SERVOTECH BREAD DIVIDER
FEATURES
&
BENEFITS
ELECTRICAL FEATURES
• Scaling accuracy of ±1% on most doughs.
• Servo drives and recipe control logic allows the most accurate control of pressure inside dough chamber for
various dough types. Ram and knife strokes can also be adjusted relative to scaling weight. This concept
controls dough chamber volume and maintains first-in, first-out dough processing. The electronically
controlled motions can also be customized for specific applications, and recalled by recipe management while
using all standard mechanical components.
• Ram and knife electronic linear actuators replace cams, bushings, levers and grease points thus reducing
maintenance, extending machine life and accuracy by eliminating backlash from wear.
• High pressure lubrication distribution system insures proper lubrication of surfaces while reducing oil
consumption.
• Servo drives also provide electronic torque limiting functions to protect machines from foreign objects,
individual axis forward/reverse jog function to clear obstruction, and single touch cleaning position for faster
maintenance and sanitation.
• Stainless steel and plastic materials for dough contact surfaces and lighter ram and piston assemblies facilitate
cleaning and handling.
• Automatic primary and secondary conveyor speed management maintain dough ball spacing at different
operating rates.
• Rigid stainless steel frame and rear door design offers unmatched access in the volumetric divider for quick
and complete sanitation.
