Novapan - Square Divider, 20 Piece

• Dividing dough for bread rolls, buns, and other small baked goods.
• Portioning dough accurately for consistent product size and weight in bakeries.
• Use in high-volume production environments requiring efficient dough processing.
• Suitable for artisan bakeries and larger commercial kitchens.

Typical capacity

Units of this type are designed to divide a single dough piece into 20 equal portions. The total dough weight processed per cycle typically ranges from 1.5 kg to 5 kg, depending on the specific model and dough consistency.

Power supply

This class of equipment is usually manual or semi-automatic. Manual units require no external power. Semi-automatic versions commonly operate on standard single-phase electrical supplies (e.g., 230V, 50Hz in the UK).

Construction material

As stated, this unit is all stainless steel, which is typical for food processing equipment due to its hygiene properties and durability.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a square divider typically requires a benchtop area of approximately 500mm x 500mm to 700mm x 700mm, plus operational space.

Maintenance requirements

Routine cleaning of dough contact parts is essential. Mechanical components typically require periodic lubrication and inspection for wear.

Dough consistency

These dividers are generally suitable for a wide range of dough consistencies, from soft bread dough to stiffer pastry doughs, though optimal performance may vary.
