The Piemaster™ Difference
The current line of Piemaster Turnover Machines™ is the evolution of over 50 years of product development. Our product development has been driven by our core competency: An unchallenged understanding of our customers’ food products. While the Piemaster™ line forged ahead with new features, more robust construction and the support of proactive customer service, our competitors and their knock-offs languished in obsolescence. Flimsy copy-cat machines have surfaced in China, Australia, England and here in the United States; but none can out perform or out last the original Piemaster™ legacy.
Key features that differentiate Piemaster™ from the rest:
1. Solid cast end casings replaced bent sheet metal years ago.
Advantage:
Recessed end cover eliminates food traps. (USDA compliant)
Solid cast construction provides a robust foundation
2. 5/8” mold shafts vs. 1/2"
Advantage:
Aaburco, Inc. discovered many years ago that ½” shafts flex under the pressure of the molds rolling together. This flexing ultimately leads to weakened crimps on the food product resulting in failed seals during cooking. Perhaps one of the most significant improvements employed on the Piemaster™ machine. Note: all of our competitor products use ½” shafting.
3. 3/4” Frame Rods vs. 5/8”
Advantage:
As with the Mold Shafts, the Piemaster’s™ frame rods have been thickened to provide a stable platform.
The frame rods are recessed into the end casings again addressing the elimination of food traps.
Solid Aluminum Gearing
Advantage:
Our competitors use plastic gearing; certainly a cost savings in manufacturing but we believe it is a liability for our customers. The Piemaster’s™ solid aluminum gears have never failed.
Spring Tensioned Swing Arms
Advantage:
A Piemaster™ innovation. Our spring tensioned swing arms provide even pressure across the crimping molds. Even pressure ensures a tight, leak proof seal on your food product and ease of motion for the machine operator.
Solid Cast Aluminum Crank Handle
Advantage:
Our competitors use bent tubing with a plastic sleeve. The Piemaster’s™ solid aluminum crank handle ensures positive grip and superior leverage.
Eliminates food traps.
Lasts a life time.
Suction Cup Footing
Advantage:
Positive attachment to your work surface. No slipping.
The operator is not required to hold the machine in place during operation.
Thicker Solid Cast Molds
Advantage:
Indestructible.
The Piemaster™ model MT-20© come with a 3 year parts, 1 year service warranty which we believe is the most comprehensive warranty in the bakery machine industry.
The same standards that are built into the model MT-20© Piemaster™ are found in all machines carrying the Piemaster™ brand.
