ISCA - Dough Trough Hoist

• Used in bakeries for transferring dough from troughs to mixers or dividers.
• Utilised in food manufacturing for lifting bulk ingredients into processing machinery.
• Applicable in confectionery production for handling large batches of mixes.
• Found in facilities requiring hygienic transfer of semi-solid food products.

Typical Lift Capacity

For this class of equipment, lift capacities commonly range from 200 kg to 500 kg, depending on the specific model and design.

Construction Material

Units of this type are typically constructed from 304-grade stainless steel, ensuring hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Power Supply

Commonly, these hoists operate on a three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, suitable for industrial applications.

Lift Height

Typical lift heights for standard models are often between 1.8 metres and 2.5 metres, accommodating various mixer and hopper heights.

Trough Compatibility

Units are generally designed to accommodate standard dough trough sizes, with customisation often available for specific dimensions.

Drive System

A motor gearbox driven system is commonly employed, providing controlled and reliable lifting.
