Automated lasagne line
Tuesday, 24 August, 2010
GS Italia has used its experience in the manufacture of food processing and packaging equipment for fresh, pasteurised and deep freeze food products to automate the production of fresh lasagne.
With more than 25 successful installations around the world, the lasagne lines are an alternative to the traditional hand-made options for producing lasagne. The machinery is able to maintain the ‘hand-made’ look of the lasagne and has a production speed of 300 to 1200 pcs/h.
Available in both straight line or rotary configurations, semiautomatic or fully automatic, the machines can be custom designed to provide the smallest footprint possible, without compromising on the productivity.
There are two dosing/filling units that dose the bechamel and ragout, an automated tray dispenser and the heated product storage tanks hold 100 L. The unit is controlled by an electric board with a PLC.
The lasagne lines are designed to handle the complete production process from the production of the dressings (meat sauce and bechamel) to the preparation and packing of the final products, ready for sale.
