What this section covers
A pancake, a filled crêpe, a spring roll and a snack roll look like different products but are made by one technology: batter is poured onto a heated surface, sets into a thin sheet, and the sheet is filled and then rolled or folded. The difference lies in what that heated surface is.
A tilting plate gives a single round pancake of the required diameter — from 17.5 to 40 cm. A rotating disc of Ø2 or Ø3 metres gives the same round products but several rows at a time, so the output is counted in thousands of pieces an hour. A baking cylinder delivers a continuous strip of dough which is then cut — and that is how elongated products come about: spring rolls, samsa, snack crêpes with jam.
The fourth group is auxiliary equipment. Batter preparation and feeding, a folding and rolling conveyor and an automatic system for cleaning carbon off the discs. These units are supplied separately or as part of a complete line.

Comparison of the items in this section
The items solve different tasks, so comparing them for "which is better" makes no sense. This table answers a different question — which of them is yours:
| Item | What it does | Key parameters | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tilting plates 1C | bakes thin round products on one side | Ø17.5–40 cm · 7 models | crêpes, spring roll sheets |
| Tilting plates 2C | bakes on both sides | Ø17.5–40 cm · plates + cylinder | products needing both sides browned |
| Line 2M | bakes round pancakes in several rows | 2 discs Ø2 m · up to 3,410 pcs/h | pancakes Ø200 mm and Ø80 mm |
| Line 3M | the same in five rows | 2 discs Ø3 m · ≈11,842 pcs/h | large volumes of round pancakes |
| Pancakes — five folds | fills and folds into an envelope | ≈4,800 pcs/h | filled pancakes with meat or curd |
| Snack crêpes | fills and rolls into a tube | ≈3,600 pcs/h · jam or chocolate | a snack format for the shelf |
| BALPE spring rolls | folds and rolls automatically | 1,500–3,000 pcs/h | serial output of spring rolls |
| Samsa and spring rolls | bakes the sheet, operators shape | 1 or 2 rows | a wide range, smaller volumes |
| Batter system | mixes, holds and feeds the batter | for 1–2 lines | any line in this section |
| Folding conveyor | folds into an envelope or rolls | two rows, three sections | completing an existing line |
| Disc cleaning | removes carbon from the disc | Ø2 and Ø3 m · brushes with a vacuum | lines on baking discs |
The parameters are taken from the manufacturers’ technical catalogues. The exact configuration and output are selected for the customer’s product.

How we select the equipment
- The taskYou describe the product, the volume per shift and the space in the workshop. If the product does not exist yet, we discuss what it should be.
- CalculationAn engineer works out the output, chooses the units and the interchangeable tooling and checks the dimensions against the manufacturer's drawings.
- The offerYou receive the composition of the set, the specifications, the lead time and the price. If needed, several options for different budgets.
- ImplementationSupply, installation, commissioning on your own product, staff training — and service afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
How do tilting plates differ from a baking disc?
A plate bakes one product per cycle and gives an exact diameter — from 17.5 to 40 cm. A disc rotates continuously and bakes several rows at a time, so the count runs into thousands of pieces an hour. Plates are chosen for a discrete product and a wide range of diameters, a disc for the serial output of one format.
What does a baking cylinder give that discs do not?
A cylinder delivers not separate pancakes but a continuous strip of dough. It is cut into rectangles, filled and rolled up — and that is how elongated products come about: spring rolls, samsa, snack rolls. A round pancake cannot be made on a cylinder, just as a spring roll cannot be made on a disc.
An automatic line or a semi-automatic one?
A semi-automatic bakes the sheet and the operators shape the products by hand. That costs less to start with, gives more freedom in the range and is justified at smaller volumes. An automatic line shapes the product itself — it is needed when the product is one and there has to be a lot of it, and manual work becomes the bottleneck.
Can different products be made on one line?
Within its own group, yes. On tilting plates the diameter changes by setting, on discs by setting the depositors, on a cylinder by the cutting length and the type of folding. Moving from a round pancake to a spring roll on the same equipment will not work: those are different baking elements.
Is a separate batter preparation system necessary?
Not necessarily, but it removes manual topping up from the process. The BALPE system mixes the batter, holds it with stirring and feeds it to the disc or cylinder automatically — one system can feed two lines.
Why a separate disc cleaning system?
Carbon on the baking disc changes the heat transfer and the pancakes start to burn unevenly. Cleaning a Ø3 metre disc by hand means a stoppage and dirty work. A brush system with a vacuum unit removes the carbon without contaminating the workshop.
Not sure where to start?
Describe the task and our engineer will propose a solution and prepare a quotation. We need to know:
- which product you make — pancake, filled crêpe, spring roll, snack roll;
- the diameter or size of the product;
- how many pieces per hour;
- whether filling and folding are needed or only baking.
If you do not have all the answers yet, send what you have. We will work out the rest in conversation.
