Frozen Pizza MEGA FACTORY: How Automation Produces TONS of Pizzas Daily

Рет қаралды 711,956

Күн бұрын

Making frozen pizzas for mass distribution involves a series of automated steps: Large mixers combining flour, water, yeast, and other ingredients create a smooth dough in large quantities.
The dough is then automatically divided into portions which are transported on long conveyor belts to sheeting machines, which flatten and shape them into precise, circular bases suitable for various pizza sizes.
Automated sauce applicators evenly spread tomato sauce on the dough, adjusting quantities based on pizza size. Toppings are added through automated systems, ensuring even distribution of cheese, pepperoni, vegetables, and other ingredients.
The pizzas then enter large ovens, operating at precise temperatures, to achieve a crispy crust, melt the cheese, and cook the toppings. After baking, the pizzas cool down on conveyor belts, passing through freezers and inspection stations equipped with cameras and sensors to ensure quality. Packaging stations are also where machines place them in cardboard boxes or plastic wraps, sealing in freshness.
The reported increase in U.S. sales of frozen pizza from approximately 6.06 billion U.S. dollars to 6.77 billion U.S. dollars between 2021 and 2022 underscores the growing popularity and demand for this convenient food option. Several factors could contribute to this upward trend. Firstly, the convenience and ease of preparation associated with frozen pizzas make them an attractive choice for consumers with busy lifestyles, especially amid the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

wonder how often this is done. Though i have to admit i never heard of an recall of frozen Pies or any kind of bug that might be associated with them. Also what is not shown or said, what they are doing with the cut outs and offcuts or dough rounds that are being rejected. Throw them back into the mixing bowl or kneading machine? Same with the cheese, sauce or toppings. And have you ever seen what kind of -Salami - they are using for those toppings? Or how they are being sliced? One thing though is for sure. When doing Pizza at home, no round one, but a big square baking try. And no - original thin crust -. But thick crust dough... And that frozen - Ma this one - and - stone oven baked - and - Ma that one -, never made it into our shopping trolley. Maybe it does help though, that i am a Chef. And know what gunk out there is being produced.

At least when I get my pizza from a local pizzeria (not to be confused with a national chain), I will eat every bite so I get a lot more for my buck even though the upfront cost may be higher.
