Legend 33 OP/AL System


Application

For the automation of proofing and loading in the production of pressed flour tortillas, wraps, and other flat breads. The OP/AL is composed of an Overhead Proofer (OP) and patented Automatic Loader (AL). The Double Drop OP/AL is enhanced by the use of a second press in an adjacent configuration.
