have developed a full flexible three-roll sheeter that provides for more thickness adjustability by changing all three roller positions independently; it also allows the use of non-fermented doughs as well as water absorption levels of between 42 percent and 70 percent.
Company: Koenig Bakery Systems

Koenig offers the Menes-H and Artisan SFM EC dough sheeting lines. The former provides a three-roll dough sheet former with plug-in rollers in different surface finishes that enable both soft and large por doughs to be processed. The system allows the user to achieve variable widths, and side plates and rollers are easily removed for cleaning and maintenance. The line can process anything from baguettes, to pizza, to sheet cakes.
Company: Rademaker

Rademaker USA has made improvements to its machines in areas like sanitation, maintenance, ergonomics and operator friendliness. As a custom-build manufacturer, Rademaker participates in all the different niches, from pastries to pizzas to doughnuts.
Company: Reiser

Major suppliers of sheeting lines come to Reiser, Canton, MA, when they need to make precise deposits of expensive ingredients, says John McIsaac, vice president of strategic business development. Reiser provides dispensing equipment on sheet lines, and the most common application involves deposits of whatever fat are being used—margarine, shortening or butter—and most commonly on a laminating line. The Vemag applies a thin, even, accurate sheet as narrowly or widely as needed, with an adjustable shutter that allows for a quick change of thickness.
Company: Spooner Vicars
Website: www.spoonervicarsbakery.com
Spooner Vicars, which offers the A-PEX 400 series including the Cut Sheet Laminator and Gauge Roll, starts a potential new purchase with a series of questions for the customer: Do they plan to produce laminated or just straight-sheeted products? How much space do they have? Are they replacing an existing machine? How much versatility do they need? And do they need a three- or four-roll sheeter? In the past few years, Spooner Vicars has worked to change how its machines are cleaned hygienically, focused on ease of access and ease of disassembly.
