SPW - Single sheet kneader sheeter

Machine designed to receive dough and produce 7mm single sheet.

The SPW has a “double shoulder” structure on the sides. Both the inner shoulder, in contact with the product, and the outer shoulder are in stainless steel. The inner shoulder is free from mechanical parts as all bearings are mounted in the outer shoulder. This avoids any kind of contact between product and mechanical parts. 

The mixture receiving hopper can be tilted to give easy access to the rolls assembly for cleaning purposes. The hopper is made of stainless steel and has rounded corners to avoid residues accumulation. Dough is fed to the kneading rolls by a double rotating paddle shaft mounted on the shoulders and driven by the kneading rolls through a series of gears. The kneading unit is composed of three kneading rolls having a lobe profile, where the dough is compressed, and two smooth sheeting rolls which produce a sheet with a uniform thickness. All rolls are made of stainless steel. 

The kneading rolls and sheeting rolls are driven by the same motor. The SPW is completely free from pinions and chains. The Rolls scraper is in foodgrade plastic material.

The rolls protection shells are in stainless steel. They can be easily opened and are equipped with water-tight magnetic safety sensors. The machine features a polished inner face to avoid product stagnation.
