GS Italia’s range of semi-automatic and automatic sandwich lines are now available in Oceania through the company’s local sales agent HBM Packaging Technologies.
The two lane semi-automatic lines are suitable for small to medium production, with speeds of 700 square sandwiches per hour. An operator manually loads the slices of bread onto the production lines, which have automatic sauce fillers that ensure constant and even distribution of sauces such as mayonnaise, on both slices of the bread. Meat and cheese products are then manually applied by an operator. The machine presses the sandwich halves together and an optional electric saw knife cuts the sandwiches, ready for packaging.
GS Italia’s four lane automatic line is suitable for industrial production with speeds of 1500 square sandwiches per hour. The Automatic bread dispenser loads the bread onto the production line which is then filled by the automatic sauce filler. A second automatic fill station can load wet salad and vegetable items, with the exception of salad leaves. An operator is required to manually load the salad leaves, meats and cheese, and then the machine compacts and slices the sandwiches. The machine can rotate the sandwich to achieve a triangle cut, which can then be placed in a thermo-sealed pack designed to maximise the shelf life of the sandwich.
The machines can create stuffed, flat and ball shaped sandwiches and there are other options available on the machines such as automatic slicers that slice cold deli meats and cheese and packaging solutions, such as thermo-sealing machines.
