Let’s walk through it
These are the key components of a perfectly engineered system designed for efficient, high-quality croissant production. In the following overview, we will guide you through the main components of our Croissant Line
FOUR DECADES OF EXPERIENCE
our croissant line
This visual showcases the full production layout of the Industrial Croissant Line, designed for maximum efficiency and capable of producing up to 165,000 croissants per hour.
The secret to high-quality croissant products lies in the dough laminating process. Featured in grey on the left, the Laminator creates and feeds a perfectly layered dough sheet at the required thickness to the cutting and turning unit.
From Dough Sheet tot Triangle
The heart
of The
Croissant Line
Once the dough sheet leaves the Laminator, it moves directly into the heart of the croissant line, where the dough sheet is transformed into precise triangles.
Depending on the type of croissant you wish to produce, additional modules, such as filling, bending, or curling units, can be integrated to complete your fully customized production line.
Filled or unfilled
What type of croissant
fits your line?
Because every croissant needs a different approach, we deliver innovative solutions that ensure consistent shaping
and high-efficiency processing.
To meet the specific needs of both filled and unfilled croissants, we offer two advanced moulding systems
R-Moulder
The R-Moulder is a high-precision croissant rolling unit designed for optimal performance. This compact system ensures consistent shaping and precise tip control, even at high production speeds.
- Top and bottom roller system for uniform rolling
- Accurate tip control for perfectly shaped croissants
- Compact and user-friendly design for easy integration
- High-speed performance, up to 150 strokes per minute
- Suitable for both filled and unfilled croissants
V-Moulder
The V-Moulder uses vacuum technology to roll dough triangles with precision, ideal for both filled and unfilled croissants, with capacities up to 200 strokes per minute.
- Vacuum roller fixates dough for accurate first curl
- Flap system encloses filling and shapes the croissant
- Suitable for open- and closed-end croissants
- Reliable performance for high-volume production
Flexible Layouts and capacities
Create the croissant
that fits your vision
Straight or C-shaped, plain or filled croissants with the finest filling types: all croissants can be made using the same, flexible production line with capacities and quality that will exceed your requirements.
By simply adding the dedicated units, you decide which croissant varieties your line will create.
Filled Croissants
Depositor Unit
Does your croissant call for a sweet or savory touch, a semi-liquid, solid, or even dual (duo-color) filling? Our dosing systems handle every type with precision. For maximum flexibility, fillings can even be injected after baking.
Our solutions support:
Sweet and savory fillings
Semi-liquid or solid textures
Dual fillings, such as duo-color
Post-bake injection for ultimate flexibility
Curved Croissants
Bending Unit
Our Bending Unit forms curved croissants at high speed and with cosistent quality, up to 150 pieces/min/lane.
- Compact 480 mm length
- Modular design for flexible setups
- Symmetrical bending for uniform shape
- Automated product detectionn
Pinched Croissants
Pinching Unit
The Pinching Unit delivers the final pinch for a flawless curved croissant, in both European and North American styles up to 120 pieces/min/lane.
- Compact: 750 mm length
- Servo-driven, autonomous modules
- Adjustable pinch size
- Hygienic design with inactive modules out of zone

VALUE
Optimizing efficiency, quality, and functionality for your croissant production with cutting-edge technology for optimal performance.
High production capacity
The Rademaker Croissant line can achieve capacities of up to 168.000 pieces per hour. This output is achieved and proven in many industrial production facilities. Scaling up to higher speeds of over 240.000 pieces per hour is possible in special cases, with increased working width or integrating a specialized rotation unit tailored for small croissants
Cutting & Rotating
Accurate cutting and rotating leads to consistent positioning of the triangle shaped dough pieces. This results in accurate and consistent make-up of the croissants without the requirement of a vision system. The usage of timing belts instead of chains is preferred which also results in improved production consistency, reliability and system durability.
User Friendly Control System
The advanced control system features fully automated speed adjustments, allowing the different sections to operate independently. While the last dough part of the production run is processed towards the end of the line, the beginning of the line is ready for cleaning or for a next production run.
Increased Efficiency
The new Croissant line is developed to be the most efficient Croissant production machine in the industry: In total a production efficiency increase of 11%* is achieved compared to the previous generation Rademaker croissant systems.
Unique Fit Tooling
Unique Fit Tooling enables efficient operation and quick tool changeovers. Each tool and machine part is given a name and unique identification number. This way the person responsible for the change-over can clearly see what tool to use.
Hygienic Design
The system is designed according to the Rademaker Sigma® design guidelines. These guidelines are directly derived from various high- end requirements for hygiene & cleanability such as the GMA standard and EHEDG recommendation.
