Electric Dough Divider: Product Overview
The Electric Dough Divider is an industrial-grade machine engineered to automate the precise portioning of bulk dough into uniform weights at high speed. Replacing error-prone manual scaling, it ensures portion consistency critical for baking uniformity, cost control, and production efficiency in bakeries, pizzerias, and food manufacturing facilities.
Core Functionality
High-Speed Portioning: Hydraulic or pneumatic cutting systems divide bulk dough at rates of 600–2,000+ pieces/hour.
Weight Precision: Advanced pressure sensors or volumetric chambers guarantee accuracy within ±1–3% tolerance (adjustable for 20g–2kg pieces).
Continuous Operation: Feed dough hopper → automated dividing → output of uniformly weighted dough balls/cones.
Key Features & Advantages
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|
| Unmatched Consistency | Eliminates human scaling errors; ensures identical size, density & bake results |
| Labor & Time Savings | Replaces 3–4 manual workers; processes bulk dough in seconds |
| Versatile Dough Handling | Handles lean yeast doughs, rich doughs (brioche), stiff bread doughs, pizza & rolls |
| Adjustable Portioning | Quick-change settings for weights from dinner rolls (20g) to large loaves (2kg) |
| Hygienic Design | Full stainless steel construction; smooth surfaces; tool-free disassembly (NSF/CE compliant) |
| Intuitive Controls | Digital touchscreen presets; memory functions; production counters |
| Gentle Dough Handling | Low-pressure extrusion preserves gluten structure; minimizes degassing |
