Pastry Shell

Meat and Fruit Pie Systems produce Double Crust Pies (top and bottom crusts) or High Rim (formed shell) pies.

At right: A large volume High Rim Pie Production System discharges pie shells to awaiting filling conveyors.

Crumb Shell

Cheesecake and Crumbshell Pie Systems produce pies with a bottom crust (or shell) made from crumbs (such as graham crackers). Systems can be designed to allow crust to rise on the side wall or rest flat in the package.

At right: An Intermittent Motion Crumb Shell System compresses Graham Cracker crumbs into shells for cheesecakes and cream pies.

Filling Systems

We have the machines that can fill the pie shell. Our Piston Fillers have always been the most accurate and reliable method to dispense almost any fluid or semi-liquid product. The Rotary Plate Filler can deposit shell crumbs, fruit, etc. Topping Units can distribute layers of nuts, shredded coconut, and so on.

At Right: Custom dispensing nozzles creates pie toppings that appear to be hand-piped by a master baker.

Systems Integration

Raque Food Systems can integrate third-party machines into production lines. For example, our Scale Interface System connects Selective Combination Weighing Machines to continuously running conveyors. We have successfully incorporated robots, cheese graters, multi-weigh fillers and many other machines to create complete production systems.

Material Handling Systems

Throughout the packaging process, our conveyor systems can gently handle the pies through the production process. Because they are made for your facility, they can take your product through whatever travel that you operation requires. Our machinery will work with upstream and downstream components to create the most efficient system for your facility.

All of our Pie Production Systems can include:

• Pie Pan Dispensers
• Quick Change Pan Carriers and Shell Forming Heads
• Cross Grain Dough Sheeters
• Crumb Dispensers
• Dockers
