Rating of the best dough dividers for 2022

Dough dividers 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 compiled by foreign and domestic devices for dividing the test for 2022 of various price categories, with their own advantages and disadvantages.

General information about the product - selection criteria

The production technology of the dough dividing machine has several cycles. Each of the stages is important, if you consider them in detail, you can understand what division devices are.

How dough dividers work

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

1. The dough is placed in the receiving hopper, then it enters the loading chamber. During the operation of the main piston, the dough is drawn into the suction chamber.
2. The knife placed in the bunker separates a portion of the test.
3. The translational 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 mass adjustment mechanism with a linear scale.
4. Pieces are separated from the test mass by turning the dividing 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

If you know what devices exist, it will be clear how to choose them. According to the principle of installation: on wheels / fixed supports or a combined plan. All floor plan machines are heavy; a wheelbase was invented to move them.In some models, they are completely absent, 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 latter involve only manual laying of raw materials, the rest of the processes are performed autonomously (division, pressing, rounding). Electromechanical installations perform the same actions, except for laying, using special levers. The control panel may have buttons, rotary controls for the workpiece weight, indicator lights or an electronic display with buttons and a display.

By weight of blanks: for bread, confectionery or bakery products. Small-piece products are prepared in cafes, restaurants, trade areas, catering places. Bread - in stores with finished products or workshops specializing in this area.

Note! Not all installations can round off the separated pieces, as well as bake products from rye flour.

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

By material: stainless steel or combined type (plastic elements, aluminum, copper, etc.). all-metal structures - a classic option. To attract attention, the case can be painted with a special paint (spraying) and have separate parts made of plastic.

Note! All of the above parameters are set by the manufacturers. To the question of which company is better to purchase 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 for the goods, you need to build a plan for yourself:

• for what purposes the equipment is purchased;
• its functionality and equipment;
• where could I buy;
• what is the price.

For small rooms, compact devices of medium productivity are suitable, preferably with energy consumption up to 750 V with semi-automatic operation. For large-scale enterprises, autonomous equipment with high productivity, the ability to work with any dough and additional equipment is needed.

The goods can be 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.

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

You can order a dough divider online by request, by phone. To agree on a convenient time and date of delivery, and it is also possible to make the 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, a guarantee must be attached to the product. If it is not there, then it is better to refuse the purchase so as not to lose your funds in case of something, since test dividers cost a lot of money.
