General - Dough Ball Injecting Line

• Producing filled dough products such as doughnuts, dumplings, or filled buns.
• Injecting creams, jams, or other fillings into pre-formed dough balls.
• Automating the filling process for bakery and patisserie production lines.
• Creating consistent, portion-controlled filled dough products for retail or foodservice.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from several hundred to a few thousand units per hour, depending on product size and line configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for motors and heating elements.

Footprint

A complete line, including an index line, depositor, and hopper, will require a significant operational footprint, typically several metres in length.

Hopper volume

Stirred heated hoppers commonly have volumes ranging from 50 to 200 litres, suitable for maintaining filling consistency and temperature.

Filling type suitability

This equipment is generally suitable for viscous and semi-viscous fillings that can be pumped and heated, such as fruit purees, custards, or chocolate ganache.

Outlet configuration

Multi-head outlets allow for simultaneous injection into multiple dough balls, increasing production efficiency.

• What types of dough can this line process?

  This line is generally designed for processing various types of yeast-raised or leavened dough balls that can be indexed and injected without significant deformation.

• Is the filling temperature controllable?

• Can the line handle different filling volumes?

• What maintenance is typically required for this equipment?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturers?

Injecting and filling equipment holds strong reputation among food processors for consistent portion control and product uniformity. Buyers typically prioritise machines with robust construction, reliable pump systems, and compatibility with existing production lines. Used units should be inspected for wear on seals, nozzles and calibration accuracy. Industry sentiment favours models offering straightforward maintenance and flexibility across different product viscosities. Build quality and documented service history substantially influence purchasing decisions, with preference for established manufacturers known for durability and spare parts availability.
