Benefits of Automating Pizza Topping and Decorating
Commercial pizza producers realize many benefits by automating their pizza topping or decorating process, including:
- Efficiency: automated pizza decorating solutions save time and increase production line efficiency
- Consistency: with the latest targeted topping solutions and digital solutions that utilize artificial intelligence to improve the process, achieving maximum product consistency in your pizza topping process has never been easier
- Cost Savings: reduce labor costs by automating repetitive topping processes as you scale bakery operations
- Variety: recipe-management software makes it simple to pre-program selections for a wide range of pizza products ensuring simple product changeover for your growing pizza portfolio
Without accuracy and calculated application, the topping portion of the pizza production process can be filled with time lost, product waste, and a diminished ROI.
Automated Pizza Productions Solutions
Many automated production solutions exist for commercial pizza producers looking to automate their decorating process, including:
- Conveyor-based Units: with simplicity and cost savings in mind, conveyor-based topping systems use one or more conveyor belts to transport pizzas under various topping dispenser units. They are best suited for high-volume pizza production.
- Tomato Sauce Enrober by AMF Tromp delivers even sauce distribution for any sauced-based baked pizza or flatbread across the entirety of the product base for optimal product quality.
- Waterfall Applicator by AMF Tromp strews a smooth bed of food particles, including cheese, vegetables, and proteins. It utilizes a conveyor-based recirculation system to reduce product waste and a dispersing rake to provide independent quantity adjustments per ingredient.
- Target Applicator by AMF Tromp offers a higher degree of accuracy with a specially designed manifold to strew materials more accurately across each product with adjustability for each topping.
- Dosing Units: improve accuracy in pizza topping using digital, computer-controlled dispensing to apply precise amounts of sauce, cheese, vegetables, or proteins onto your pizza base. These units are easily customized and suited for high-volume production.
- Powershot Depositor by AMF Tromp is engineered with no product, no deposit detection that improves depositing accuracy and individually controls sauce volume by each lane. In addition, center depositing control ensures sauce is always properly centered on the dough, up to 200 strokes per minute in each lane.
- Topping Applicator Units: provide accurate, targeted computer-based topping distribution. These units are ideal when the accuracy of decorating is of significant concern, as with higher-cost ingredients. If the sauce, cheese, and toppings are not added evenly, and at the right weight, waste and inconsistency in the product can quickly arise. Due to the high cost of ingredients, pizza equipment manufacturers like AMF Tromp are using advancements in artificial intelligence, connectivity, and data processing to make pizza production more autonomous.
- Smart Applicator Solution by AMF Tromp automates manual operator weighing checks during the pizza topping process to keep ingredient applications within specifications. The Smart Applicator visually inspects each product and ensures the right amount of topping is applied without operator handling.
