Within this macro-category we can mention Milano type panettone, Verona type Panettone, Pandoro and other sweet yeast cakes. Furthermore, ITECA designs lines for the production of panettoni both tall and short, iced or natural.

Traditional Italian baked goods production lines are all fully automatic and their unique feature is to use free molds, namely not fixed to any framework as baking trays.

Depending on the client demands, ITECA designs industrial lines for a single traditional Italian dessert or for more types with the same production line.

ITECA plants for traditional Italian baked goods include the yeast room, essential phase for starter production and preservation, central and distinctive element of this product typology.

Before reaching the consumer table, these products have a long way to go: the magic begins with starter preparation to be used in dough formation. Depending on the wished type of Panettone, there could be one or two dough preparation rooms. Once dough preparation and fermentation into the proofing chamber are over, the product is divided according to desired weight and gets rolled-up. Then it is automatically placed inside molds (for Pandoro and other cakes) or paper case (in the case of Panettone) and conveyed to final proofer. Only after a slow proofing, the product is conveyed to the baking oven, before passing through a workbench where scoring or icing is performed. Once baked, Panettoni are cooled through the seasoning chamber (with needles swinging trays), whereas cakes and Pandoro enter a vacuum tunnel. Traditional Italian desserts are finally filled, decorated or enrobed and conveyed to packaging.

Type of line

Linked

  • Mathematical synchronism among two or more manufacturing phases.
  • Chain transmission system linking different units.
  • Greater precision of some production phases.
  • System particularly suitable for lines with high production output and very short cycle/machine times.
  • Easier line management.
  • Lower risk of operator error.
  • System suitable for single-product line and multi-product, but with greater times for sizes changeover.
capacity
1.000 - 6.000 PZ/H

Type of line

Free product

  • No chain transmission system linking different units.
  • Higher risk of operator error.
  • Greater operational flexibility of the line, enabling different sizes production with faster production changeovers.
capacity
1.000 - 6.000 PZ/H

Type of line

On baking trays

  • Suitable for products needing particular support and/or baking surfaces.
  • Line requires pre-arranged phase for washing and drying the baking trays.
  • Minor output per hour compared to free product system.
  • Higher energetic waste, due to the need of heating the baking trays during baking and then of cooling them before conveyed back into the circuit.
capacity
1.000 - 6.000 PZ/H
