What Is Shimming — And Why It’s a Problem?
In traditional production systems, especially those using hydraulic presses, shimming is the manual process of adding or removing thin metal plates to align the pressing surfaces. It’s time-consuming, inconsistent, and opens the door to human error. Even the slightest misalignment can lead to wasted product, uneven cooking, and long downtime. For operators, it’s a daily hassle. For businesses, it’s a costly inefficiency.
FGS is a European manufacturer of high-end production lines, built specifically for the tortilla industry. Our servo-electric press sets a new standard: no shimming, no downtime, just precision and reliability. We’re here to replace outdated hydraulic systems with smarter, cleaner, and more efficient technology.
Experience flawless alignment, faster setup, and higher output all without manual adjustments.
FGS brings together decades of industrial engineering expertise with deep, real-world experience in food production. Our team of designers, engineers, and technical specialists works closely together to develop smarter, more efficient solutions. Every line we build is shaped by the knowledge of people who understand the factory floor, and who know exactly what it takes to deliver performance at scale..
