Kalmeijer is a Dutch company that produces bakerymachines since 1920. Our main and very succesful export article is the
biscuit machine KGM, which we sell throughout the world. We have dealers in several countries, or we can deliver our machines directly to you. The machines are very easy to use, operate and maintain.
With every machine, we deliver a detailed instruction book in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and of course in Dutch, which shows the user very clearly how to work with the machine and how to prepare the dough. We also have a booklet with example recipes and a demonstration video. Follow this link for an example recipe. Of course you can contact us for many more ideas for recipes.
Using the biscuitmachine KGM you can make
biscuits and cookies with your own recipes, the only restriction is that the dough must contain certain ratio's of flour, sugar and butter/margarine.
Using the machine you are about 10 times quicker than when the biscuits are made by hand (using a sheeting
machine, then cutting the dough pieces and place them on the baking trays by hand). See
pages biscuits 1 and 2 for more information on the
Kalmeijer biscuitmachine type KGM.
Quick and efficient
The machine can be operated by one or two persons. When the machine is operated by two persons, one operator feeds the baking trays and the dough slices into the machine. The other removes the baking trays and puts them in a rack.The capacity when operating in this way is 2 -5 kgs of dough per minute, depending on size and thickness of the doughfigures. Cleaning after production is done in
minutes.

Wide variety
The Kalmeijer biscuitmachine can deal with sweet pastry dough for cookies, jam biscuits,
Viennese cookies, ginger bread, wafers, Christmas biscuits, playing cards, etc. As there is no friction or pressing of the dough in the biscuit machine, it is possible to use dough with a fat contents between 30% -70% (in relation to flour); in some cases even 20% to 80%. This means that you can use sweet pastry dough according to your own recipe.
Heating device
Before the input of the dough slices and baking trays will take place, the machine can be switched on and during 30 seconds the machine is running to pre-heat the figure roller automatically. Now the machine is ready to start, the dough slices and baking trays can be placed into the machine. Only when the machine is working the heating unit will be automatically switched on.This guarantees that the dough (without using flour dusting) will not stick to the figure roller and perfectIy formed dough figures will be obtained.
The Kalmeijer system
The figure roller forms the dough figures on the feeding roller. An adjustable knife, which can also alter the thickness of the dough figures, moves very quickly and cuts them off from the dough sheet. This Kalmeijer cutting system can process all kinds of soft sweet pastry dough. With the
pie- and biscuitmachine type KTM you can even make apple and marmelade pies.
Flexibility
Changing the figure roller to make another kind of biscuit, is a matter of seconds. Push two levers backwards and you can change the figure roller without the need to use tools. You can choose from more than 60 figure rollers for a wide range of large and small biscuits. Special figure rollers can be made according to your own design. You can contact our sales department for more information regarding special and standard rollers.
Automatic "stop and go"
In order to monitor the dough input and the transport of baking trays constantly, switches have been built in the machine. These switches stop the machine if the dough input is insufficient or if there are no more baking trays left in the machine. As soon as the input of the dough and baking trays starts once more, the machine will start running again. The dough figures are cut and automatically fed onto the baking trays by means of a conveyor belt. As the speed of the baking trays can be regulated, you are able to alter the distance between the dough figures on the baking tray (variomatic system).
