Automated dough handling system for pretzel production
In modern bakery operations, manually handling dough between mixing and forming stages can result in inconsistent product quality and increased labor costs. Automating these processes ensures precision and efficiency, reducing human error and enhancing productivity.
Automatically portions, conditions, and transports dough
The DoughBot System from Reading Bakery Systems is a fully automated dough handling solution designed for high-precision applications. This system efficiently manages and transports dough from the mixer to downstream forming equipment, making it ideal for pretzel production. Key components include the Mixer Discharge Conveyor for moving large dough masses, the Loafmaker that forms manageable dough chunks, and a Lift Conveyor that transports these loaves to forming equipment. The Shuttle distributes dough evenly across the forming equipment hopper, ensuring uniformity. Capable of processing up to 4,000 pounds of dough per hour, the DoughBot System is modular and customizable to suit specific production line requirements. Its portable design and compliance with SafeShield Program standards ensure ease of cleaning, maintenance, and food safety.
