A rotary moulder is a specialized machine used to form biscuit dough pieces from short dough with high accuracy and consistency.
The dough is pressed into mould cavities that represent the negative shape of the final product, including its pattern, name, and type.
Excess dough is removed by a scraper knife acting on the mould surface, ensuring uniform piece formation.
The formed dough pieces are then extracted and transferred onto a fabric conveyor, typically made of cotton canvas.
Any excess dough is automatically recycled back into the system for reuse, optimizing material efficiency.
The receiving conveyor operates at variable speed to ensure proper synchronization with downstream equipment.
The rotary moulder and the take-off conveyor are each driven by independent motors equipped with inverters, allowing precise speed control and process flexibility.
The system is managed through a centralized control panel housing the main circuit breaker, motor inverters, PLC, and terminal blocks.
An HMI is integrated into the panel, providing real-time monitoring, control, and visualization of the machine operation.
