Divider & Rounder
Divider & Rounder Production Line
The FG42P-350 divider and GY6-2500 rounder run as one pass, portioning 30-350 g at 1,000-6,000 pcs/h with variable-frequency speed regulation. The 75 kg hopper covers a full batch, and cutter extrusion is adjustable. 10 kW line, 380V or 220V, 1613 x 1436 x 1750 mm divider, 304 stainless steel.
Product Overview
The dough divider and rounder is a dough-processing machine in the Dough Dividing & Shaping category. It divides bulk dough into individual pieces of preset weight and rounds each piece into a uniform ball for industrial bakery lines. The standard configuration covers a 30-350 g weight range at 1,000-6,000 pcs/h, built in 304 stainless steel on 380V/220V.
Manual weighing, cutting and rounding set the pace on most lines, and the weight spread it leaves behind carries through proofing and baking. This machine replaces that stage with a continuous automated process. Dividing and rounding happen in one pass, so dough pieces reach the proofer at a stable weight and shape instead of waiting between two separate machines.
Key Features
- Integrated dividing and rounding: both operations run in one continuous pass, so dough moves from bulk to rounded ball without manual transfer between machines.
- 30-350 g weight range: covers bread, burger buns, dinner rolls and pizza dough on the same unit, with dividing parameters adjusted per product.
- 1,000-6,000 pcs/h capacity: variable frequency speed regulation lets the line run at the rate downstream proofing and baking can absorb.
- Accurate segmentation: cutter extrusion strength is adjustable to the dough, which holds piece weight steady across a production run.
- PLC control panel: operators set dividing parameters and production speed from one panel, and a handwheel adjusts dough division.
- Oil feeding device on the feeding bucket: handles high-moisture dough that would otherwise stick and divide unevenly.
- 304 stainless steel construction: food-contact surfaces and frame in one material, with a design built for simple maintenance and easy cleaning.
- Automatic greasing unit: an automatic pump drives lubrication, cutting the manual attention the dividing head needs.

Industrial Applications
- Dough divider rounder for bread production: plant bakeries running continuous bread lines divide bulk dough at 1,000-6,000 pcs/h and send uniform pieces straight to proofing, with cutter extrusion set to the dough’s strength.
- Dough divider rounder for burger bun production: bun manufacturers need piece weight held inside a tight band so every bun bakes to the same size; the piston divider and adjustable segmentation carry that weight through the run.
- Dough divider rounder for pizza dough: pizza dough is soft and can be high-moisture, so the oil feeding device on the feeding bucket keeps it moving and the conical rounder’s Teflon-coated channels handle the soft piece.
- Dough divider rounder for dinner roll production: roll lines at 3,000-6,000 pcs/h depend on continuous output, and variable frequency speed regulation matches the divider to the proofer’s intake.
- Dough divider rounder for sweet bun production: enriched, softer doughs round on the GY6-2500 conical rounder, whose adjustable channels cover 30-1300 g and hold rounding quality at both ends of the range.
- Dough divider rounder for central kitchens and frozen bakery plants: these facilities divide and round bulk dough for portioned bread, rolls and pizza bases, often running multiple products per shift; the variable frequency control and quick-change piston and knife assemblies let them switch weight ranges without stopping the line.
- Dough divider rounder for in-store supermarket bakeries and bakery chains: staff portion dough for baguettes, loaves and rolls on site, and the 75 kg hopper plus automatic greasing unit keep a short shift running without constant refilling or manual oiling.
- Dough divider rounder for commissary kitchens supplying restaurant chains: operators portion dough for sandwich bread, burger buns and pizza bases to a fixed weight spec, so each outlet receives pieces that bake to the same size.
- Dough divider rounder for frozen dough processors: pieces are divided and rounded before blast freezing, and stable piece weight from the piston divider keeps the frozen units within the weight band the customer ordered.
Key Advantages
Dividing and rounding in one pass removes the buffer of manually handled dough between two machines. Piece weight stays stable from the divider to the proofer. That stability keeps baked size and shape consistent across a shift.
The cutter’s adjustable extrusion strength is set to the dough in front of you, so segmentation stays accurate on soft and firm doughs alike. That accuracy is the difference between a fixed weight spec and a daily check-weighing problem.
Capacity from 1,000 to 6,000 pcs/h under variable frequency control means the machine can be matched to the line rather than the line to the machine. Speed changes for a product changeover are made at the control panel.
A 75 kg hopper and an automatic greasing unit reduce how often an operator has to stop and attend the machine. On high-moisture dough the oil feeding device is what keeps the run continuous.
304 stainless steel construction with easy piston and knife removal and a hopper that opens for cleaning shortens washdown time between products. Maintenance access is designed so cleaning can be done by anyone on the shift.

FAQ
How does the machine divide and round dough in one pass?
Bulk dough enters the machine and is divided into pieces at the preset weight, then each piece moves into the rounding system and is formed into a uniform ball before discharge. The whole sequence runs continuously, with no manual handling between dividing and rounding.
What weight range can the dough divider and rounder handle?
The standard FG42P-350 divider covers 30-350 g, running 30-150 g at up to 6,000 pcs/h and 150-350 g at 3,000 pcs/h. The GY6-2500 conical rounder extends rounding to 30-1300 g, and the FG21P-350 divider covers 350-1300 g pieces.
Can the machine handle soft or high-moisture dough?
Yes. The feeding bucket has an oil feeding device for high-moisture dough, and the GY6-2500 conical rounder is built for soft and non-standard dough, with Teflon-coated cone and channels.
Can the dough divider and rounder be connected to our existing proofing line?
The machine can be integrated with a dough mixer, divider elevator, proofing system, forming machine and automatic panning system. Conveying direction, discharge height and interfaces are designed to match your upstream and downstream equipment.
Can the dough divider rounder for burger bun production hold a fixed piece weight?
The piston divider is built for high weight accuracy, and cutter extrusion strength is adjustable to the dough. That combination holds piece weight steady across a bun production run.
What is the dough divider and rounder price?
Price depends on the model, the weight range and the options you specify, such as a larger hopper or the PLC and HMI control package. Send your product weight and required capacity and we will quote the configuration that fits.
What is the MOQ for a trial order?
MOQ depends on the configuration and whether the machine is a standard model or a customized build. Tell us the model and options you need, and we will confirm the minimum quantity with the quotation.
What is the lead time and how is the machine shipped?
Lead time is stated per configuration at order confirmation. Machines are packed for export container shipment with packing marks and documents prepared to your instructions, and port and trade terms are confirmed in the quotation.
Do you offer OEM machines and can we get a dough divider and rounder datasheet?
Yes, OEM and ODM work is part of our process, including machines built around your factory layout. We can supply a dough divider and rounder datasheet with the specifications for the model you are considering.
How do I choose a dough divider and rounder manufacturer?
Check the weight range and capacity against your product line, ask for the piston and knife change procedure, and confirm which doughs the rounder handles. We can send the datasheet and a configuration quote once you share your piece weight and required output.
