Arranging dough pieces or finished products onto baking trays is a tedious, time-consuming manual task. It takes workers away from skilled jobs, introduces inconsistency, and creates a bottleneck in your production line.
The HM-860 Automatic Tray Arranging Machine solves this problem. Designed for commercial bakeries, frozen food producers, and high-volume production facilities, this machine automatically arranges products onto trays at speeds of 1,000 to 7,000 pieces per hour.
The HM-860 is an automatic tray arranging machine that places dough pieces or finished products onto baking trays in organized rows. It works seamlessly with upstream equipment such as dough dividers, forming machines, or cutting lines. The machine handles parallel or cross arrangements and calculates the optimal layout automatically.
Key specifications:
Model: HM-860
Capacity: 1,000–7,000 pieces per hour
Power: 2.0 kW
Dimensions: 1550 × 1100 × 1680 mm
Weight: 465 kg
The HM-860 features a PLC control system with built-in 99-group memory function. This allows operators to save settings for different products, tray sizes, and arrangement patterns.
Benefits of the memory function:
Quick changeover between products
No need to reprogram for repeat orders
Consistent arrangement every time
Reduced operator error
Once a product is programmed, recalling the settings takes seconds. This is especially valuable for bakeries running multiple product lines or seasonal items.
Different products require different tray layouts. Some need parallel rows for uniform baking. Others need cross arrangements for better spacing or cooling airflow.
The HM-860 supports both parallel and cross arrangement modes, which can be set easily through the control panel. The machine automatically adjusts placement to match the selected mode.
The machine does more than just place products. It automatically judges and calculates the arrangement mode and quantity based on tray size and product dimensions.
This smart feature:
Eliminates manual layout planning
Maximizes tray utilization
Prevents overcrowding or wasted space
Adjusts automatically for different product sizes
Operators simply select the product and tray type. The machine handles the rest.
Accuracy matters in tray arranging. Products placed off-center can bake unevenly. Overlapping products stick together. Poor spacing reduces oven capacity.
The HM-860 uses a servo motor drive system that ensures precise product placement every time. Servo motors provide:
Exact positioning to within millimeters
Consistent placement across thousands of pieces
Smooth, reliable operation at high speeds
No drift or variation over time
Despite its advanced capabilities, the HM-860 is designed for easy operation.
Intuitive PLC interface
Simple mode selection (parallel/cross)
One-touch recall of saved settings
Minimal operator training required
One operator can manage the machine while overseeing other production tasks.
Higher throughput – Arranges 1,000 to 7,000 pieces per hour, far exceeding manual rates.
Labor savings – Frees workers for skilled tasks like quality control and maintenance.
Consistent spacing – Even gaps for uniform baking and cooling.
Maximum tray utilization – Smart calculation fits more products per tray.
Quick changeover – 99-group memory allows instant recall of product settings.
Reduced waste – No overcrowding, no underfilled trays.
Precise placement – Servo drive ensures accurate positioning.
The HM-860 works with a wide range of products:
Product | Typical Arrangement |
|---|---|
Dinner rolls | Parallel rows for even baking |
Cookies | Cross arrangement for maximum tray use |
Buns | Parallel or cross based on size |
Dough portions | Even spacing for proofing |
Small pastries | Dense arrangement for freezing |
Mantou / Steamed buns | Parallel rows for steaming trays |
The HM-860 is designed to work seamlessly with upstream equipment:
Dough dividers – Receives portioned dough directly
Forming machines – Arranges shaped products
Cutting lines – Places cut pieces onto trays
Conveyor systems – Syncs with existing material flow
The machine can be positioned at the end of your forming or cutting line, eliminating manual tray loading entirely.
Factor | Manual Arranging | HM-860 Automatic |
|---|---|---|
Speed | Slow (hundreds per hour) | Fast (1,000-7,000 per hour) |
Consistency | Varies by worker | Perfect every time |
Tray utilization | Inconsistent | Optimized automatically |
Labor cost | High | Low |
Changeover time | Minutes to hours | Seconds (99-group memory) |
Placement accuracy | Approximate | Precise (servo drive) |
The HM-860 arrives ready to integrate into your production line. Its 1550×1100×1680 mm footprint and 465 kg weight fit into most commercial bakery layouts.
What you'll need:
Standard power supply (2.0 kW)
Upstream forming or cutting equipment
Standard baking trays
Space for tray loading and unloading
Installation tips:
Position the machine at the end of your forming line
Keep tray stacks within easy reach
Ensure clearance for tray removal
Manual tray arranging is a hidden bottleneck in many bakeries. It is slow, inconsistent, and wastes skilled labor on repetitive tasks.
