How it works.
Tartomatic ensures precise portioning and gentle dough handling throughout the process. A dough billeting roller extruder provides accurate dosing, while the turntable supports smooth forming and foil placement.
A heated blocking die shapes uniform pie shells with consistent thickness. Optional modules, such as crumb extruders and depositors, can be integrated to expand product capabilities.
Flexibility & customization.
Tartomatic offers flexibility across formats, recipes, and production needs. It allows easy switching between sizes, shapes, and dough types, supporting a diverse product portfolio.
Its modular design enables tailored configurations and future upgrades, making it a scalable solution for growing operations.
Efficiency & ROI.
Tartomatic is designed to improve overall production efficiency by automating key process steps and reducing manual intervention. Its precise portioning system helps minimize raw material waste, while the continuous and optimized workflow supports stable and consistent output over time.
The combination of high productivity, reduced downtime thanks to quick changeovers, and simplified operation contributes to lower operating costs and improved line performance. These factors together support a faster return on investment and make Tartomatic a reliable solution for efficient, long-term production.

GEA Insights
Reality check for biotech
The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.
Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
