Glimek - Volumetric Dough Divider

• Dividing dough for bread production in bakeries.
• Portioning dough for rolls and buns in commercial kitchens.
• Preparing dough pieces for pizza bases in food service operations.
• Scaling dough for pastries and other baked goods in industrial settings.

Typical capacity

Volumetric dough dividers of this class typically handle a wide range of dough types, with throughput commonly ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 pieces per hour, depending on dough consistency and weight settings.

Dough weight range

Units like the Glimek SD-300 commonly offer a dough weight range from approximately 50g to 1,000g, adjustable to suit specific product requirements.

Power supply

This specific unit is single phase. Volumetric dough dividers typically require a 230V, single-phase or three-phase electrical supply, depending on the model and motor size.

Hopper capacity

For this class of equipment, hopper capacities commonly range from 50kg to 150kg, allowing for continuous operation without frequent refilling.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel and food-grade plastics for hygiene and durability, suitable for food processing environments.

Footprint

The footprint for volumetric dough dividers commonly ranges from 1.5m² to 3m², requiring adequate space for operation and maintenance.

• What type of dough is suitable for a volumetric dough divider?

  Volumetric dough dividers are generally suitable for a wide range of yeast-leavened doughs, including bread doughs, roll doughs, and some pastry doughs. The dough consistency should be relatively uniform for optimal division accuracy.

• How accurate is the dough division?

• What maintenance is required for a volumetric dough divider?

• Can the dough weight be easily adjusted?

• Is a dough rounder typically required after a volumetric dough divider?

Dough dividers and rounders are valued in bakeries for their consistency and labour savings. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction and reliable portioning accuracy when selecting used models. Industry sentiment reflects appreciation for machines that handle various dough types without jamming. Common strengths include durability of mechanical components and straightforward maintenance. Potential buyers should inspect wear on rollers and dividing mechanisms, verify motor function, and confirm spare parts availability before purchase.
