Sottoriva - Independent Long Moulder

• Producing various types of elongated bread loaves, such as baguettes, tin loaves, and rolls.
• Shaping dough for pastries and other baked goods requiring a consistent, elongated form.
• Integrating into automated bakery lines for high-volume dough processing.
• Used in artisan bakeries and larger production facilities to ensure uniform product shape and size.

Typical capacity

Typically processes dough pieces ranging from 50g to 1500g, depending on the specific model and configuration.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying by motor size.

Construction material

Units of this type, such as the Sottoriva, are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, dimensions commonly range from 1500mm to 2500mm in length, 700mm to 1000mm in width, and 1200mm to 1600mm in height.

Belt condition

The condition of the moulding belts is critical for performance; 'fair belts' suggests they are functional but may require future replacement.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and inspection of belts, rollers, and motors are typical maintenance requirements for long moulders.

• What types of dough can this long moulder process?

  Independent long moulders are typically suitable for a wide range of dough types, including wheat, rye, and mixed grain doughs, provided the consistency is appropriate for mechanical moulding.

• What does 'serviced' mean for a used unit?

• Are spare parts readily available for Sottoriva equipment?

• What should I check when inspecting the 'fair belts'?

• Does this unit come with any warranty?

Dough dividers and rounders are valued in bakeries for their consistency and labour savings. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction and reliable portioning accuracy when selecting used models. Industry sentiment reflects appreciation for machines that handle various dough types without jamming. Common strengths include durability of mechanical components and straightforward maintenance. Potential buyers should inspect wear on rollers and dividing mechanisms, verify motor function, and confirm spare parts availability before purchase.
