SSO 687C Automat Cutomat - Sheets and Cuts Donuts and other Pastries - 220-V, 60-Hz, 3-phase

RONDO SSO 687 C — Automat-Cutomat 2000 The SSO 687 C is RONDO's longer version of the Automat-Cutomat 2000. It combines a dough sheeter and integrated cutting station in one floor-mounted machine. The major difference from the SSO 685 C is the longer working table/conveyor, giving you more production length. RONDO's current technical literature lists the SSO 687 C as part of its Mechanical Cutomat range. Main specifications — all imperial Specification SSO 687 C Machine type Automat-Cutomat 2000 Base Stainless steel Table width 25.59 in Conveyor-belt width 25.20 in Overall table length 136.61 in Roller length 25.98 in Roller gap 0.020–1.77 in Roller-gap adjustment Automatic Outfeed speed 23.62 in/sec Cutting speed Variable Rated power 0.9 kW / 1.5 kVA Weight 584 lb without flour duster Automatic flour duster Optional Automatic reeling device No These are converted from RONDO's metric specifications. Physical size This is where the 687 C is noticeably larger than the 685 C. Working position With the dough catch pans extended: 60.0 in wide × 155.51 in long That's approximately: 5 ft × 12 ft 11.5 in The RONDO installation documentation gives the working floor-space requirement as 1,215 × 3,950 mm for the 687 C. Resting/folded position With the tables hinged upward: 70.87 in long × 47.83 in wide or approximately: 5 ft 10.9 in × 3 ft 11.8 in The tables fold upward, dramatically reducing the floor space required when the machine isn't being used. Roller system The SSO 687 C has approximately: 26-inch rollers RONDO specifies a roller length of 660 mm, which converts to 25.98 inches. The roller gap is: 0.020–1.77 inches RONDO's newer technical documentation gives 0.5–45 mm, equivalent to about 0.020–1.772 inches. That's a very wide thickness range. The big advantage of the Automat version is that roller-gap reduction is automatic. RONDO's documentation describes the 687 C as having automatic roller-gap reduction, while the comparable Manomat machines use manual adjustment. Four automatic programs One particularly useful feature of the Automat 2000 is the ability to use four preset roller-reduction programs, as well as manual adjustment. So you can establish repeatable reduction sequences instead of manually setting every pass. RONDO's technical material specifically identifies the SSO 687 C as having four programs/manual roller-gap reduction. That's particularly useful for production where you're trying to make the same pastry repeatedly. Conveyor The conveyor is: 25.20 inches wide The newer RONDO specification gives a conveyor width of 640 mm, which converts to 25.20 inches. The outfeed speed is: 23.62 inches per second That's: 118.1 feet per minute RONDO specifies 60 cm/sec. The cutting speed is variable. Cutting station The SSO 687 C isn't just a dough sheeter. It is a Cutomat, meaning the cutting operation is integrated into the machine. The cutting station provides: Variable cutting speed Adjustable cutting pressure Integrated cutting operation Conveyor transport through the cutting process Counter-pressure/support underneath the dough Front-accessible cutting station The result is a continuous process of: dough → sheeting → cutting → discharge rather than having an operator remove a sheet and transfer it to a separate cutting operation. RONDO specifically describes the Cutomat family as machines for combining sheeting and cutting operations. Stainless-steel construction The SSO 687 C uses a: Stainless-steel A-frame/substructure RONDO specifies stainless steel for the substructure of the Automat 2000 SSO 687 C. The tables and food-contact areas are designed for commercial bakery production. Flour duster An automatic flour duster is available as an option. It is not standard equipment on the SSO 687 C. Automatic reeler The SSO 687 C does not have an automatic reeling device. RONDO lists the automatic reeler as unavailable on the Automat-Cutomat 2000 685 C and 687 C. That's different from certain other RONDO Cutomat configurations. Controls The 687 C is a mechanical Automat-Cutomat, not the newer touchscreen Rondostar-Cutomat 5000. RONDO specifies: Handwheel with expanded scale for the Automat-Cutomat 2000. The important point is that the machine still has automatic roller-gap reduction, even though its operator interface isn't a touchscreen. Power RONDO specifies: 1.5 kVA / 0.9 kW for the SSO 687 C. That's approximately: 1.2 horsepower for the 0.9-kW motor rating. Electrical supply This is particularly important if you're buying a new machine for the United States. RONDO's documentation lists the Automat 2000 SSO 687 C for several three-phase configurations, including: 200 V, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz 220 V, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz 230 V, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz 400 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz 420 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz The exact electrical configuration should therefore be specified when ordering. There are also dealer specifications for a 220-V, 60-Hz, 3-phase configuration, which is especially relevant to North American installations. Weight RONDO's current documentation lists: 584 lb for the SSO 687 C without the optional flour duster. The installation manual lists approximately 584 lb without the flour duster and about 628 lb with the flour duster. So for planning shipping/handling, I'd budget around: 600–630 lb depending on configuration and packaging. Dough capacity One dealer specification for the SSO 687 C gives a recommended dough-block weight of approximately: 13–27.6 lb That's the conversion of 6–12.5 kg. Working footprint For a bakery layout, these are the numbers I'd use: SSO 687 C Working: 60.0 × 155.5 inches 5 ft × 12 ft 11.5 in Resting/folded: 47.8 × 70.9 inches 3 ft 11.8 in × 5 ft 10.9 in The difference is substantial, and it's one of the machine's major space-saving features. 687 C vs. 685 C Since you've been looking at both, this is probably the most useful comparison: Specification SSO 685 C SSO 687 C Roller length 26.0 in 26.0 in Table width 25.6 in 25.6 in Conveyor width 25.2 in 25.2 in Roller gap 0.020–1.77 in 0.020–1.77 in Outfeed speed 118 ft/min 118 ft/min Automatic gap reduction Yes Yes Cutting speed Variable Variable Working length ~143.7 in ~155.5 in Working floor width ~47.8 in ~47.8 in Rated power 0.9 kW 0.9 kW Weight ~573 lb ~584 lb Flour duster Optional Optional Automatic reeler No No The 687 C essentially gives you a longer production path while retaining the same basic 26-inch roller/25-inch conveyor system. RONDO's specifications show the 685 C at 3,650 mm overall working length and the 687 C at 3,950 mm. That's about: 11.8 inches more working length for the 687 C.
