Puff pastry slicer: working smarter with puff pastry

Our story of automation in the bakery

What started with a concrete challenge on the shop floor grew into a unique international specialisation. Founder Johan saw how time-consuming and quality-sensitive cutting a cream slice was: labour-intensive, inconsistent and physically demanding.

He thought: it has to be faster, more precise and easier. Today, we are the expert in automated solutions for processing puff pastry products - from compact slicers to complete production lines - with customers at home and abroad.

Slicer for a cream slice as starting point

In the Netherlands, everyone knows the “tompouce”. The two crispy layers of puff pastry, the creamy filling and the shiny fondant top layer require delicate handling.

Cutting puff pastry

The dough is fragile: the hard, brittle baked crust breaks easily, while the inside is soft and sometimes sticky. This makes it difficult to process the product consistently and without damage at high speed.

This is precisely where we are strong. The development of a smart puff pastry cutter was the start of our specialism.

Working with puff pastry requires technique and feeling

Puff pastry is more than an ingredient - it is a craft in itself. Once baked, its buttery, airy texture creates the distinctive layers and crispy mouthfeel. At the same time, this brings challenges.

Thanks to years of experience, we know exactly how to dose, build and cut these delicate products automatically - without compromising on quality or presentation. Our puff pastry slicer plays a central role in this.

Processing puff pastry all over Europe

Where it started with ‘tompouces’ in the Netherlands, today we work with bakers from all over Europe. In Germany, our technology is used for Sahne Schnitte or Apfelstrudel, in England for cream slices and in France for Mille-Feuilles.

Each country has its own variations, but the challenge remains the same: how do you process shortcrust dough quickly, hygienically and while maintaining its shape and structure?

From craft to industrial puff pastry machine

No production process is the same. We develop solutions for both artisan bakers and large production sites.

From a compact cutting machine on the worktop to complete lines where cutting, stacking, filling and decorating are fully automated.

Thanks to our knowledge of both the product and the technology, we create systems that are not only efficient, but also preserve the quality of the pastry. Our industrial bakery machines offers a solution for bakeries looking to scale up.
