Continuous band blades slicer “entry level” for the bread loaves slicing medium speeds

Designed to be used in medium-capacity slicing applications, reaching a maximum production of 35/40 sliced loaves per minute (depending on the type of product to be cut and its dimensions). This version of slicer is made up of two balanced and rectified drums where the crossed blades slide, allowing the products to be cut into slices with a constant thickness and an excellent slicing result with a smooth and clean surface.

Maximum flexibility and versatility in its use, thanks to the possible adjustments and to the loading belt with a maximum width of 400mm which allows the slicing of the products with maximum dimensions of L:400xW:150xH:150 mm.

An innovative design, less angular in order to reduce the possible accumulation of crumbs inside the machine structure, also paying particular attention to the routine maintenance procedures required with ergonomic and practical solutions.

A model intended to satisfy the slicing requests for semi-industrial solutions, allowing to achieve higher productions than the traditional reciprocating blade slicers, but not yet at a purely industrial level, in compliance with the standards of reliability, cleaning and maintenance for easy use, but with maximum efficiency.

Cutter also available in a stainless-steel structure version and set-up for exit with conveyor belt or a fixed plan. For this version it is not possible to combine it in line with automatic cutting and packaging systems.

Bread loaf slicing and bagging lines have reached a new level of automation!

BREVETTI GASPARIN HAS DEVELOPED A COMPLETE SYSTEM FOR SLICING AND PACKAGING OF THE PRODUCTS IN PREFORMED BAGS DEDICATED FOR TIN BREAD/PAN BREAD AND FOR IRREGULAR BREAD LOAVES FREE BAKED AS WELL THANKS TO THE SPECIFIC OPTIONS AND APPLICATIONS DEVELOPED, CREATED TO ENSURE RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT SOLUTION WITH THESE LAST TYPE OF PRODUCTS.

Realized for the automation of the slicing and bagging, this type of high-performance lines allows the high-speed bagging of products after slicing automatically. The industrial slicers with continuous or reciprocating blades that are used according to the type of product to be cut, are predisposed for the in-line combination through specific automatic loaders with bagging machines, to provide an automatic, compact and high-performance solution for products slicing, bagging and closing of the bags. The head for the bags closure is installed in line, integrated in the same bagging machine, allowing the closure immediately after bagging, ensuring the position of the slices and immediate closure in line.

This type of lines can reach a production of 40 or 60 bags per minute depending on the configuration and the product to be processed.

Easy of handling of all different type of bread loaves: Tin bread, round and oval loaves with irregular shape.

Thanks to the equipment and predisposition of the various options for the handling of irregular bread loaves, it is possible to easily control their loading in the machine and keep the loaves compact during slicing and next loading on the packaging machine. The problem of the lateral ends that can misaligning after the cutting phase is thus solved by ensuring full efficiency to the slicing and packaging system.
Smooth, clean, high-speed slicing by industrial continuous blade slicers with pneumatic tensioning

Built to the highest production standards, sharp blades ensure durability and cutting precision. The pneumatic blades tensioning through a pneumatic piston increases their duration by acting as a spring and absorbing their stresses during the cutting phase. A precise and reliable blade guide system guarantees slice thickness and duration over time.
Cam-type operation makes bagging machines more versatile and reliable

A system of mechanical cams guides and synchronizes the various movements of the machine to ensure reliability and high performance. The automatic bags changing table holds up to three wickets at the same time and shortens bag change time to 5-7 seconds avoiding the extended stop in production often required for this operation. The pushing arm is equipped with suction to remove any air remaining inside the bag before closing.
Clipband or Kwik-lok closing in line for immediate closing after bagging!

A great advantage Brevetti Gasparin bagging machines offers is the Clipband or Kwik-lok closing head installed in-line into the bagging machine’s that permits bag closing immediately after bagging.
This specific position of the closing system immediately after bagging is fundamental in ensuring the position and stability of the product inside.

Industrial slicer for the full cut of the products at high speed

Designed to be used in automatic lines and systems, this type of slicer is composed of a cutting head equipped with a continuous band blade suitable for obtaining the horizontal Full cut on the product on single or several lanes for industrial capacity productions. Maximum flexibility and versatility in its use, the cutting head is fully adjustable and/or excludable where necessary for the passage of uncut products.

An innovative, angular design in stainless steel to reduce hygiene problems caused by contaminants and more resistant that offers a smooth and easy to clean surface.

A real revolution for this category of machines dedicated to industry in respect of the reliability, cleaning and maintenance standards for easy use, but with maximum efficiency.

Slicer available also in the version with more cutting heads in line for the multiple cutting on the product.
