Feeding hoppers for dough production lines
In the industrial bakery sector, maintaining a consistent dough level in the lower divider is crucial for optimal production efficiency. Traditional feeding methods often struggle with synchronization issues, causing operational delays and inconsistent dough quality.
Streamlined dough feeding with Plc control
The ESH line of feeding hoppers from Escher Mixers (Middleby) includes both fixed and translating models designed for use in dough production lines. These hoppers are constructed from stainless steel and have optional Teflon-coated surfaces to facilitate cleaning. The translating version can serve multiple production lines simultaneously, helping maintain consistent dough levels and boosting overall efficiency. They feature a portioning system that is entirely dismountable for thorough cleaning. Additionally, the translating hoppers are equipped with a programmable logic controller (PLC) to synchronize the elevator, oiling system, and output points, ensuring seamless operation. Various dimensions and heights are available to fit specific production line requirements.
Benefits
- Consistent dough levels for efficient production
- PLC control for synchronization
- Easy-to-clean with dismountable parts
- Option for Teflon-coated surfaces
- Versatile design for multiple production lines
