Product Description

Efficient, Flexible Production

Designed for efficient operation, the Oddy bread roll plant can be managed by a single operator, with bulk dough supplied directly from the mixer operator. This helps minimise manual handling while maintaining a smooth, continuous production process.

An optional electronic programmable control system provides further flexibility and repeatability. Production programmes can be stored and recalled at the touch of a button, controlling key settings including:

• Production speed
• Dough piece weight
• Moulding configuration
• Batching configuration
• Automatic panning

This enables operators to quickly switch between products and consistently reproduce established production settings.

Configured Around Your Bakery

Oddy roll plants can be supplied with a range of additional equipment and options to create a complete production solution tailored to your process.

Available configurations can include:

• Intermediate proofing
• Single- or multi-head seeding systems
• Indexing cross conveyors
• Automatic bread panning
• Interchangeable plunger blocks
• Lane blanking systems
• Programmable electronic controls
• Optional cross conveyor systems for automated tray handling
• Optional plait machine for creating distinctive plaited finishes

From traditional bread rolls and morning goods to speciality products, the Oddy system provides the flexibility to adapt production as your product range and output requirements evolve.

Optional Cross Conveyor

Automated Tray Handling for Efficient Production

The Oddy Cross Conveyor can be supplied as an optional addition to the bread roll line, providing automated handling of baking trays around the panning process.

The system accurately feeds and positions empty baking trays beneath the panner ready for product loading. Once the tray has been loaded, the cross conveyor automatically transfers it out of the panning area, providing a continuous and efficient flow of trays through the production process.

Each Cross Conveyor can be custom designed to suit individual bakery requirements, including tray dimensions, line configuration and available production space. The system can also be integrated into an existing customer-supplied tray feed system where required, creating a fully automatic tray handling and panning solution.

Accurate tray positioning beneath the panner supports consistent product placement and repeatable production. For optimum performance, baking trays should be flat and free from distortion, as tray condition can affect handling, positioning and product placement accuracy.

Cross Conveyor Benefits

• Automatic tray feeding and positioning
• Automatic removal of loaded trays
• Designed to integrate with Oddy panning equipment
• Can be incorporated into existing tray feed systems
• Custom-built to suit individual customer requirements
• Helps reduce manual tray handling
• Supports continuous, efficient bakery production

Optional Plait Machine

Add Value to Existing Bakery Products

The Oddy Plait Machine can be integrated with the bread roll line as an optional finishing solution, providing an efficient way to add visual appeal and value to existing dough products without the need for new recipes or significant additional labour.

The machine creates a distinctive plaited pattern on an existing dough piece, giving the finished product the appearance of a hand-made three-rope plait while maintaining the efficiency and consistency of automated production.

Suitable for a wide range of bakery products, the Oddy Plait Machine offers continuous production, consistent results and straightforward operation.

Flexible Product Handling

The Oddy Plait Machine can handle a broad range of dough shapes and sizes, from approximately 25g to 400g.

Suitable products include:

• Round dough balls
• Pinned products
• Finger rolls
• Subs
• Baguettes
• Baps

The machine is particularly well suited to products intended for sandwich applications, where an attractive and distinctive finish can add value to the finished product.

Available Configurations

The Oddy Plait Machine is available in:

• Single-row
• 2-row
• 3-row
• 4-row

The single-row machine can be hand fed or integrated with a roll plant. The 2-, 3- and 4-row configurations are typically supplied from a panner or finishing table for continuous automated production.

Three interchangeable plait pattern-forming wheels are available, allowing different finishes to be produced:

• Small
• Medium
• Large

A plain roller is also available for applications where a plaited pattern is not required. This configuration can be used to produce an elongated pinned finger roll, commonly known as a fish bap.

Consistent, Continuous Production

The Oddy Plait Machine is designed for continuous operation, providing a consistent finish across the production run. Adjustable centralising guides help accurately position products before they pass through the forming section.

The straightforward design makes the machine simple to operate and maintain, while its compact and mobile construction allows it to be easily incorporated into different bakery production environments.
