The PPI-200 is an efficient pastry production machine that can accept sheeted dough products from a makeup line or cutting table. This provides a vertically integrated packaging system for your puff pastry production line at an entry-level price. The PPI-200 is the ideal interleaver and automatic pastry production machine for phyllo dough, cobbler crusts, pie crusts, and much more.
The Pacproinc® PPI-200 interleaver automatically places paper, film or foil under your raw dough product. In this way the system improves freeze release, ease of preparation, sanitary handling, shelf life, portion control, separation, and package presentation.
Interleaved (underleaved) products can be conveyed through your puff pastry production line to one of our modular auto stackers. This pastry production machine offers you hands-free counting and auto stacking before introduction to your packaging or wrapping machine. Gain additional line flexibility with our bypass option. This option is available to accommodate processing of non-interleaved or non-stacked product and allows these products to be introduced to the packaging machine without having to take the interleaver or stacker out of the line.
All of our automatic pastry production machines are available as a combination interleaver and stacker or as standalone components designed to fit your puff pastry production line. The PPI-200 product line is a sanitary, washdown-duty, stainless steel system. The streamlined design of this pastry production machine incorporates leading-edge Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and servo motor technology, ensuring low maintenance and a long machine life. With compact designs available, the PPI-200 requires a minimal amount of floor space and is engineered to exceed the American Meat Industry’s 10 Principles of Sanitary Design.
The PPI-200 product line features rugged, stainless steel construction and climate-controlled (dehumidified), fully gasketed enclosures. Our PLC-based design enables easy production setup and changes, as well as networking with other equipment.
Sheeted or pressed dough discs are aligned, interleaved with film, counted and stacked. This is a fully automated solution for your puff pastry production line that requires no labor. Pacproinc® Interleavers and Stackers offer quick justification.
Our equipment designs and superior construction go beyond simply addressing the need for efficient operation—ease of sanitary maintenance is central to our solutions:
Pacproinc® equipment is built to accommodate your application, with standard operating widths ranging from 3-40”. These solutions can be configured for single lane, multiple lanes, or unique groupings.
Our patented jam detectors significantly reduce costly downtime, and the PPI-200 includes Allen Bradley controls and touch screens as standard equipment. All programming is done by our in-house automation engineers, and all Pacproinc® systems are supported by our 24/7 service team.
Don’t need interleaving? No problem. Pacproinc® offers a variety of modular counter/stackers to fit any application, and our custom designs easily interface with upstream production equipment and end-of-line packaging machinery.
High-speed, sanitary, hands-free counting/auto stacking guarantees better, more accurate stacks for easier packaging and improved product presentation from your puff pastry production line.
Counting and auto stacking reduces labor and training expenses, as well as the incidence of repetitive motion injuries. The PPI-200 increases line throughput while cutting operating costs and improving your product presentation and packaging.
Like all of our designs, our stand-alone counters/stackers feature rugged, stainless steel construction and climate-controlled, fully gasketed enclosures. Our PLC design enables easy production setup and changes to parameters like stack count, delay, speed, and portion thickness, and our solutions are easily networked with other equipment to seamlessly interface with production requirements like product changeover or stoppages.
Pacproinc® can configure your PPI-200 to accept product in single or multiple lanes. We can also singulate (combine multiple lanes into a single lane) finished stacks for delivery to the packaging machine, and all stackers can be fitted with our Remote Monitoring and Diagnostic System (RMDS).
Whether you are interleaving and stacking or just stacking, many of Pacproinc®’s auto stacking modules have the ability to load your counted and stacked product directly into the package. We have extensive and unique experience handling stacked food products, which allows us to introduce finished stacks directly into trays, cartons, or pockets.
