Glimek - Conical Rounder

• Artisan bakeries use conical rounders for gentle handling of various dough types.
• Industrial bakeries integrate these machines into automated lines for high-volume production.
• Pizza dough production benefits from the consistent rounding provided by this equipment.
• Speciality bread producers utilise conical rounders to achieve uniform product size and shape.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput typically ranges from 1,200 to 3,000 pieces per hour, depending on dough weight and consistency.

Dough weight range

Conical rounders commonly handle dough pieces from 50g up to 1,000g, though some models may accommodate wider ranges.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption around 1.0 to 2.0 kW.

Footprint

A typical conical rounder occupies a floor space of approximately 1.0m x 1.0m, with a height of around 1.5m.

Construction materials

Components in contact with dough are typically made from food-grade stainless steel or other approved hygienic materials.

Rounding method

Dough pieces are rounded by rolling them between a rotating conical drum and a stationary, adjustable rounding track.

• What maintenance is typically required for a conical rounder?

  Routine cleaning of dough contact surfaces, checking and lubricating moving parts, and inspecting belts and bearings are commonly required. Specific schedules will be in the manufacturer's manual.
