Unitech - Unitech Flour Duster

Applications & Use Cases

• Evenly dusting flour or other dry ingredients onto dough prior to processing.
• Preventing dough from sticking to conveyor belts, rollers, or other machinery components.
• Applying release agents or anti-stick powders in various food production lines.
• Used in bakeries, patisseries, and industrial food processing facilities.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, hopper capacities typically range from 5 to 25 kg of flour, depending on the model and intended throughput.

Power supply

Units commonly found on units of this type typically operate on a standard single-phase 230V, 50Hz supply, though some larger industrial versions may require three-phase power.

Dusting width

The effective dusting width typically varies from 300mm to 800mm, designed to match common conveyor belt or dough sheet widths.

Material construction

Components in contact with food are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 grade) for hygiene and durability.

Dusting mechanism

Commonly, these units utilise a rotating brush or vibrating sieve mechanism to ensure an even and controlled distribution of flour.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint is typically compact, designed for integration into existing production lines, with dimensions commonly around 400-900mm in width and 500-1200mm in length.
