Automatic High Hydration Bread Production Line Servo Divider Dough Rounder Proofer Forming Machine for Industrial Bakery

Product Overview

This automatic high-hydration bread production line integrates four core machines — a 4P servo dough divider, a dough rounder, an intermediate proofer and a one-out-two forming machine — into one continuous 23,000 mm workflow. It is engineered specifically for soft, sticky, high-hydration dough: servo-driven cutting keeps portion weight consistent, gentle rotary rounding protects the dough structure, and temperature-and-humidity-controlled proofing delivers uniform volume and internal structure from the first piece to the last.

The 4P servo divider is built on a Japanese servo motor, PLC and inverter, a precision linear guide and imported bearings, with a high-accuracy metering oil pump. With 2 outlets it handles 200-560 g pieces; with 8 outlets it handles 20-110 g pieces. Output ranges from 600 to 12,000 pieces per hour depending on outlet quantity and portion weight (calculated at a specific gravity of 1.20 g/cm3).

Applications

• Industrial bakeries producing toast bread, baguettes, ciabatta and other high-hydration breads
• Hamburger and hot-dog bun plants running continuous dividing-rounding-proofing-forming operations
• Central production kitchens supplying retail bakery chains with consistent portioned dough
• Lines requiring flexible recipe changeover: portion weight, rounding speed and proofing time are all settable
• Plants adding a pre-ferment stage: an optional pre-ferment proofer (9,000 x 6,500 mm, 16 trolleys) and sponge dough mixers integrate into the layout

Technical Specifications

Servo divider output by outlet quantity (specific gravity 1.20 g/cm3): 2 outlets 200-560 g / 600-3,000 pcs/h; 3 outlets 80-350 g / 900-4,500 pcs/h; 4 outlets 35-270 g / 1,200-6,000 pcs/h; 5 outlets 30-220 g / 1,500-7,500 pcs/h; 6 outlets 25-150 g / 1,800-9,000 pcs/h; 8 outlets 20-110 g / 2,400-12,000 pcs/h.

Advantages

• Servo-driven cutting designed for high-hydration dough: precise, stable operation with consistent portion weight across recipes
• Gentle rotary rounding gives uniform separation and a smooth dough surface, preparing ideal morphology for proofing and baking
• Precise temperature and humidity control ensures even proofing, plump appearance and uniform internal structure
• Real-time synchronized rolling and elongating connects seamlessly with dividing, rounding and proofing, reducing manual handling
• All processes — dividing, rounding, proofing, shaping — run automatically, minimizing dough exposure and damage
• Process parameters (portion weight, rounding speed, proofing time) are set on an intuitive interface for quick changeover

FAQ

1. What portion weights and outputs can the servo divider handle?
From 20 g to 560 g depending on outlet quantity: 2 outlets divide 200-560 g pieces at 600-3,000 pcs/h, 4 outlets divide 35-270 g at 1,200-6,000 pcs/h, and 8 outlets divide 20-110 g at 2,400-12,000 pcs/h (at 1.20 g/cm3 specific gravity).

2. Why is this line suitable for high-hydration dough?
The divider cuts with servo-driven precision instead of mechanical pressure, and the metering oil pump plus gentle rotary rounding handle soft, sticky dough without tearing or degassing, keeping portion weight stable.

3. What is the total footprint of the line?
The main line runs 23,000 mm in length. With the optional pre-ferment proofer (9,000 x 6,500 mm, 16 trolleys) and 8-in-8-out final proofer (about 35 minutes proofing, 1,500 loaves or about 4,800 pieces per batch), the full layout is planned to match your plant drawing.

4. What electrical and control standards are used?
All machines run on 380 V three-phase power. The divider uses a Japanese servo motor, PLC and inverter; the proofer and forming machine use a German PLC with imported three-phase motors and Japanese chains; linear guides and bearings are imported precision components.

5. Is installation and training included?
Factory acceptance test, wooden-case packaging and spare parts are included. Installation, commissioning and operator training are provided on site (2 persons, 15 days), shipped FOB any port of China.
