Computer-assisted reproducibility

The REGO HERLITZIUS PM Series of planetary, stirring and mixing machines gives users a machine portfolio with bowl sizes from 12 to 200 liters to make mixing and blending more precise, faster, more hygienic and more reproducible.

+With more than a century of experience, the bakery machine builder REGO HERLITZIUS stands for products that combine function and design. The manufacturer’s product range extends from beating, stirring and mixing machines to cutting machines and loaf bread forming plants. As well as successful product marketing on the German market, intensive export activities have ensured that the brand is just as well-known in Asia as it is in North America or Europe.

Easy dough processing

Confectioners and bakers find accurate recipe reproducibility indispensable. Users are assisted in this respect by machines in the PM Series with bowl sizes from 12 to 200 liters within their comprehensive range of standard equipment. According to the company, the blending and mixing processes needed for recipes have been optimized under laboratory conditions, and the shapes, curves and radius transitions of the mixing arms designed so as to guarantee very good dough mixing. All REGO HERLITZIUS planetary machines have an electronic controller, a storage computer with 37 programs each of 20 steps, and continuously variable electronic speed control. The machines’ automatic startup program is also computercontrolled to protect the tools and machine. Accurate recipe creation is helped by the above-mentioned features just as much as by the digital time and revolution speed displays.

Comprehensive range of accessories

The standard equipment of the PM Series includes a bowl trolley, three tools (a beating or stirring whisk, a flat stirrer and a mixing spiral) and an accessories set. All the tools are made from rust-free stainless steel. The stirrers and beaters are shaped in such a way that the consistency of a recipe yields a stable batter that does not “collapse” and lose volume too quickly. Optional special accessories are also available for the machines, e.g. scrapers, cruciform stirrers and other tools.

The drive system for the PM Series complies with IE-2 Class, and ensures optimum efficiency. Wear and noise emission from the planetary gearboxes have been examined under laboratory conditions, and improved based on the knowledge obtained.

The company goes on to say that optimized fabrication processes and materials pairing have led to the development of low-maintenance, robust planetary gearing that runs very quietly even at the highest speeds. The drive from the motor to the planetary gears is optimized by a load-dependent, controlled-frequency regulator that ensures good running characteristics in every load situation. Integrated vibration

++ REGO HERLITZIUS planetary machines in the PM Series are available with bowl sizes from 12 to 200 liters elements absorb and reduce vibrations transmitted to the frame. All the above-mentioned precautions are designed to significantly extend the lifetime of the machines.

User-friendliness

Using REGO HERLITZIUS planetary machines to stir and mix should be convenient and easy. That’s also why all machines are fitted with a quick tool-change system. At a bowl size of 40 liters and above, a large electronic bowl height adjustment allows bowl removal entirely without tool dismantling. All the machine frames in the PM Series are constructed from the Hygienic Design viewpoint. For example, this can be seen externally from details such as adjustable feet and novel onepiece protective cover with a filling window over the bowl. All covers are easily interchangeable and simple to clean. The transparent film panel emphasizes the alignment towards the highest hygiene requirements and to DIN EN 454. Tool coupling shafts are fabricated entirely from stainless steel with a quick-change system, and thus also conform to the most stringent hygiene demands. As Managing Director Uwe Paass explains: “With the planetary machines in our PM Series, we have put together a complete package for confectioners and bakers that is on the one hand very sophisticated due to its complex computer control, while at the same time being powerful in operation and long-lived as a result of its robust drive and gearbox designs.” +++
