configurations

Tailor-made design is key

Rademaker laminators are developed to produce a wide assortment of laminated dough for mid-sized to industrial
bakeries. each line is tailor-made using standard components. This flexibility allows for a wide variety of configurations,
from a block processor to a fully automated laminator, with working widths varying from 600 - 1.600 mm, and resulting
in the capacity you need. The laminators meet international hygienic standards and consist of up to four laminating
sections in different shapes (l-shape, u-shape, Z-shape etc.) a laminating belt can also be set up straight- in-line.
Thanks to this superb flexibility, the line can be optimally configured to meet your specific application, resulting
in the best possible production efficiency. When you choose Rademaker laminators, you choose the very best
solution for your situation, including the development of customer-specific modules, if so required.

our specialists will be happy to apply their knowledge and experience in helping you determine the solution that best suits you and your products.
 line control
Rademaker laminators are equipped with a Plc controller for a user-friendly
line control, featuring automatic speed and height adjustment. The integrated
control board comes standard with our laminator. The optional mobile remote
panel allows the operator to walk alongside the line and monitor the dough
production process, making it a time-saving and user-friendly operational tool.
The advanced control system enables the different sections to operate
independently. While the last dough is still being processed towards the end
of the line, the beginning of the line is ready for cleaning or for the production
of another product.

easy maintenance and little downtime

Rademaker laminators are equipped with direct drive motors. Greasing nipples and other parts that require
regular maintenance are located in easily accessible places outside the production zone. cleaning and
maintenance require less time and production can go on uninterrupted. all conveyor belts are equipped with
quick belt release mechanisms to reduce downtime during cleaning and to keep maintenance to a minimum.

Besides regular extruders we can also provide low-stress dough pre sheeters

2 Fat-pump: The Rademaker fat-pump turns butter, margarine or fat blocks into a continuous
fat sheet.

3 Laminating: Rademaker developed three different laminating methods that can laminate
the dough sheet up to 512 layers, depending on the line concept, dough type and capacities.

4 Cooling and/or resting: a cooling and/or resting cabinet can be placed inline at several
lamining sections to achieve the highest laminated dough quality.
The final product

The Baker’s secret

When fat is folded into the dough and layers are created, you get the light and crispy taste that croissants are
famous for and that earns pastries their reputation. The development of laminators is a core activity of Rademaker.
The experience and expertise gained throughout the years is what makes us the global market leader in laminating
processes. our know-how is put to use when we develop the production equipment that meet and exceed our
customers’ requirements worldwide. Whether it is a bended croissant, a swirl, maple pecan or any other pastry
you want to produce, we will apply our dough and laminating know-how to benefit you.

layering
Your product requirements and the desired manufacturing process determine which type of fat should be used:
butter, margarine, shortening, low-trans or non-trans margarine. To achieve the highest quality dough layers, it
may be necessary to cool and/or rest the dough sheets in a cooling and/or resting cabinet. Within the laminating
process, the layers of dough and fat are essential for the baking structure of the final product. in a co-development
relationship with you, we translate your requirements into a tailor-made laminating solution and thus offer a range
of croissant and Make-up lines to shape the dough in any product desired. The laminating technology (without fat
folding) can also be applied in the Rademaker Bread lines, Pizza Base lines and flatbread lines.
Three laminating methods
depending on your type of dough and capacities, Rademaker developed three different laminating methods.

turn-key solutions. The emphasis on solid and long-
standing partnerships with third-party suppliers exploits
our expertise to the fullest. This enables us to integrate
our production lines with equipment of expert third-party
suppliers to provide overall solutions that work for you.
