The equipment in brief

Key advantages
The trimmings are not thrown away
The unused sheet is shredded and returned for reprocessing — over tonnes of dough that is direct profit.
The mixer discharges straight into the sheeter
The tipping IMP540-80R gives the dough to the sheeter with no manual transfer.
The filling keeps its structure
The PLA100 lobe pump feeds it continuously — pieces of meat or cheese are not ground down.
A 540 mm sheet
Twice as wide as the 250 series — output grows without increasing the cycle rate.
A defined 4800 × 2350 mm footprint
The dimensions are known in advance — the workshop layout will not have to be redone after delivery.
AISI 304 in contact with the product
Stainless steel and certified food-grade belts, CE compliant.
Who this equipment is for
The DN540 goes where dumplings are the main product rather than a side line:
- industrial semi-finished product plants
- frozen product factories
- operations of several tonnes per shift
- producers with their own brand
- workshops with shock freezing downstream
- export-oriented plants
How it works
- MixingThe IMP540-80R mixes the dough and tips it into the sheeter.
- SheetingThe CA540FA produces a 540 mm wide sheet.
- Dosing the fillingThe PLA100 lobe pump feeds it continuously.
- FormingThe DN540 forms the product with an interchangeable die.
- Scrap returnThe sheet trimmings are shredded and go back for reprocessing.
Purpose
An industrial line for producing single-sheet dough products — dumplings, ravioli, cappelletti and tortelloni — at industrial volumes. The dough is mixed in a tilting dough mixer and discharged directly into the sheeter, which produces a 540 mm sheet; the forming machine shapes the product with an interchangeable die while the filling is fed continuously by a lobe pump. Unused dough sheet is returned for reprocessing by the scrap return system.
Line composition

All parts in contact with dough and filling are made of AISI 304 stainless steel and other non-toxic materials suitable for the food industry. The equipment is designed and manufactured in line with current CE standards.
1. IMP540-80R dough mixer
A tilting dough mixer for preparing the dough and discharging it directly into the sheeter.
- Bowl entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, shaft with inclined profiled blades for even dough distribution in the bowl
- Discharge into the sheeter by tilting with vertical lift along two AISI 304 stainless steel rack-and-pinion guides
- Construction entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, components available on international markets
- Independent drive, control panel on the machine, safety devices
- Noise level at the operator's position LAeq = 68.0 dB (A)

Calculating the output. The forming machine is limited by the number of cycles per minute. The output is calculated as: cycles per minute × products per cycle × weight of one product × 60. On average the forming machine runs at about 90 cycles per minute (up to 110). The number of products per cycle is set by the die, so the actual output depends on the chosen shape and product weight. The figures given are indicative.
Product range and dies
DN series lines with interchangeable dies produce single-sheet dough products: dumplings, ravioli, cappelletti, tortelloni, pinzati and other shapes. One die is included with the forming machine and the shape is chosen by the customer; additional dies, including custom shapes, are made to order. The full AL.MA. shape catalogue is included in the PDF datasheet.
Weight, dimensions and output are indicative and may vary depending on the dough sheet thickness and the dough-to-filling ratio.
