General - Roll Plant Dough Chunker

• Used in bakeries and food processing plants for portioning large dough masses.
• Integral to automated bread and roll production lines for initial dough division.
• Suitable for operations requiring consistent weight control of dough portions before further processing.

Typical capacity

Units of this type commonly handle dough batches from 100kg to 500kg per hour, depending on the specific model and dough consistency.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements.

Dough chunk size

Designed to produce large, manageable chunks of dough, typically ranging from 5kg to 30kg, for subsequent processing.

Construction material

Often constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, dimensions can vary, but typically require a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 1m.

Feeding mechanism

Commonly features a hopper or trough for manual or automated feeding of bulk dough.

• What is the primary function of a dough chunker?

  A dough chunker's primary function is to divide large, unmanageable masses of dough into smaller, more uniform chunks, preparing them for subsequent processing steps like dividing or rounding.
