Bakery Equipment, End to End
Consulting, custom machinery, controls, conveyors, installation and service. Ed has served as a strategic partner in building and running many plants, from acquisitions and board seats to planning and equipment decisions.
Consulting
Plant layout and expansions with proven results over the past forty plus years.
Designing the most efficient plant layout is critical, and so is specifying the right bakery equipment to fill it. Our work covers new plant acquisitions, plant analysis, equipment choices, employee evaluations, upgrade consulting, controls upgrades, and layout reviews and recommendations.
Our reputation for innovative machinery design and problem solving is without equal, and that knowledge has helped dozens of brand-name bakeries.
- Conveyor system evaluations
- Project management
- Project coordination
- Overall evaluation and recommendations
Scoring Machines
Ed Fraschetti developed the first rotary blade scoring systems in the USA and Europe in the early 1980s.
Some systems require turning and re-turning of pans or peels. To obtain the proper angle we can provide the conveyors and options such as proving pins.
Others use servo systems for more accurate adjustment, along with menu-driven recall so an operator can bring up settings for many different products without re-dialling the machine every changeover.
- Custom machines built to your pan and line speed
- Retrofits to existing scoring heads
- Pan lip machines
- Blades, hubs, hangers and bearings in stock
Control Panels and Programming
A well-designed and well-built machine is only half the battle.
It also requires a control centre programmed with precision. We build and program the panels that run the equipment, so the machine and its controls are designed together rather than bolted to each other at the end.
Conveyor Service
Basic parts and service, or a full redesign and retrofit.
Whether you need routine parts and service or help redesigning and retrofitting conveyors to better suit your application, we have the experience and the field knowledge to get your bakery running again at peak performance.
Custom Design & Engineering
Equipment designed and fabricated for a job no catalogue machine covers.
When the machine you need does not exist off the shelf, we design and build it. That has covered scoring machines, conveyorized storage and retrieval systems, dough handling, elevators and one-off solutions for problems specific to a single plant.
Design and fabrication happen under the same roof, so the person who engineered the machine is the person answering when you call about it.
Installation and Service
Installed, commissioned and supported, with your people trained on it.
We offer installation and spare part packages, plus training for your workforce on system operation, maintenance and safety for all of our equipment. These options get you started and keep the equipment running.
Need an Experienced Consultant?
Acquisitions, decisions, board seats, planning, questions, or just another person to bounce ideas off. Consulting is potentially available depending on the project.
Call and describe the project. If it is not something we should take on, we will say so rather than take the engagement.
