A WORLDWIDE LEADER IN

“ARTE BIANCA” SINCE 1928

HISTORY

THE 80s

Our history began in 1929, when the company Ing. Polin &

C. was founded with the purpose of producing artisan baking

ovens for bread and pastry. Over the years, our company has

grown by creating new specialized departments and integrat-

ing companies that share similar business activities, quality, ide-

als and principles. Today we are a group that operates in five

factories equipped with the most modern production technolo-

gies on a total area of 70,000 sq. metres.

THE AUTOMATIC MODULAR GROUP FOR

ALL TYPES OF DOUGH

An example of a VBS Air solution with dough divider, moulder, moulding table.

VBS AIR

VBS Air is the result of all the expertise

of Polin, the leading company in design-

ing and manufacturing machines for the

baking and confectionery industry. It is a

modular line that allows to produce many

types of bread with customized automat-

ic solutions for small and medium baking

facilities. Every artisan can configure it to

their needs, keeping their art unchanged,

reducing manual work and increasing pro-

ductivity. Robust and durable, VBS Air has

been designed to provide maximum pre-

cision and productivity, while at the same

time creating a quality artisan product.

AS GENTLE AS THE EXPERT HANDS OF

AN ARTISAN

Designed to recreate the artisan "touch",

the VBS Air dough divider allows to work

perfectly with both fresh and rested dough,

at high moisture content. The dough is not

stressed, allowing it to flow gently as if

being worked by the hands of an experi-

enced operator. All this by the simple press

of a button. Made of steel and aluminum,

it offers a high level of stability and durabil-

ity that guarantees a long-lasting service.

DOUGH DIVIDER

EASY AND COMPLETE. JUST CHOOSE

THE RECIPE

Even the less experienced operator will be

able to control all the parameters of the

machine thanks to an immediate and intu-

itive control panel with an 8.4 inch “Touch

screen”. It offers the opportunity to store

1000 automatic adjustments, which allow

you to manage any kind of dough under

optimal conditions, in order to create a

wide range of products. The built-in mo-

dem allows remote problem solving and

constant software updates.

CONTROL

MAXIMUM PRECISION. GREAT SOLIDITYEach VBS Air module has a stainless steel struc-

ture that guarantees great stability and solidity,

ensuring maximum precision while process-

ing the dough. The guards are also made of

brushed stainless steel to give added strength

and, in addition, an outstanding appearance.

Another unique characteristic of VBS is that it

has robust aluminum side frames with a thick-

ness of 15 mm.

HOPPER

YOU CAN CHOOSE THE MOST SUITABLE FOR YOUR NEEDS It is extremely easy to load and it is available

in different widths: 165/220/240/300. Thanks

to the use of inverters, the movement of the

inverted honeycomb plastic belt automatically

adjusts to the kind of dough you are working

with. The side frames facilitate the movement

of the dough and are made of food safe pol-

yurethane.

FLOUR DISTRIBUTOR

PRECISE ADJUSTING OF FLOUR RATE

It guarantees a perfect distribution of flour

even on the stickiest dough. It is mount-

ed as standard and positioned before the

touching device, in order to prevent dough

adhesions. The flour duster allows a pre-

cise regulation of the amount of flour to

fall on the dough. The flour duster is re-

movable and washable, which ensures

complete sanitation.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DOUGH DIVIDER

SHEETING GROUP

GENTLE SHEETING OF THE DOUGH

The new Air sheeting System achieves a gen-

tle reduction in the thickness of the dough,

obtaining a stress-free dough that is ready for

optimum development. It consists of a pol-

yurethane cylinder system that is adjustable

in more than 40 positions by means of a le-

ver. Each cylinder has a scraper for a constant

cleaning. Upstream of the sheeting cylinders,

the height-adjustable touching device, en-

sures the correct dose of dough at the input.

The thickness reduction of the dough can be

from 30 to 5 millimeters.

CUTTING DISCS

EASILY INTERCHANGEABLE

Cutting discs made of non-stick material

allow to cut up to 18 rows. The shape of

the disc, with its rounded profile, has been

designed to detach the dough more easily

and to "sew" the side of the cut dough.

MULTIPLIER SYSTEM SPREADING

UNIT WITH BELTS OR WITH GUIDED

SPRINGS

TO IDEALLY SPREAD THEPRODUCT ROWS

The Multiplier System spreading unit with

belts, from 1 to 7 rows, is available with

manual adjustment or fully automat-

ic adjustment, controlled by the “Touch

screen”. The Multiplier System is an in-

ternationally patented solution by Polin.

For the production of breadsticks, a guid-

ed-spring spreading device can be used in

the manual or automatic version.

SPECIAL GUILLOTINE ENTRY CONVEYOR

CORRECT PLACEMENT OF ROWS OF DOUGH

The preparatory conveyor belt, positioned

upstream of the guillotine, puts the rows

of dough in perfect order before cutting.

A photocell system guarantees perfect uni-

formity of the cutting length.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DOUGH DIVIDER

COMPRESSED AIR OPERATED GUILLOTINE

CUTTING PRECISION ANDHIGH PRODUCTIVITY

The guillotine is equipped with photocells

for detecting the product, which automat-

ically activate and deactivate it. It ensures

high cutting precision and accurate weight

of the product, with a speed of up to 40

cuts per minute.

MULTI-POSITION OUTLET BELT

THE PERFECT TRANSIT TO THE FOLLOWING MODULES

A connection belt with variable speed,

thanks to the use of inverters, makes the

dough passage perfect to the following

modules or to directly deposit it onto the

trays, at a synchronized speed with feed

rate and with adjustable deposit height.

All belts are antimicrobial and anti-fraying.

YOU CAN HAVE THE LINE YOU WANT

MODULES

MOULDER

AN EXCELLENTLY SHAPED PRODUCTBuilt on sturdy aluminum side frames,

the 4-cylinder moulder with adjustable

anti-waste, mounted on a spring frame,

gives an elongated shape to the loaf with-

out tearing the dough. The opportunity to

apply an inverter system guarantees opti-

mal winding of different types of dough.

It works in conjunction with the dough di-

vider, with or without a rounding machine.

DOUBLE MOULDER

FOR A PERFECT DOUBLE WINDINGTo make all types of bread that require

double winding, allowing a wide variety

of production without the complications

of having to rotate cumbersome machine

parts. The outlet phasing device at the first

moulder guarantees a perfect alignment,

allowing an optimum bread moulding.

The 3/4/5/6 way piece-turning device with

"little hands" allows the second wind-

ing, while the interchangeable motorized

tracking devices give a great uniformity.

MOULDING TABLE AND FLATTENER

EXTENDING OR FLATTENING WITHOUT STRESSING THE DOUGHThe double adjustment for both input and

output ensures a soft processing of the

dough, which is gradually stretched and

is not subject to any type of stress. The

moulding table is available in a table ver-

sion or with an opposing belt. The latter

offers the option of installing an inverter

that allows you to adjust the speed when

you want and reverse the travel direction

to flatten the pieces of dough.

INTERMEDIATE PROOFER

PRODUCT REST SYNCHRONIZED TO THE LINEAllows a 10 to 20 minute rest for those

products that need it, synchronized to

line operation. Developed on a large steel

structure, it is made up of a series of perfo-

rated aluminum swinging trays and a non-

stick sleeve, on which the pieces of dough

rest. It also allows long loaves and balls to

be loaded. An environmental control sys-

tem always keeps the rest chamber at opti-

mal temperature and humidity conditions.

SEED SPRINKLER

HOMOGENOUS AND ADHERENT DISTRIBUTION OF THE SEEDSIn order for the seeds to adhere perfectly

to the product, the product must be wet

directly: the product is transported by a

double stainless steel mesh in a water

bath where the surface that is necessary

to be wet is immersed. The product is then

rolled over and slid under the seed-spread-

ing hopper. The hoppers are interchange-

able according to the type of seeds to be

spread. Made of stainless steel, they con-

sist of grooved rollers with a cross section

of 1 mm to 10 mm.

STAMPING MACHINE

TO DIE CUT THE SHAPEYOU WANTThanks to the interchangeable bars, you

can stamp products in any design and

shape. Being able to adjust the pressure

also makes it possible to imprint even the

most tenacious dough. The stamping ma-

chine module can be either combined with

the intermediate proofer or not.

CHOOSE THE MOSTSUITABLE WAY FOR

YOU TO WORK

LOADING SYSTEM

DOUGH DIVIDERThe dough divider with built-in, automatic

tray placing, allows you to load up to 15-

18 trays without the need for an operator

to continuously intervene. The feed rate of

the baking tray is variable, because it is ad-

justed by inverters: it determines the num-

ber to be unloaded and the length of the

product. The unloading belt is fine-tuned,

with overturning or continuous discharge,

without the dough getting stressed.

STACKING MODULEThe unloading cabinet ensures the contin-

uous work of the line, stacking the trays

loaded with the product. In a small space it

can hold up to 18. With the application of

a Cartesian axis it also allows the loading

of a trolley.

WORKING WITH AUTOMATIC TRAY PANNING

GO-FRO CONVEYOR MODULEBeing connected to the dough divider, it

allows you to determine the number of

product rows you want to unload. While

the unloading phase occurs, the dough di-

vider continues to work and load the fol-

lowing products, without any limitations

to the productivity of the machine.

CARTESIAN ROBOTAT 3 AXESIn order to complete the automation pro-

cess, the rip-loader can be combined with

the Cartesian robot that loads the tray

trolleys with folded edges. With a minimal

amount of space, you avoid employing a

fixed operator at the bottom of the line,

maximizing productivity. In less than 20

seconds, thanks to the 3 axes powered by

brushless motors, it pulls the baking tray

out of the trolley, places it under the rip

device to load the product and puts it back

on the trolley.

DOUGH DIVIDERThe VBS Air dough divider allows you to

work perfectly even with trays that have

folded edges or frames, thanks to the

rip-loader.
