Packaging lines for lasagna, cannelloni, and parmigiana

Fabbri Group provides customized lines for the packaging of lasagna, cannelloni, and parmigiana using tray-sealing only or in modified atmosphere.

To complete the packaging system, we are also able to supply the classic end-of-line components, such as weigh-pricing machines, labelling machines, etc.

The line can handle trays and trays in all the most up-to-date ecological packaging materials and can easily adapt to trays and trays of different shapes. The long feed section allows the installation of feeders dedicated to a single ingredient at a time.

Specifically, the line for packaging lasagna and cannelloni is extremely flexible and can package the product with different ingredients in a tray.
This type of line can handle fresh, dry, or frozen sheets in single or double lane and generally performs the following operations automatically:

• In-line tray destacking

• On-top dosing of: béchamel and tomato, grated cheeses, soft cheeses (such as mozzarella), vegetables or toppings

• Packaging with closure from a die-cut reel

The various dosers installed on the line are capable of handling solid foods (tomatoes, grated cheese) and liquids (sauces, béchamel) and are specially sized to avoid so-called “bottlenecks” when dosing a particular element.

Automatic systems are also used for loading the sheet of pasta or for forming cannelloni. The same line can also be converted to the use of aluminium trays with crimped lids, ideal for frozen lasagne or cannelloni to be placed directly in the oven. In this case, instead of a heat sealer we will find a preformed lid applicator and a seamer.

The advantage of an automatic line is that it makes it possible to optimize the number of dedicated operators, whereas a production line consisting of the heat sealer alone would necessarily use more people per shift to achieve the same productivity. To complete the offer, Gruppo Fabbri also provides barrier films for tray-sealing or MAP packaging, assistance during the installation phase, both ordinary and extraordinary maintenance service and spare parts.
