An Overview into Dough Dividers & Dough Rounders

Saving You Time While Increasing Product Output

Bakeries have to produce large quantities of dough - but many don&#;t have the time or the workforce to do it efficiently. However, if your facility could take large amounts of dough, cut it down into smaller pieces and knead those portions for proofing, your operations would reduce labor costs and save time during production. By incorporating dough dividers and dough rounders, you will heavily increase your output while maximizing product consistency.

What are dough dividers and dough rounders?

Dough Divider

Dough dividers take a large quantity of dough and divide it into pieces of equal weight or volume.

With automatic dough dividers, the dough is fed into a gravity hopper and is then metered into the divider chamber or extruder.

Smaller operations tend to use manual dividers. With these units, you place the dough underneath the divider and pull down a hydraulic arm to divide the dough into multiple pieces.

Dough dividers can have a wide range of pockets capable of producing one to 36 individual dough pieces.

Dough Rounder

A dough rounder kneads and shapes portions of dough for proofing. They are used to round products like bread, buns, tortillas and other bakery goods.

The most common type of rounder is the conical rounder, where the dough travels in a spiral pattern around a center axis. This step usually comes after the dough has exited the dough divider.

The two types of rounders:

Conical Dough Rounder:

- Commonly used in the industry

- Rotating cone shape

- Used for soft and medium-type doughs

Cylinderical Dough Rounder:

- Rotating tower shape

- Also used for soft and medium doughs

The main difference here is the structure of the two. Both rounders perform the same function.

Dividers and Rounders for Automation

Automatic dividers and rounders are found in high-volume production facilities. In these types of operations, the dough comes through a gravity hopper and is divided into separate pieces. The dough then exits the divider and is conveyed into the rounder. Some rounders have a flour duster component to keep the dough sticking during discharge.
