DOUBLES ELIMINATOR

APV Baker, Inc./Food Machinery
Engineering Ltd. introduces a vibratory
dough-piece doubles eliminator with

perfect feeding into sheeters or moulders.
Featuring a straight-forward design, the
eliminator requires no adjustment when
switching varieties and is easy to clean.

horizontal motion conveys heavy loads
without bogging down the machine and
