Rating of the best dough dividers for 2024

Dough dividing machines are needed in large and small enterprises related to baking. They can be of different sizes, with the type of control and capabilities, which determines their cost. The review was made by foreign and domestic devices for dividing the test for 2024 of various price categories, with their own advantages and disadvantages.

General information about the product - selection criteria

The production technology of the dough divider has several cycles. Each of the stages is important, if you consider them in detail, you can understand what kind of devices for fission are.

The principle of operation of dough dividers

The equipment, regardless of its structural structure, operates according to a given cycle:

1. The dough is placed in the receiving hopper, then it enters the loading chamber. When the main piston operates, the dough is drawn into the suction chamber.
2. A knife placed in the hopper separates the dough portion.
3. The forward movement of the head piston feeds the dough forward into the measuring chamber of the drum of the long mechanism. The weight of the workpieces is set by the handwheel of the weight adjustment mechanism with a linear scale.
4. The pieces are separated from the dough mass by turning the indexing mechanism, which is located in the suction chamber. The piston pushes the workpiece out of the measuring chamber.

Classification of dough dividers - what machines are there

If you know what devices exist, it will be clear how to choose them. Installation principle: on wheels / fixed supports or combined plan. All floor machines are heavy, and a wheelbase was invented to move them. In some models, they are absent altogether, in others they are half composed of wheels (rear axle) or have removable fixed supports, adjustable in height, and a wheel is mounted next to each support.

By type of control: mechanical / automatic. The second involves only manual loading of raw materials, the rest of the processes are performed autonomously (division, pressing, rounding). Electromechanical installations perform the same actions, except for the bookmark, using special levers. The control panel can have buttons, rotary regulators of the workpiece weight, indicator lights or an electronic board with buttons and a display.

By weight of workpieces: for bread, confectionery or bakery products. Small-piece products are prepared in cafes, restaurants, trade zones, catering places. Bread - in shops with ready-made products or workshops specializing in this area.

Note! Not all machines can round off the separated pieces or bake rye flour products.

By network connection: 220 V or 380 V (requires specialist intervention). Some manufacturers supply one model for sale with two types of voltage.

By material: stainless steel or combined type (plastic elements, aluminum, copper, etc.). fully metal structures are the classic option. To attract attention, the body can be painted with a special paint (spray) and have separate plastic parts.

Note! All the listed parameters are set by the manufacturers. When asked which company is better to buy a separating machine, the client must decide for himself.

Selection tips - what to look for when buying a dough divider

Based on the information presented above, when going to buy a product, you need to build a plan for yourself:

• for what purposes the equipment is purchased;
• its functionality and equipment;
• where can I buy;
• how much is.

For small rooms, compact devices of average performance are suitable, preferably with an energy consumption of up to 750 V with semi-automatic operation. Large-scale enterprises need autonomous equipment with high performance, the ability to work with any test and additional equipment.

The product can be of domestic and foreign production. If this fact is important for the client, then it is better to immediately familiarize yourself with the description of the technique.

Purchase of a dough divider

Recently, it has become popular to place an order in an online store: convenient, fast, always a wide range of products at affordable prices.

Customer reviews, video reviews and a description of the product will help you not to make mistakes when choosing (some platforms have instructions for the car).

You can order an online dough divider by request, by phone. To agree on a convenient time and date of delivery, and it is also possible to make equipment according to the specified parameters, convenient for the client.

Regardless of the place of purchase: whether it is a virtual or a real store, the product must be accompanied by a guarantee. If it is not there, then it is better to abandon the purchase so as not to lose your funds in case of something, since dough dividers cost a lot of money.
