The foil applicator is provided with a vacuum system to ensure that the foil is correctly placed.

The Rademaker Stripfeeder produces the required number of dough lanes. These dough lanes are transported towards a mechanical guillotine, that cuts the dough lanes in dough pieces/billets. After this cutting, the dough pieces are placed in the foil.

The combination of the stripfeeder and mechanical guillotine ensure a very accurate dough weight.

The dough billets are blocked to the desired shape without any scrap by a servo driven press. The blocking head is water heated for a precise and reliable operation.

Rademaker supplies a broad range of depositors to allow an even wider range of fillings: liquid and semi-liquid or viscous materials, with or without chunks of meat or fruit.

When a lid is desired on top of the pie, we offer two options to cover the pie. A lid can be applied by use of a rotary moulder. This unit can produce individual decorative lids. A second alternative is the integration of a lattice unit to the Pie line.

The servo driven crimping unit seals the lid to the base of the pie. The crimp decoration can be designed to your specifications. The easy exchange of crimping heads enables you to create a large range of different decorated products. The crimping head is also water heated.

A rework station is placed to transfer the scrap dough back towards the lid conveyor. This way we prevent dough waste. 

The outfeed system transfers the pies from the conveyor towards the oven band, freezer infeed or trays.
