ZL-A20 Automatic Paper Feeding Machine
The ZL-A20 paper feeder places silicone paper under 15-180 g pieces at 1,000-4,800 pcs/h, for baozi, steamed bread, pastry and filled buns. Paper length and width are set on the servo control, and position is held by sensor. 2.5 kW, 380V or 220V, 1350 x 600 x 990 mm, 220 kg, SUS304.
Product Overview
The ZL-A20 automatic paper feeding machine is a servo-controlled unit in the ZL-180 Series Machines category that places silicone paper under baozi, steamed bread, pastries, bean bao and filled steamed buns before packing. It handles products from 15 g to 180 g at 1000–4800 pieces per hour depending on product size, and the SUS304 frame runs on 380V/220V at 2.5 kW.
Manual paper placing is the bottleneck on most bun and pastry lines. One operator per shift does nothing but lift paper and align it under each piece, and the alignment drifts as the shift goes on. The ZL-A20 takes that station out of the line: paper is fed from below the product and positioned by sensor, so the pad sits square under every piece at line speed.
Key Features
- Servo intelligent control: paper length and width are set from the control, so a changeover to a different product size does not need mechanical adjustment.
- Sensor-based paper positioning: each sheet is placed under the product without manual alignment, which removes the misaligned pads that jam downstream packing.
- Capacity of 1000–4800 pcs/h: output scales with product size, so the same unit covers small baozi and larger steamed bread.
- Weight range of 15–180 g per piece: one machine handles the small and large items on a mixed bakery line.
- Paper fed from under the product: the sheet is presented at the point of placement, so the operator no longer lifts and aligns paper by hand.
- SUS304 stainless steel build: the frame and product-contact surfaces suit a wet, floury bakery environment and wipe down without rust.
- Adjustable paper pad length and width: the pad can be matched to the footprint of each product instead of running one sheet size across the range.

Industrial Applications
- Paper feeding machine for bakery: bakery lines running baozi, steamed bread and pastry place a paper pad under every piece before it reaches the tray or bag; the ZL-A20 feeds and positions the sheet at 1000–4800 pcs/h so the packing station keeps pace with the line.
- Automatic paper feeding machine for baozi production: baozi plants handling pieces from 15 g to 180 g use the adjustable pad size to match each product, and the sensor placement keeps the paper square under the bun before freezing or steaming.
- Paper feeding machine for steamed bread lines: steamed bread is soft and picks up marks from handling; feeding the silicone paper from below the product means the piece is not lifted and turned to fit the pad.
- Baking paper dispenser for pastry lines: pastry and bean bao producers running several product sizes on one line set the pad length and width at the control instead of changing a mechanical die.
- Baking paper dispenser for filled bun production: filled steamed buns need the paper centred so filling does not sit on the tray surface; sensor positioning holds that alignment through the shift.
Key Advantages
- The servo control sets pad size from the panel, so a product changeover costs a setting change rather than a mechanical swap, and the line is back in production in minutes.
- Sensor positioning replaces the operator’s eye and hand: pads land in the same place all shift, which cuts the rework caused by misaligned paper reaching the packing station.
- At 1000–4800 pcs/h the unit covers both small baozi and larger steamed bread, so a plant with a mixed product range does not need a second machine for the bigger items.
- Feeding paper from under the product means the piece is not lifted to fit the pad, which matters for soft steamed bread that marks easily.
- SUS304 construction holds up to flour dust and washdown in a bakery, so the frame does not become a maintenance item.

How to Choose the Right Configuration
| ZL-A20 for a single-product bun or pastry line | the standard configuration suits a line running one product size, where the pad is set once and left alone. |
|---|---|
| ZL-A20 for a mixed-size line | choose it where baozi and steamed bread from 15 g to 180 g run on the same line; the adjustable pad length and width is the parameter that decides it. |
| ZL-A20 on 220V plant supply | specify 220V at order instead of 380V so the machine matches the existing supply. |
| ZL-A20 as a replacement for a manual paper station | suits plants where one operator currently places paper by hand and the packing station is the bottleneck. |
| ZL-A20 with a spare wear-part set | for plants running two or three shifts where a stopped machine costs a shift’s output. |
Why Choose Us
We quote the ZL-A20 configuration that fits your product sizes and plant voltage, and we put the automatic paper feeding machine price against that configuration rather than a bare headline figure. We build to the specification agreed at order, and we can quote OEM and ODM work where the line layout or branding needs it. Spare parts are supplied against the model and serial of your unit, so a wear part is identified correctly the first time. For buyers comparing suppliers, we will confirm the automatic paper feeding machine supplier China terms, lead time and packing before you commit.
Factory Strength
The ZL-A20 is assembled and tested in-house: frame fabrication in SUS304, electrical panel build, servo and sensor integration, and a run test on the finished unit before packing. Each machine is checked for paper feed, sensor positioning and pad size adjustment at the stated capacity range, and the test record travels with the unit. Our plant covers [floor area] m² with [number] production staff across [number] assembly lines, and we have been building food machinery for [number] years. Machines are exported to overseas bakery and frozen-food plants, and we work to the voltage and line layout the buyer specifies at order.

Quality Control
Incoming SUS304 sheet and purchased components are checked against the order specification before fabrication. In-process checks cover frame dimensions, electrical wiring and sensor mounting; the finished machine runs a paper-feed test across the pad size range before it is passed. Each unit is weighed and measured against the stated 220 kg and 1350×600×990 mm, and the test record is kept against the serial number.
- Incoming material check on stainless sheet and bought-in electrical parts
- In-process checks on frame dimensions, wiring and sensor mounting
- Final run test of paper feed and pad size adjustment before packing
- Unit weight and dimension check against the specification, recorded by serial number

FAQ
How does the ZL-A20 place the paper under the product?
Silicone paper is supplied from under the product and a sensor positions each sheet, so the pad lands in the same place without an operator aligning it by hand.
What product sizes can the machine handle?
The stated range is 15–180 g per piece, and the paper pad length and width are adjustable to match the product footprint.
What capacity can I expect on my line?
Capacity is 1000–4800 pcs/h depending on product size. Smaller pieces run toward the higher end of that range; confirm the figure for your product with us at quotation.
Can the ZL-A20 run on a 220V supply?
Yes. The machine is specified for 380V/220V, and the voltage is fixed at order to match your plant supply.
Can it handle baozi, steamed bread and filled buns on the same line?
Yes, within the 15–180 g range. The pad length and width are set at the control, so switching between product sizes is a setting change rather than a mechanical swap.
What paper does the machine use?
The machine is built for silicone paper. The supply format is confirmed with the order so the paper you buy fits the feed.
What is the automatic paper feeding machine price for the ZL-A20?
Price depends on the configuration, voltage and any spare parts in the order. Send your product sizes and line layout and we will quote against that.
What is your MOQ and lead time for a trial order?
MOQ and lead time are quoted per order because both depend on the configuration and the destination. A single unit for trial is discussed at quotation.
Can you supply the automatic paper feeding machine datasheet and specifications before I order?
Yes. The automatic paper feeding machine specifications on this page cover the standard unit, and we will send the automatic paper feeding machine datasheet with the quotation. If you need a parameter that is not listed, tell us and we will confirm it.
