What Is Shimming — And Why It’s a Problem in Tortilla Production?
In the world of tortilla production, conventional systems use hydraulic presses. These require shimming — the manual process of adding or removing thin metal plates to align the pressing surfaces. It’s slow, inconsistent, and leaves room for human error. Even the slightest misalignment can lead to wasted product, uneven baking, and significant downtime.
FGS is the first to break with this outdated standard.
Our fully electric, servo-driven press eliminates shimming entirely — offering 0.01 mm precision and real-time adjustments, both manual and automatic. For operators, that means less hassle. For businesses, it means higher efficiency, better quality, and real innovation.
