Automation using the
SELECTA MODULAR bread roll production line

Bakeries have individual requirements in terms of performance, space, and product range. Therefore, we customize our bread roll production lines to match the specific needs, from compact solutions for medium-sized businesses to fully automated high-performance systems, building systems that are perfectly tailored to your production processes.

SELECTA MODULAR

Customer configuration:

SELECTA MODULAR bread roll production line with final proofing cabinet, ROBOMATIC loading robot and MULTIMATIC PRO dough divider and round-molding machine with VP 200.

Automation using
MULTIROLL bread roll production line

From single machine to fully integrated production line – our bread roll production lines can be flexibly adapted to your individual needs. By combining different modules, we create scalable customized solutions designed to grow with your business.

MULTIROLL

Customer configuration:

MULTIROLL modular bread roll line with final proofing cabinet and ROBOMATIC loading robot. Dough dividing and round-molding is performed using a TEWIMAT. The ROBOMATIC loading robot handles the trays when removing the dough pieces. These can then be directly loaded into the rack ovens for baking. Automated workflows ensure that the individual process steps are optimally linked and reduce the amount of manual work required. 

Customer requirement: Future-proof bread roll production by a single operator
With this new system solution, the customer is replacing its existing system – which is over 25 years old – with a modern, high-performance, and future-proof production line. The automated processes allow for operation by a single person and significantly reduce staffing requirements. At the same time, the system ensures reliable production even during seasonal peak periods and is optimally designed for the production of stamped products and pretzel sticks.

Configuration for Sieberer Bakery, Filzmoos, Austria

The MULTIROLL modular bread roll production line allows for the flexible production of a wide variety of bread rolls and long-rolled bakery items. Thanks to quickly interchangeable processing modules for cutting, stamping, flouring, moistening, and seeding, the system can be optimally adapted to the product range. The TEWIMAT ensures precise dough preparation, while the ROBOMATIC loads and unloads the baking trays fully automatically.

System description

Customer configuration: MULTIROLL hamburger bun line

The production line combines the MULTIROLL bread roll production line with the TEWIMAT dough divider and round-molding machine, a pre-proofing cabinet, and the THERMADOR tunnel oven. The dough pieces are automatically formed, deposited onto baking trays, baked, unloaded, chilled, and packaged. An automated tray transport system ensures the refeed, cleaning, and reloading of the baking trays. The result is a seamless and efficient production process with minimum manual effort.
 

Customer requirement: 18,000 buns per hour
A powerful, high-performance, and reliable production solution was needed to produce up to 18,000 hamburger buns per hour. The dough pieces should be automatically transferred to the downstream proofing process. The chosen solution was a combination of TEWIMAT and MULTIROLL 1000. With six production rows and a capacity of up to 3,000 pieces per hour and row, the system achieves the required total output and ensures a continuous, efficient production process.

System configuration:

  • TEWIMAT S6 dough divider and round-molding machine
  • Pre-proofing cabinet 1000
  • MULTI 1000 MULTIROLL long roller
  • ZAV 1000/1000 depositing unit for transfer to the existing tray transport system (cross conveyor)
  • Siemens S7 control system

Products:
Brioche hamburger buns for supermarkets and fast-food chains, ready-baked and packaged.
