What kind of machines needed to make bread?

The operating principle

Gentle dough handling when dividing and rounding is absolutely essential for the good quality of the final product. The Rex automat also makes possible the handling of very soft doughs. (e.g. dough for rolls, for Berliner, fruited doughs, Graham dough, short pastry, dough with a rye content of up to 40%).

The continuous operating principle of the Rex Automat is similar to that of a plate rounder. Continuous means that dividing, rounding and dough discharge follows step-by-step simultaneously.

Dough infeed

The feeding of the dough into the hopper occurs without preforming. KONIG MASCHINEN provide and extensive, customized dough hopper programme, starting from the standard shaft hopper with approx. 12 litre capacity up to a large dough hopper with 240 litre capacity.

¡@

Pre-portioning

The pre-portioning of the dough is controlled by a patented dough feeding system consisting of dough infeed start rollers, dough level sensor and hopper duster.

Dough dividing

Dividing according to the Rex-High-Soft-(HS)-system
The portioning of the dough pieces is carried out by the movement of the spring protected dough pusher against the piston cylinders in the dividing drum. The movement of the dough pusher and the rotation of the dividing drum with the cam controlled dividing pistons are synchronized.

¡@

Rounding

The rounding of the dough pieces occurs in the piston cylinders after the drum has rotated by means of a special rounding plate which is similar to that of a plate rounder.

Automatic rounding height adjustment
During the rounding process the rounding height is automatically adjusted. Selection of a new dough weight results automatically in the adjustment of the rounding height.

Rounding height fine adjustment
This additional equipment serves to adjust the rounding height to suit different dough consistencies and is only required when dough weights and consistencies vary greatly.

Baking Oven

WR Manual

With the WR Manual that can be achieved at your Bake-Off department too. This modern 5/6-level hot-air oven features the unique 4-fan system, which results in a perfect air distribution and which ensures you of an evenly baked product.

Separate workloads

The main Croma unit and the croissant curler can each be operated independently - another exclusive Rondo feature that increases versatility of production and helps minimize waste.

Speed control on output conveyor

Croissant output speed is adjustable to suit the workpace of the person taking the finished products off the output conveyor. The accuracy of control allows perfect production of minicroissants.

Direction of processing

A unique advantage of the Croma is manual control over the direction of the dough triangles on production start-up. Each row of triangles is therefore guided to the curling system in the right direction right from the beginning, cutting out dough wastage.

Controls are opsitioned conveniently together, and are easily understood.

Infinite controls

The curling mechanism can be adjusted for different product types, from loosely curled French croissants to tightly roled crescent-like shapes. Roller gap control on the Croma 4000 ensures exact dough thickness, for products of consistent weight at all times.

Elevated delivery conveyor

The conveyor can be positioned at the height best suited to the operator, to reduce fatigue and ensure comfort. The belt is ribbed so that croissants are always delivered safely whatever the angle. If required, the croissants can be delivered on to another conveyor system.

Ecostar

Ecostar.Pastry sheeting has never been easier. Manual control for small billets and for very special doughs. The reduction steps are selected in the most comfortable manner by turning a knob. Photo cells activate the automatic reversing of the conveyor. Work is faster than on a traditional sheeter. Fully automatic computer-control for operations performed repeatedly and for a precise and regular dough treatment. The symbols on the control panel are easily understood. Programming and operation become easy, even for first-time operators. Combine manual and computer controls. Use manual control to select the ideal reduction steps for your special doughs. The machine can memorize them and repeat the program whenever required.
