Benier - Conical Rounder

• Used in bakeries for gently rounding dough pieces after dividing.
• Essential for producing consistently shaped rolls, buns, and pizza bases.
• Integrated into automated bread production lines for continuous processing.
• Suitable for artisan bakeries and larger industrial operations requiring uniform dough balls.

Typical capacity

Typically processes dough pieces ranging from 30g to 1200g, depending on cone and track configuration.

Power supply

Commonly available in single-phase or three-phase configurations; this unit is specified as single-phase.

Throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput typically ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 pieces per hour, varying with dough type and piece size.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability, with a cast iron or steel frame.

Footprint

A conical rounder typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, though compact models may be smaller.

Adjustability

Many units feature adjustable rounding tracks and cone speeds to accommodate different dough types and desired rounding intensity.

• What is the primary function of a conical rounder?

  A conical rounder's primary function is to gently shape divided dough pieces into uniform, smooth balls, which helps to develop gluten and prepare the dough for subsequent processing steps.
