ZL-A28 Encrusting Machine
The ZL-A28 encrusting machine forms 15-350 g pieces with meat, jam, bean paste or vegetable filling. All four fillings share one hopper, so a change requires cleaning only and no new forming head. Round, long strip and flower shapes use changeable moulds. SUS304 parts, 2.5 kW, 220V or 380V.
Product Overview
The ZL-A28 encrusting machine is an automatic encrusting machine in the ZL-180 Series Machines category, built for bakeries and food factories that produce filled buns and pastries with a smooth outer surface. It forms pieces from 15 to 350 g depending on product size, runs on a 2.5 kW motor at 380V or 220V, and is constructed in SUS304 stainless steel.
That weight range covers breakfast buns, stuffed buns and similar filled pastry lines where one machine has to switch between sizes during a shift. The SUS304 frame and contact parts suit daily washdown, and the special encrusting technology keeps the filling centred so the surface stays closed after baking.
Key Features
- Weight range of 15-350 g per piece: one machine covers small breakfast buns through larger stuffed buns without a change of former.
- SUS304 stainless steel construction: contact surfaces resist daily cleaning and meet food-plant hygiene requirements.
- Special encrusting technology: filling stays enclosed inside the dough, so the baked surface comes out smooth rather than split.
- Handles meat fillings, jams, pastes and vegetables: a single unit runs savoury and sweet products on the same line.
- Produces round, long strip and flower bun shapes: shape changes come from the forming set, not from a second machine.
- Stable performance across a run: piece weight stays within the set range, which keeps baking times consistent.
- 2.5 kW drive at 380V/220V: matches common bakery power supplies in export markets.

Industrial Applications
- Encrusting machine for stuffed buns: bakery lines producing filled buns at 15-350 g per piece use the standard forming set to keep the filling enclosed and the surface smooth.
- Encrusting machine for breakfast buns: small-format buns in the lower part of the weight range run on the same unit, so a plant can supply both retail and foodservice sizes.
- Encrusting machine for meat fillings: savoury producers run minced meat fillings through the SUS304 hopper and forming head without changing the machine.
- Encrusting machine for jam pastries: sweet fillings such as jams and pastes are handled by the same encrusting head, letting one line cover both savoury and sweet products.
- Vegetable filling production: processors using vegetable and paste fillings rely on the special encrusting technology to keep moisture-heavy fillings inside the dough.
Key Advantages
- A 15-350 g weight range means a single ZL-A28 replaces several fixed-weight formers, cutting the capital cost of covering a full product line.
- SUS304 construction on a 210 kg frame keeps the machine stable during forming and simplifies washdown between filling changes.
- The special encrusting method holds the filling centred, so buns come out of the oven with an unbroken surface and fewer rejects.
- Running meat, jam, paste and vegetable fillings on one unit shortens changeover time when a bakery switches between savoury and sweet orders.
- At 2.5 kW on 380V/220V, the machine draws a modest load that most bakery electrical panels already support.
How to Choose the Right Configuration
| ZL-A28 with round forming set | bakeries making breakfast buns and round stuffed buns; the 15-350 g weight range decides the size. |
|---|---|
| ZL-A28 with long strip forming set | producers of elongated filled pastries who need a consistent strip shape. |
| ZL-A28 with flower bun forming set | retail-facing bakeries that want decorative filled buns for display. |
| ZL-A28 at 220V | plants without a 380V supply; confirm the voltage before ordering. |
| ZL-A28 at 380V | larger bakeries running the machine alongside other three-phase equipment. |
Why Choose Us
- We quote the encrusting machine price against your product weight and filling type, so the configuration matches the line before you commit.
- As an encrusting machine manufacturer we build the ZL-A28 in-house and can discuss forming sets and voltage before the order is placed.
- Spare parts and forming sets ship from the same factory that builds the machine, which shortens the wait when a set wears out.
- OEM support is available for buyers who need their own branding on the unit and documentation.
- Export paperwork and packing are handled by our team, so the encrusting machine supplier China order arrives ready for customs clearance.
Factory Strength
The ZL-A28 is assembled and tested in our own plant, with the frame, forming head and electrical panel built in-house. Each unit runs a forming test with dough and filling before packing, and the SUS304 surfaces are checked for finish and fit. Machines are exported to bakery and food-processing customers in overseas markets, and the same team that builds the unit handles spare parts and forming sets after delivery.
Quality Control
Checks follow the build from incoming stainless steel sheet to the final run test. Every ZL-A28 is assembled against the drawing, wired to the specified voltage, and run with dough and filling before it is packed.
- Incoming inspection of SUS304 sheet and purchased electrical components.
- In-process checks on frame dimensions, forming head alignment and panel wiring.
- Final run test with dough and filling to confirm piece weight and surface finish.
- Voltage and power check at 380V/220V before dispatch.
Packaging & Delivery
Each ZL-A28 is packed for export in a wooden case sized to the 1350 x 780 x 750 mm machine, with the forming sets and loose parts secured inside. The buyer confirms voltage and forming set at order, and shipping documents are prepared against the order.
- Wooden case packing suitable for sea freight.

FAQ
What is the weight range of the ZL-A28 encrusting machine?
It forms pieces from 15 to 350 g, depending on product size. Tell us the piece weight you need and we will confirm the forming set.
Which fillings can the automatic encrusting machine handle?
Meat fillings, jams, pastes and vegetables are all supported. Very wet or very chunky fillings should be discussed with us before ordering.
Can I get the encrusting machine specifications and a datasheet?
Yes. The specifications are listed on this page, and we can send the encrusting machine datasheet with dimensions, power and forming set details on request.
Can the ZL-A28 make stuffed buns and breakfast buns on the same line?
Yes. Both fall inside the 15-350 g range, so the same unit runs them with the appropriate forming set.
Does the machine handle jam pastries as well as meat fillings?
The same encrusting head runs jam and paste fillings as well as meat and vegetable fillings. Clean between filling types to avoid flavour carryover.
What is the encrusting machine price for one unit?
Price depends on the forming sets and voltage you specify. Send your product weight and filling type and we will quote.
What is your MOQ for a trial order?
MOQ depends on the configuration. A single unit can be arranged for a trial; confirm with our sales team when you enquire.
What are the payment terms and lead time?
Payment terms and lead time are confirmed at quotation, based on the configuration and destination port.
Do you offer OEM branding and a warranty?
OEM branding is available on the unit and documentation. Warranty terms are confirmed with the order.
