Semi Automatic Pie Depanner SMP004


Reduce stress, labour costs and improve operator safety


Depanning pies manually is one of the most stressful and time-consuming tasks in the pie bakery. OOS can quickly become an issue which is why we developed the Depanner. It is the result of many years trial and error to find an easier, quicker and safer way for our staff to depan pies.

Using a Pieline Depanner means one person can transfer 24 pies from an Oven Rack to the Depanner then to a Cooling Rack in less than 20 seconds without damage to your product. The staff at The Goodtime Pie Co. love it and say it makes depanning a breeze.
