Efficient dough dump station for bakery systems
Streamline your dough handling process with this advanced dumping station, which enables seamless transfer of large dough batches into your production line while ensuring safety and operational efficiency.

Transfers and Dumps Large Dough Batches
The Dough Dump Station from Thomas L. Green offers an efficient solution for industrial bakeries and food processing facilities, focusing on the safe transfer of large dough batches. Its compact design minimizes floor space, while the direct-driven shaft reduces maintenance needs. This station ensures seamless integration with existing dough handling systems, designed to fit over plant floor openings or adjacent to systems like Dough Feeders and Laytime Conveyors.
Applications span across bakery products, from bread dough and pretzels to cookies and snack foods. The station supports continuous and manual operations, making it versatile for various production lines in bakery, snack, and pet food industries. The equipment is engineered to enhance operator safety with two-handed push-button controls and an interlocked lifting mechanism. Built under the SafeShield Program, it emphasizes both operator and food safety.
Custom-designed control systems allow for seamless PLC integration, enhancing operational efficiency through local control interfaces that keep operators clear of moving parts. This not only improves safety but also supports easy cleaning and maintenance, aligning with stringent sanitation standards. The Dough Dump Station is adaptable to several production needs, offering a solution that can sustain high-output manufacturing environments.
