About Our Dough Forming Solutions

Sheeters: Thomas L. Green has been a trusted partner to the biscuit, cracker and snack crisps industries for over 125 years, supplying innovative, reliable, and cost-effective sheeting equipment.

Our 2-Roll, 3-Roll and 4-Roll Sheeters produce hole-free sheets of uniform density to ready the dough for forming, lamination or further reduction. Consistent sheet thickness is controlled by the distance between the rolls that compress the dough (which is adjustable).

Extruders: The Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables customers to create a variety of structural, flat and filled extruded and co-extruded shapes and sticks.It was recently redesigned with augers that deliver more product flow with less work.

Our Filled Stick Extrusion System creates sticks filled with soft fillings, such as chocolate, peanut butter or cheese, and the Fried Snack Extruder creates fried snacks such as potato rings, potato sticks, and ethnic noodles and is capable of processing up to 3,000 pounds (1500 kilograms) of dough per hour. The JA High Pressure Extruder produces corn curls and corn ball shapes, onion rings, popcorn and other snack products.

Rotary Moulder: The Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder efficiently produces high definition, three dimensional shapes by pressing dough into a die roll. Operator controls are intuitive and allow for complete automation of the moulding process.

Rotary Cutting Station: The Thomas L. Green Rotary Cutting Station accurately and continuously cuts distinct product shapes out of a single dough sheet. An integrated conveyor system moves product through - and is pressured against - a rotating die assembly. Operators can adjust the pressure on the dough sheet during operation to ensure a thorough cut and consistent piece production.
