Fritsch, a Multivac company, revised its Impressa bread line with a 20% smaller footprint, a newly designed sheeting section and hygienic design. By combining the Soft Dough Sheeter (SDS) and the Soft Dough Roller (SDR), the homogenous sheeter reduces the amount of dough cut off the sides.

The Impressa bread line also offers Multivac’s Smart Services, which turns machine data into actionable production intelligence dashboards viewable from any location on any device. The reduced hopper height increases cleaning accessibility, and the hopper sensor monitors the fill level above the star rollers for greater precision.
