Much more than a pretzel machine

MULTITWIST

The multi-talent for products using dough cords. Ideal for the safe automated production of pretzels, ring-shaped products, one cord plaits, knots and many more. Designed for a high hourly output.

High capacity, high stroke-rate, top-quality products at a minimum noise level - these are just a few of the advantages of the MULTITWIST. Modern technology combined with many years of experience make it the ideal machine for twisted products and this concept has already won several awards.

Thanks to a variety of tools, the MULTITWIST is much more than a pretzel machine. It can produce many other twisted products such as plaits, knots, rings, sticks, loops and flat bread in different sizes and from different dough types. The tools can be simply and quickly changed without the need for additional assembly tools.

A single MULTITWIST can produce 2,000 pretzels per hour effortlessly. For industrial pretzel production up to 10 modules can be set up in parallel thus increasing the output to up to 20,000 pretzels per hour.

  • Huge product variety due to its large number of tools
  • Easy and quick product changeover without assembly tools
  • Reliable and reproducible process
  • High capacity of up to 2,000 pretzels per hour (per twisting unit)



Our product variety





"Innovative and versatile: The MULTITWIST offers more than just high performance; it provides a wide range of production possibilities. From pretzels to braids to rings - its flexibility and efficiency have already been honoured with several awards."


Maximilian Straub | Project Engineer



The MULTITIWST in detail

The dough piece from the dough divider and the intermediate proofing room is first flattened by the flattening unit and then transported to the pretzel strand machine. The coiled dough strand is then shaped in two stages using a counter-rotating shaping board and rolled out into a long strand. Various shapes are possible during this process, ranging from cylindrical to conical to bulbous. Guide plates are located at the transfer points to ensure that the dough strand always enters the shaping plates straight.

To sort out or align dough strands that are either not the correct length or not centered on the conveyor belt, the pretzel strand machine can optionally be equipped with a centering and ejecting system (Center Device). For this purpose, the dough strands are visually detected by a camera, and the shape and length of the strand are checked. If the parameters do not match the preset values, the dough strand is either sorted out due to incorrect length or centered on the conveyor belt if it is not symmetrically positioned.

  • Precise strand production in various shapes
  • High process reliability through centering and ejection system

The FRITSCH MULTITWIST is a true all-rounder when it comes to the fully automated production of twisted products. The machine can twist more than just pretzels into all shapes and sizes. The MULTITWIST also twists bread sticks, rings, and labor-intensive products such as single strand plaits and knots with ease.

One twisting unit achieves an output of up to 2,000 pieces per hour in pretzel and ring production. Up to 1,500 pieces per hour are accomplished when twisting knots and single-strand braids.

The tools are monitored via RFID modules to prevent operating errors from occurring and to guarantee process reliability. In addition, a tool change, i.e. a change of twisting table and twisting head, is possible within a few minutes without the need for special tools.

  • High capacity
  • Process-reliable twisting of different products
  • Monitoring to avoid incorrect applications

The baking trays supplied by the infeed conveyor of the baking tray conveyor are loaded with products via a depositing process. The trays that are fully loaded with products are transferred by the baking tray transfer unit to the outfeed conveyor of the baking tray conveyor. The outfeed conveyor is positioned beneath the infeed conveyor, allowing the loading of empty trays and the removal of fully loaded trays without changing location. Another advantage of this compact design is the reduced space requirement for the baking tray conveyor.

  • Compact design
  • Operation from one side possible
