Founded in 2000, PND is one of the leading companies in the manufacturing of fruit processing machinery. A business mainly related to exports, which is worth 95% of the total turnover. PND operates on a global scale and is strongly present in Europe, South America, the United States, Asia, Australia and Africa. There are 19 machines in the catalogue that are easy to intuit, use and maintain. Among the top products there are peeling machines, coring machines, automatic and manual cutters, for multiple fruit varieties, as well as treatment and pre-washing tanks.
Strawberry, apple, pear, kiwi, melon, pineapple, mango, peach, lemon, watermelon, citrus; each fruit has different intrinsic and external characteristics and responds to different market needs. The PND brand machines are modular, therefore they lend themselves to the construction of a tailor-made process line for the customer. It is in fact possible, through targeted requests, to combine a machine suitable for cutting into wedges and chunks with a peeler.
Since September, a new machine has been added to the catalogue, the PND new cherry tomato cutter, designed for cutting in half and in quarters. Fast, with a production capacity of about 200 kgs per hour; safe since it is designed to comply with all the safety standards required by current regulations, for example with the covered cutting unit; innovative because of its automatic loading, thus also saving manpower. The product is, in fact, collected in a hopper and, through an elevator conveyor, lift to the loading belt that aligns and transfers it to the cutting station. The cutting unit is composed of 4 rotating circular blades that, operated together, allow the cut into quarters. A mechanical lever system allows, instead, to move 2 blades so as to obtain the cut in half. Finally, an output conveyor, placed under the cutting station, collects the product easily.
Thanks to its innovative stainless-steel design, the machine treats cherry tomatoes of different calibre (Ø 25 - 40 mm) and is easy to handle being equipped with four wheels.
The company strength? Listening to the customer. PND is able to give a prompt response to the buyers, with processing lines designed according to their needs and requirements. A vision enabling to pay attention to technological performance, perfectly tailored to the needs of those who choose them.
It is a truly global machine, as PND srl is also truly global, being based in Italy, but with representative offices located in several different countries.
A team consisting of 40 employees, including administrative and sales staff, technicians and engineers, based at its headquarters in Scafati, in the South of Italy, works alongside agents and technical offices all around the world
Indeed, the human element is one of the main resources of a company with mechanical and technical strengths such as these. Despite the widespread presence of PND representatives on the various continents, when it comes to installing a new machine, there is always an expert who travels from the parent company and follows the process through to completion.
This assumption of responsibility is a guarantee for the customer, which knows from the very first moment that it is going to be accompanied constantly from the design phase to the commissioning of the system.
This constant attention to the needs of its customers is a winning strategy that allows continuous updating in the field and a swift response to customer needs means that customised production lines can be offered to them.

The Industrial Pizza Line is one of the latest products designed and manufactured in SIGMA.
Born from twenty years of experience in the production of cold spreaders for pizza in the craft sector, the machine adopts on industrial scale the concept tested for several years and operating in thousands of machines sold all over the world.
It is the machine that most closely reproduces the manual skill of the pizza maker, imitating his unequalled delicacy. The original protected micro-rolling system, rigorously patented, was born from a successful and original intuition, developed and implemented to obtain a processing of the pasta similar to that of expert hands. The exceptional nature of the machine consists in preparing the base of the pizza, already with the edge, starting from the dough ball, without altering the dough, exactly as the hands of a skilled pizza chef would do. The use is simple and practical; the shapes are always perfect.
In its industrial configuration, the machine is composed of a belt conveyor of about 5000mm in length and a variable width according to the numbers of rows defined to achieving the hourly quantity to be produced.
The pizza processing sequence includes the dough balls loading area, preceded by an automatic flour duster for the carpet and a further automatic flour duster for the ball, the preparation of a power factor correction (centring device) for the dough balls, a pre- chasing spreading, a further automatic flour duster for the first disc obtained, a further cold chasing spreading by means of the patented SIGMA system.
A scraper for the conveyor belt, a tray for recovering flour excess and a touch screen panel for storing work cycles and controlling the line complete the machine. The machine develops on one or more rows in the longitudinal direction for the workings, from 1 up to 4 rows maximum. No dough reworks have to be managed.
The maximum reference cycle times are approximately 800 pizzas/h per row from 100 to 500gr weight and from 20 up to 40cm of diameter. It is on developing a new system to increase the maximum hourly capacity, ready to be sold from the end of 2023. The structure is completely in AISI 304 steel. The moulding area is protected by opening doors.
The machine is designed to integrate upstream with the balls feeding system and downstream with the subsequent process of topping.
The long experience of SIGMA in mixing solutions together with a long experience with partners specialized in manufacturing other parts of the pizza line production, as dividers-rounders, proofers and ovens allow SIGMA to support the customers to realize the complete system.
