"A tradition of quality and excellence"

aque Food Systems has long served the frozen pizza market.   Machines built by Raque Food Systems are capable of handling every aspect of pizza production.   Ranging from individual, fresh, frozen, french bread, and bagel machines all the way up to complete turn-key pizza lines, Raque Food Systems can handle every stage of the process, including:
  • Receiving random pizza shells and orienting them.
  • Depositing sauces onto the traveling shells in either a border-free or waterfall application.
  • Depositing cheeses, meats, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and any other chopped or shredded product in either border-free or waterfall application.
  • Collating and positioning shells for delivery to third party machinery.

The best part of all, the line can perform the entire process at speeds of up to 200 shells per minute.

Topping Units
Topping Units deposit products that "top" a pizza shell in either a border-free or waterfall application.   The machines are designed to assemble and disassemble without the use of tools and the combination of stainless steel construction and USDA approved materials common to all Raque machines will withstand the harshest of sanitation requirements.   Excess product that misses the shells during production can even be reclaimed and recycled into the product hopper minimizing costs.   Typical products that run in the topping unit include:

  • Grated or Shredded Cheeses
  • Chopped or Sliced Peppers
  • Chopped or Sliced Mushrooms
  • Chopped or Sliced Onions
  • Chopped or Sliced Pepperoni
  • Ground or Crumbled Sausage
  • Ground or Crumbled Hamburger

Sauce Units
Raque Food System's Sauce Units are designed for continuous motion applications and are available in two styles: Border-Free and Waterfall.

A Border-Free Sauce Unit works in conjunction with a piston filler. The piston filler deposits a precise amount of sauce in the center of a pizza shell.   A sauce spreader is then used to spread sauce around the shell without interupting the flow of the line.   Using a variety of heads, borders (and even the shells themselves) can be rapidly changed over for increased production line flexibility.

The Waterfall Sauce Unit creates a pizza with sauce covering the entire face of the shell.   To completely cover the shell, each shell is conveyed under a solid layer of flowing sauce (waterfall).   Sauce that misses the shell is recirculated back into the product hopper when the sauce drops below the required levels.
