FoodTools depanning machines remove frozen cakes from bottomless pans. Instead of using a blowtorch to thaw and release frozen products from pans, the CD-9B uses a pan holder and pusher plate to quickly and safely remove frozen cakes from pans. For bottomless pans only, the pusher plate presses up under the base of the product, releasing the cake from the pan, and holding it aloft for the operator to retrieve and move to a tray or table for downstream packaging. Improve workplace safety and product quality by replacing blowtorches with automated cake depanners.
