Dough Trough Hoist

• Bakeries use these hoists to lift and tip large dough troughs into mixers or dividers.
• Food processing plants utilise them for transferring bulk ingredients from containers to processing machinery.
• Confectionery manufacturers employ them for handling and dispensing large batches of mixes or ingredients.
• Industrial kitchens and catering facilities use them for ergonomic transfer of heavy food items.

Typical Lift Capacity

For this class of equipment, lift capacities commonly range from 200 kg to 600 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 corrosion resistance.

Power Supply

Commonly, these hoists operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, suitable for industrial environments.

Lift Height

Typical lift heights are designed to accommodate standard mixer or hopper heights, often ranging from 1.5m to 3m.

Drive System

A motor gearbox driven system is standard, providing controlled and reliable lifting and tipping actions.
