Traditional dough handling equipment technology is aimed at producing a very fine gas bubble structure in the dough and bread with a tight crumb grain. It is intended to suit the high volume and time efficiency requirements of commercial bakeries.

To achieve the largest output in terms of pieces per minute, such processing technologies rely on sturdy, long-lasting equipment and technology. Today's dough handling equipment is mostly employed in the manufacturing of pan bread and buns. These technologies may be created, built, and implemented to work with a variety of dough systems. Sponge and dough, no-time dough, and liquid sponges are a few examples. The bakery often requests the dough method employed in the early phases of manufacturing line size and design.

The dough is a thick, flexible, and occasionally elastic mixture produced from grains, legumes, or chestnuts. The dough is normally formed by combining flour with a small quantity of water or other liquid, and it may also contain yeast or other leavening agents, as well as additional components such as fats or flavourings.

Making and shaping dough is the first step in the creation of a wide range of foodstuffs, including bread and bread-based goods, but also biscuits, cakes, cookies, dumplings, flatbreads, noodles, pasta, pastry, pizza, piecrusts, and similar things. The dough can be created from a broad range of flours, including wheat and rye, but also maize, rice, legumes, almonds, and other cereals or crops.

Automation typically leads to higher uniformity of baked goods and may relieve bakers of numerous hassles. Aside from lowering labor expenses, automated dough handling equipment eliminates potentially hazardous operations like as physically carrying dough troughs around bakeries and having workers hold blades to chop these big masses into smaller pieces. Adding heat is a major difficulty when mechanically moving dough.

Bakeries also don't want to overwork the dough, which might make it denser or harsher. Dough handling equipment has been around for a long time. Pumps, chunkers, conveyors, and pipes are some of the most popular pieces of equipment used to carry dough from mixing systems to makeup systems. Bakers may expedite the front end of the manufacturing process by using automated dough handling equipment and spiral flow feeders.

Dough Divider Rounder Purchasing Guide

Why A Removable Head Matters For Your Dough Divider Rounder

Did you know that not all divider rounders are created equal? While production rate and ease of use are important, the ability to easily remove and interchange knife head assemblies should also be considered. While a removable knife head facilitates easier cleaning; a machine with an interchangeable knife head system enables your bakery to produce multiple products using one machine.

How Does It Work?

In an interchangeable system, an existing knife head is removed like normal and replaced with another knife head (that has corresponding rounding plates) capable of processing a different weight range. This includes being able to make both larger and smaller bread and rolls.

QinLi supply professional and honest service.

How Do I Know If I Need A Removable Head System?

Below are some considerations you can keep in mind when determining if a divider rounder with a removable, interchangeable head system is right for you.

  • Do you make multiple products that require dividing and rounding?
  • Do you have limited floor space? This system can help eliminate the need for an additional machine, thus saving space on the production floor.
