As South Africa’s food production sector continues to scale, the demand for automated bakery solutions and industrial food production equipment has never been higher. Labour costs are rising, production volumes are increasing and consistency standards are tightening — making automation not just an advantage, but a competitive necessity.
Tombake supplies a specialist range of industrial bakery production lines and automated food processing equipment to large-scale producers across South Africa and the broader African continent. Whether you produce bread, hamburger buns, ciabatta, biscuits or a combination — we have the solution.
Tombake’s Automated Solutions Range
Industrial Bread Production Lines
Designed for high-volume bakeries producing hundreds or thousands of loaves per hour, our industrial bread production lines integrate mixing, dividing, moulding, proofing and baking into a single automated workflow — reducing labour dependency while dramatically increasing output consistency.
Hamburger & Hotdog Make-Up Lines
For fast-food manufacturers and bun producers, Tombake’s hamburger and hotdog bun make-up lines automate dividing, rounding, moulding and panning — ensuring every bun meets the same weight, shape and bake specification. Perfect for franchise bread suppliers and QSR manufacturers.
Semi-Industrial Ciabatta Make-Up Lines
Ciabatta’s open crumb structure demands gentle handling — and our semi-industrial ciabatta make-up lines are engineered to deliver the authentic artisan result at a production scale. Ideal for supermarket bakeries and artisan-at-scale producers.
Industrial Artisanal Deck Ovens
For operations that demand artisan bake quality at industrial volumes, Tombake’s industrial artisanal deck ovens deliver consistent hearth-baked results — without sacrificing throughput. A standout solution for premium bread producers.
Industrial Travelling Ovens
Industrial travelling ovens are the standard for large-scale bread, biscuit and snack production — providing continuous, high-volume baking with precise, programmable temperature control across multiple product zones.
Biscuit Production Equipment
From sheeting and cutting to depositing and tunnel baking, Tombake supplies commercial biscuit production equipment for both semi-industrial and fully industrial-scale operations.
