Bread-cutting machines: characteristics, prices

People who are not connected with public catering may find it amusing having a bread cutter in the list of professional equipment. However, bread-cutting machines are indispensable where one needs to cut a large amount of baking at a time. To such establishments it is possible to carry:

• Large dining rooms;
• Schools, kindergartens;
• Flour production, the assortment of which includes rug bread.

General Functionality

In principle, everything is clear from the title. Bread cutters exist to cut flour products of varying density into even slices. Most of the models presented in the modern market, also allows you to adjust the thickness of the cutting. There are different types of bread cutters according to the manufacturer, the principle of work and productivity.

Underwater rocks

It is very important with all responsibility to approach the choice of bread-cutting, as its appearance at the enterprise is caused by high workload. Having saved somewhere and buying equipment that does not suit you according to your characteristics, you risk getting a position in your kitchen that does not fulfill the task and only takes a place. So, for example, the Achilles' heel of all devices for cutting bread is an excessively wet and magnificent crumb of the product. The questionable quality of bread cutters for public catering will be tearing and crumbling bread, permanently stopping the work. Also, when choosing a product, you need to pay attention to the protective elements - the employee who follows the cutting will deal with the machine equipped with a set of knives. His work should be as safe as possible.

Bread cutters made in Russia

The following Russian producers offer the equipment for cutting bread:

1. Atesy. They offer the model "Janissar", made of stainless steel and painted metal. The characteristics are as follows: the thickness of the sliced slice varies from 0.5 to 2 cm; The maximum dimensions of bread: length - 38 cm, width - 16 cm. Knives for bread-cutting "Janissar" are made in the form of a sickle and have a special sharpening - this allows them to cut both fresh and daily bread. The only wish is that the density of the flour product should not be lower than the average. Productivity ranges from 100 to 300 loaves per hour and depends on the selected thickness of the slice.

2. Sverdlovsk Experimental Plant (SEMP). It offers its customers EVA and EVA Junior models. The first one is automatic - just put a product in it, and it will do everything for you. Movement is carried out with the help of conveyors. The thickness of the cutting varies from 1 to 2 cm, the productivity on average is 500 loaves per hour. The second model - EVA Junior - is positioned as manual. Its productivity is 2 times less, the thickness of the finished slices is the same. This also affects the costs: depending on the scale of the enterprise, the usual manual bread-cutting is purchased, the price of which is 4 times less than that of the automatic, and is about 150 thousand rubles.

3. "Machine tool builder". Model AHRM-300 is similar to Atesy bread-cutting, except that it is a little easier to assemble and quality of materials. The price for it is about 50 thousand rubles, which is about 15 thousand less than the cost of "Janissary".

It should be noted that Russian equipment for cutting bread is good, but designed for bread with dense crumb. Soft, airy rolls these industrial bread cutters will crumble.

Bread-cutting machines from European manufacturers

Of the equipment that Europe supplies, two firms are worth mentioning:

1. Lozamet (Poland). It offers its customers two desktop models of breadmaker - MKP11.6 and MKP13.6. The productivity of both an average of 150 loaves per hour, the thickness of the slice varies from 1.1 to 1.3 cm. The bread cutters are equipped with a built-in sharpening for knives, which provides the cutting elements with a constant sharpness. They perfectly cope with bread of any degree of softness, without disturbing the appearance of ready-made slices. The main difference between the models 11.6 and 13.6 is that the latter is equipped with a drawer for crumbs.

2. JAC (Belgium). One of the best bread-cuts presented in the market of modern technological equipment. The JAC brand specializes in the production of equipment for bakeries of varying scale - among its assortment there is both a bread cutter for the dining room and a bakery enterprise. Models, which we will point out, in addition to the ability without incident to cut bread of any density can also cope with hot fresh baking. All models are equipped with an automatic knife lubrication module, which is very important when it comes to sticky bread - for example, rye. Baker Jac Pico will cost 160 thousand rubles, it is able to cut 200 loaves per hour (given the fact that the loaf weighs 500 grams). This is a wonderful apparatus for dining in large points - for example, in factories or universities. Bread cutter JAC FACE + 450 M will cost already 500 thousand rubles, but at the same time the characteristics of it are appropriate - 720 loaves per hour.

Bread cutters for catering: China

With the current exchange rate it is difficult to name the choice of Chinese equipment "cheap, but angry," however, and he will have his fans. Of course, the option of production and subsequent baking is impossible, but for dining rooms that use dense bread, the description of the models can be useful:

1. Starfood. The most common Chinese brand on the Russian market of industrial equipment. Build quality and materials worthy. The popular model Starfood TR 350 will cost 55 thousand rubles. Cutting thickness - 1.2 cm, productivity - 120 loaves per hour.

2. HYRAKAN. This Chinese brand appeared on the market relatively recently, so its prices are more loyal to consumers: for the model HKN-PICO12 will have to give about 46 thousand rubles, and this at a productivity of 180 loaves per hour. The thickness of the slice does not vary - only 1.2 cm. As a bread cutter for the dining room - why not?

You have to think big! Lines for cutting bread

How to be those industries whose scale of output can not even be covered by JAC? The manufacturer of technological equipment "Voskhod" (Russia) took care of them, releasing the "Cayman" model on the market. It exists in two versions - for wheat and rye bread. Such a division is associated with the moisture content of the rye product, which was voiced above. If the "wheat" modification will have to pay 1.8 million rubles, then "rye" will cost 2.2 million. In other respects, these bread-cutters are similar in industrial production: their performance is outdoor, their productivity is 3000 loaves per hour, the thickness varies from 0.8 cm to 1.4 cm.
