Who Formex are
Formex Maquinaria specialises in machines that dose, fill, inject and top bakery and pastry products. It says it has been trading for 50 years and sells in more than 40 countries, with a focus on small and medium producers. More on Formex’s own site.
Formex calls its machines “dosers”. In the UK we call them depositors: machines that put the same weight of batter or filling into every case, tray or mould.
The Formex range
From the semi-automatic DS to the automatic DA, DAS and MA/MAS, plus the DPV/DPVS bench depositor. For muffins, cupcakes, sponge, custards and batters with chips, fruit or nuts.
IA and IS injectors fill croissants, muffins and doughnuts. GTF and TF machines deposit and wire-cut cookies and biscuits. TPT topping dosers and CA paper cup dispensers complete a line.
Modular wood-fired ovens in five sizes, from the 100 cm Small to the 180 cm Maxi, with a lava-stone floor and a refractory dome. For pizza, bread and roasts.
