The range of cutters includes both single stage and twin rollers (one embossing and one cutting roller) used for cutting a laminated dough sheet. A lot of attention must be paid to the cutting sizes which must compensate the elasticity of the dough sheet, and its tension and shrinkage. They are made with non-toxic materials complying with food regulations and in particular they have a bronze body which can be or not teflonized and / or plastic material. Rotary cutters have a particular geometry on which we can recognize staggered or straight rows, pitch of engravings, distance to distance specially designed to exploit the surface of the roller as much as possible, but in respect of the distance to avoid sticking of the products to each other. Beside, special attention is paid to the scrap return which must be as less as possible, but strong enough to avoid breaking during process. The construction can be with interchangeable rings, or interchangeable cups, or solid construction, all customized solutions based on single needs. The rotary cutter is meant to be the heart of the process, while its cavity is meant to be the heart of the cutter. Very important topics are: radius, cutting height and release angle to have a perfect cut of the single pieces, a perfect definition of the embossing, but at the same time to avoid to have too much pressure which might generate a premature wear of the belt. Also the configuration of docker pins is important to avoid bubbles on the surface of the biscuit.
CONSTRUCTION
The construction can be at interchangeable rings or interchangeable cups (usually with some spare parts included) or solid construction: interchangeable rings/cups offer more flexibility: in case of accident you can easily replace the damaged piece with the spare one; in case of new product to be tested, the trials can be done directly in production for a 100% sure test in terms of release, weight, thickness, dimensions…
