SPTW - Double sheet kneader sheeter
Machine designed to receive dough and produce 7mm single sheet.
The SPTW 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. Two kneading units, each composed of three rolls with a lobe profile, where the mixture is compressed.
Two calibrating units, each composed of two smooth sheeting rolls, which produce a sheet with a uniform thickness. The kneading rolls and sheeting rolls are installed on the same shoulders to obtain two dough sheets at the same time. All rolls are made of stainless steel. Kneading rolls and sheeting rolls are driven by the same motor. The machine is completely free from pinions and chains. Rolls scraper in foodgrade plastic material.
The rolls protection shells are in stainless steel. They can be easily opened and are equipped with watertight magnetic safety sensors. Polished inner face to avoid product stagnation.
The structure and the kinematics of the kneading rollers do not put stress on pasta, guaranteeing that the inlet and outlet temperature are the same.
