INTRODUCTION
he COMTEC Model 2200 Press forms pie, cheesecake, hors d’oeuvres and
other specialty crusts in round and non-round containers. This Press can
form bottom crusts ranging in size from 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) to 12 inches
(300 mm) diameter; top crusts to 11-5/8 inches (295 mm) diameter. The
quality of the crusts formed with this Press exceeds that obtained with sheeted
methods.
The Model 2200 is a hydraulic machine that uses custom dies to form dough. Each size
and type of crust requires a separate, custom die. Dies that form bottom crusts are
manufactured to work with a specific pan, chosen by the customer.
To form a crust, a dough portion is placed in the
center of the pan to be used. The pan is then
placed in the lower die half. USING TWO
HANDS, ONE HAND ON EACH LEVER, PRESS
BOTH LEVERS
to bring the lower die half up
against the upper stationary heated die half.
After a short dwell (for example, 2 seconds) the
levers are released, bringing the lower die half
down. The formed crust is then removed from
the die. ONLY THE OPERATOR OF THE
HANDLES IS TO LOAD THE PAN WITH DOUGH
PORTION INTO, AND REMOVE THE FINISHED
CRUST FROM THE PRESS
