Industrial dough divider and rounder for rolls and buns

Achieve precise, high-speed dough dividing and rounding for consistent rolls and buns, optimizing production efficiency with seamless integration in your bakery process.

Divides and Rounds Dough for Rolls and Buns

The SOFT STAR CTi from WP Kemper is an industrial dough divider and rounder designed specifically for high-volume baking environments. It is engineered to deliver exceptional precision and consistency, capable of processing up to 57,600 dough pieces per hour. The SOFT STAR CTi is particularly adept at handling various dough types, from soft and sophisticated doughs to those with sensitive inclusions, making it ideal for producing end-products such as Kaiser rolls, Ciabatta rolls, Brioche buns, and more.

Employing high-performance drives and a reinforced stainless steel frame, this machine ensures reliability in continuous, high-speed operations. Its unique dividing and moulding system maintains weight accuracy within +/- 1g due to a specialized feeding piston and measuring drum process, allowing for precise and gentle dough handling. The modular design facilitates straightforward integration into existing production lines and offers easy access for cleaning and maintenance, significantly reducing downtime.

The SOFT STAR CTi supports full automation through its efficient process flow, enhanced by features such as adjustable moulding revolutions and interchangeable moulding drums. These capabilities, coupled with optional customizations like automatic lubrication and additional dough oiling, provide flexible solutions tailored to specific production needs. Whether used in industrial or commercial bakeries, the SOFT STAR CTi consistently delivers high-quality, perfectly rounded dough balls ready for further processing or baking.
