We are a world leading British manufacturer of high quality bakery equipment, from slicers, baggers, crouton dicers and dividers through to specialist bespoke equipment and full tortilla and bun lines.
The height of the cutting blades can be easily adjusted to accommodate a range of different loaf sizes on a single production line up to 560mm wide.
Although designed for a production line, the B51X can also be hand-fed making it a popular choice for growing bakeries.
While all the adjustments on the B51C can be easily operated by hand, it is also fully controllable via HMI.
