BURRITO
FOLDER
Present Burrito hand folding lines
are labor intensive operations that are often
costly and prone to personal injuries
resulting from repetitive motion, such as
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The Solbern Burrito
Folding Machine automatically folds tortillas
into finished Burritos. The Machine is offered
in single and double lane configurations with
an output capacity of 60 and 120 Burritos per
minute, respectively. Each lane consists of a
series of folding platforms mounted on a
specialized carrier chain providing an endless
array. The tortillas are hand placed on each
platform. The platforms convey the tortillas
to a depositor station where the filling is
deposited on the tortillas. A cam
assembly hinges the front section of each
platform to form the first fold over the
filling. The platforms then rotate 90 degrees
in preparation for the next folds. The
platforms continue to a second cam assembly
area where the second and third folds are
performed. The hinged sections return to their
original position in preparation for the
transfer to the final fold stations. A lift
arm in each platform transfers the partially
folded Burrito onto a smooth conveyor belt,
where the final folds will take place. The
transfer is performed and a smooth belt
conveys the Burrito to a set of jaws which
folds the Burrito. The Burrito is released by
the jaws and continues on the smooth conveyor
to a second set of jaws where the final fold
is performed, producing a finished Burrito.
The Solbern Burrito Folding Machine produces a
consistently uniform product to your product
specifications. Please consult factory for
other applications.

EGG ROLL
FOLDER
The machine is a straight-line design
having one or two lanes, each containing a
Folding Platform Conveyor System and a Final
Rolling Station. The machine is variable speed
and is capable of processing up to 60 Egg
rolls per minute per lane (up to 120 total per
minute for 2 lanes). The Platform Conveyor
employs plates mounted on fixed intervals and
when running provides an endless array. Each
Platform contains a hinged section, which is
used to initially form the Egg roll. The Egg
roll skins are manually placed upon each
Platform as the Platforms pass through the
Loading Zone. Immediately following the
Loading Zone, a photocell detects the skin on
the Platform and a signal is input to the
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). This
signal controls the Filling Depositor and a
Spray Station providing a “no-skin/no-fill”
and “no-skin/no-spray” operation. As the
Platforms advance on the machine, they engage
a cam track that forms the front roll over the
filling. A second set of cams engage the
platforms to form the side folds. A lifting
device incorporated on each Platform transfers
the semi-finished Egg roll onto the Roll
Station conveyor belt. The Roll Station
performs the final rolling and discharges the
finished Egg roll.

TAQUITO
ROLLER
Solbern has
developed the Taquito Roller based on it’s
patented folding platform design. This unique
machine, available in single and dual lane
configurations, is capable of mechanically
rolling corn or flour tortillas into Taquitos
at speeds of up to 150 per minute. Solbern’s
proven design accommodates a wide
variety of applications and provides solutions
to customers’ unique products. In the ever
changing industry of Prepared Foods,
versatility is the key to success. Solbern’s
philosophy from the onset of it’s Dough
Folding Equipment line, is to design the
equipment around the customer’s product.
If the customer’s product changes, we often
provide alternatives in the form of change
parts that would allow a customer to
manufacture a variation of his original
product, and in certain instances a different
product altogether.
The narrow
straight line design of the Taquito Roller
allows hand placement of tortillas on either
side of the machine and provides efficient use
of floor space, allowing multiple lines to be
installed side by side. PLC controlled
mechanical components, without the use of
robotics or complicated electronics, make this
machine a work horse in your production chain.
Low maintenance and ease of accessibility are
also unique features of this machine.

OTHER
ROLLED OR FOLDED PRODUCTS
Products such as quesadillas and
tacos, which consist in folding a tortilla or
other flat bread product in half with filling
inside, can also be done on Solbern Folding
Equipment.
