Multi-head Pastry Pancake Forming Line
The multi-head pastry forming line runs 20,000-60,000 pcs/h at 1.5-2.0 t/h, shaping croissants and Danish from 30-350 g pieces on a 680-1280 mm working width. Forming is by dough belt and encrusting cutter, with proofing, oven and cooling as options. 65 kW, 380V or 220V, 304 stainless steel.
Product Overview
The multi head pastry forming line is a full automatic pastry production line in the Bread & Pastry Lines category. It combines dough sheeting and forming with a multi-head depositor, and it is built for large industrial food factories that need a consistent pastry shape at volume. The line runs 20,000–60,000 pieces per hour, is constructed in 304 stainless steel, and takes 380V/220V power at 65KW.
Shape consistency comes from dough belt forming and an encrusting cutter, not from hand work. Product size runs 25mm–120mm and product weight 30–350g, both set to the order. The line can be connected to a proofing machine, and an oven and cooling section can be added, so a bakery can move from mixed dough to packed pastry on one continuous flow.
Key Features
- Multi-head depositor: deposits product after product on a continuous line, so output does not stop between cycles.
- Dough belt forming system: low-stress processing keeps the dough belt structure intact and the dough softer.
- Encrusting cutter: fixes the pastry shape, which is how the line holds a consistent profile across a long run.
- Capacity range of 20,000–60,000 pcs/h: one line covers trial volumes and full industrial output.
- 304 stainless steel construction: the food-contact surfaces and frame are built for washdown and long service.
- Dough resting and cooling tunnel: relaxes the belt to each customer’s process, with an anti-condensation device so the dough does not dry or crack.
- Fat pump and satellite rolling tower: lays a uniform grease band of set width and thickness, with no fat accumulation.
- Tray arrangement device: places products according to your tray size, and can place products across trays.

Industrial Applications
- Pastry forming machine for croissant production: industrial bakeries running laminated dough at volume use the dough belt forming and encrusting cutter to keep croissant shape consistent across 20,000–60,000 pcs/h. The problem it solves is shape drift between shifts: the cutter geometry, not the operator, sets the profile.
- Multi head depositor for Danish pastry: the asymmetric folding system handles soft Danish dough, and the low-temperature relaxation tunnel keeps the belt from drying or cracking before depositing. Without the relaxation stage, soft dough tears at the depositor and the fold line opens during baking.
- Pastry forming machine for industrial bakery: large food factories connect the line to a proofing machine and add oven and cooling for a continuous process from mixed dough to packed product. The line runs at 1.5t–2.0t/h equipment capacity with a 680–1280mm working width, so throughput is set by the forming section rather than by manual transfer between stations.
- Pancake forming machine for laminated dough: the fat pump lays a uniform grease band and the satellite rolling tower rolls it in, giving repeatable lamination for pancake and pastry products. Uniform fat distribution is what prevents layer merging and uneven lift in the baked product.
- Pastry forming machine for filled and rolled products: the separator belt cuts the sheet into narrow belts for filling, and the rolling-to-cylinder mechanism forms ramen bags, chocolate bags and filled rolls. Cutting and rolling happen in one pass, so filling weight stays consistent across the run.
- Laboratory and pilot-plant trials: R&D teams testing a new laminated dough or filling recipe run small batches on the same forming head geometry used in production, so a formula proven on the pilot unit transfers to the full line without re-tuning the cutter or folding system.
- Flour and ingredient suppliers: technical service staff forming sample sheets from customer flour lots check dough extensibility and lamination behaviour on the line before recommending a flour grade to a bakery. The test shows how a specific lot behaves at production working width, not just in a lab mixer.

Key Advantages
- Shape consistency is mechanical, not operator-dependent: dough belt forming plus the encrusting cutter holds the pastry profile across a full shift. A 20,000–60,000 pcs/h line depends on that repeatability.
- The low-stress dough handling protects the belt structure, so laminated products keep their layers and the finished pastry stays softer after baking.
- A 1.5t–2.0t/h equipment capacity matches the line to industrial output, and the 680–1280mm working width lets you size it to your actual volume instead of overbuying.
- One supplier covers forming, proofing, oven and cooling, so the interfaces between sections are settled before the line ships.
- The 304 stainless steel build and continuous dough sheet production reduce stoppages for cleaning and belt damage over years of running.
How to Choose the Right Configuration
| Standard forming line with multi-head depositor | factories that already have proofing, baking and cooling and need the forming stage at 20,000–60,000 pcs/h. |
|---|---|
| Line with proofing machine connection | bakeries that want the dough to move from forming to proofing without manual transfer. |
| Line with oven and cooling | new plants or expansions that want a turn-key process from mixed dough to cooled pastry. |
| 680–1280mm working width | choose the lower end for a single-product line, the upper end when capacity targets approach 60,000 pcs/h. |
| Asymmetric folding | soft doughs such as Danish pastry, where gentle lamination matters more than layer count. |
| Cutting and stacking | soft doughs and biscuit doughs that need even or uneven layers with a working width from 600 to 1200mm. |
