Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 kg to 200 kg of dough per batch, depending on the specific model and design.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements based on motor size.

Footprint

A press kneader typically occupies a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 1.0m to 2.5m x 1.5m, plus operational clearance.

Construction material

Components in contact with food are commonly made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Dough thickness adjustment

Units commonly feature adjustable rollers or pressing mechanisms to control the final dough sheet thickness.

Throughput

Throughput for a press kneader is typically dependent on batch size and operator efficiency, often processing several batches per hour.
