Polin - 2 Lane Ciabatta Divider

• High-volume bakeries producing ciabatta and similar rustic breads.
• Industrial food processing plants requiring consistent dough portioning.
• Artisan bakeries looking to automate and scale ciabatta production.

Typical capacity

Units of this type typically process several hundred kilograms of dough per hour, depending on dough consistency and desired portion size.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage depending on motor size.

Number of lanes

This unit features 2 lanes, allowing for simultaneous processing of two dough streams.

Dough type suitability

Specifically designed for high-hydration, sticky doughs characteristic of ciabatta, minimising stress and maintaining open crumb structure.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel and other durable materials for hygiene and longevity.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a significant floor area is typically required, often several square metres, plus space for access and maintenance.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning of dough contact parts and periodic lubrication of moving components are typically required.
