Laminators are critical component of any hard dough or cracker biscuit line . Laminators are required to create dough laminates to be cut into sheets which are further reduced into leaner sheets in steps thus providing bite and texture to biscuits . Laminator's can be selected on basis of
Capacities - No of sheets per min or per hour
Dimensions - Length x width of dough sheet
Orientation - Vertical Or Horizontal
Vertical Laminator
Infeed of dough is on the top rollers placed horizontally with cutting of sheet done before small inclined conveyor on a small platform .
Horizontal Laminator
Height of the laminator is smaller than the vertical laminator with two sets of roller for lamination of dough sheet . Cutting of sheet is done on a reciprocating platform larger than the vertical laminator . Horizontal sheet larger area or space then vertical laminator .But if we consider maintenance of the laminator . Horizontal laminator are better option than the vertical laminator .Vertical laminator are installed where space is the contrain plus when dough feeding is done from different floors ie at certain height .
Smaller bakeries have Dough sheeter instead of laminators .
