Multi-functional Dough Forming Production Line
The ZL-180 multi-functional forming line twist-divides 1,000-7,200 pcs/h and cuts 1,000-12,000 pcs/h, at 12-660 g per piece and deviation within 5 g. It links the ZL-630 sheeter, ZL-631 divider, ZL-180 former and ZL-A28 encruster on one frame. 7.5 kW, 380V or 220V, 14650 x 1350 x 1700 mm, 3,000 kg.
Product Overview
The ZL-180 multi functional dough forming line is a modular pastry and bread production line for bakeries and food factories that shape hand-tear bread, shredded pork cake, flaky pastry, green bean cake, wife cake, crystal cake, Su-style moon cake, buns, horse hooves cake, hamburger, jam bun, lotus seed paste bun, breakfast bread, caterpillar bread, joy luck cake, toast, twist bread, butterfly bread and sesame seed cake. It runs on 7.5 kW, covers a finished piece weight of 12g to 660g, and reaches 1,000 to 12,000 pieces per hour depending on the shaping method.
Two-roller sheet finishing gives the dough a glossier surface and holds product quality stable, with weight deviation under 5g. Synchronous speed control keeps the sheeting, dividing and forming units running together, so a bakery can move from one product to the next by changing peripheral units and cutters instead of buying a second line.
Key Features
- Two-roller sheet finishing: the dough sheet comes out glossier and holds a stable quality through the run.
- Modular peripheral configuration: units can be placed and varied within 270 degrees to suit the product layout.
- Piece weight range of 12g to 660g: one line covers small pastries and larger breads.
- Weight deviation under 5g: baked piece counts and pack weights stay predictable.
- Twist dividing at 1,000-7,200 p/h and cutting at 1,000-12,000 p/h: throughput is matched to the shaping method.
- Matching cutters change the product shape without changing the line.
- Synchronous speed control links the sheeting, dividing and forming sections.
- Low running temperature: the machine does not heat up in operation and does not damage the dough.

Industrial Applications
- Dough forming line for bread production: bakeries running toast, breakfast bread, twist bread and caterpillar bread use the two-roller sheet finishing and cutting section to hold piece weight within 5g across a 1,000-12,000 p/h shift.
- Pastry forming machine for moon cake: Su-style moon cake, wife cake and green bean cake producers add the ZL-A60 filling depositor and matching cutters so the same line handles several filled pastry recipes.
- Multi purpose dough line for pastry: flaky pastry, crystal cake and horse hooves cake plants use the modular peripheral layout within 270 degrees to fit the line into an existing production hall.
- Dough forming line for filled buns: jam bun, lotus seed paste bun and hamburger lines run the depositor with the pinch dough unit, where three entrances control the filled piece weight.
- Pastry forming machine for flaky pastry: pastry shops and central kitchens use the ZL-630 sheeting unit at 0.8-1.8 cm thickness with automatic powdering to keep the sheet from sticking during lamination.
- Sample and trial runs: bakeries and central kitchens testing a new recipe send their dough and filling samples, and we run them on the ZL-630, ZL-631 and ZL-180 units to confirm sheet thickness, piece weight and cutter choice before the line is specified.
Key Advantages
- Two-roller finishing on the forming unit raises the surface gloss of the dough sheet. The stable sheet holds weight deviation under 5g on baked pieces.
- A modular layout that varies within 270 degrees lets a factory fit the line around existing ovens and packing stations rather than rebuilding the hall.
- Changing cutters and peripheral units converts the same line between products, so a bakery producing toast in the morning and moon cake in the afternoon does not carry two lines.
- Synchronous speed control across sheeting, dividing and forming keeps throughput matched. That is what makes the 1,000-12,000 p/h cutting rate usable in practice.
- The machine runs without heating up, and the dough is not damaged in the process. This matters for yeast doughs that are sensitive to temperature rise during shaping.
- The multi functional dough forming line is assembled and tested in-house, so the sheeting, dividing, forming and depositing units arrive as one matched configuration rather than separate machines to align on site.
How to Choose the Right Configuration
| ZL-180 with cutting section | suits toast, breakfast bread and flat breads where piece shape comes from a cutter; the 1,000-12,000 p/h cutting rate is the deciding figure. |
|---|---|
| ZL-180 with twist dividing | suits twist bread, butterfly bread and similar twisted shapes; capacity is 1,000-7,200 p/h. |
| ZL-180 plus ZL-A60 depositor | suits jam bun, lotus seed paste bun and filled pastry where the buyer needs a filling station; choose it when the recipe carries jam, chopped meat or thick stuffing. |
| ZL-180 plus ZL-A28 pinch dough unit | suits buns and hamburger where the weight is set by the three entrances and the 9-circle knit shape. |
| ZL-180 plus ZL-A58 shuttle planner | suits plants that pack into trays and want servo placement with 99-set memory and parallel or cross arrangement. |
| ZL-630 sheeting unit | suits any line where sheet thickness between 0.8 and 1.8 cm and automatic powdering decide the product. |
Why Choose Us
We quote the configuration that fits your product list, so the multi functional dough forming line price you receive matches the cutters and peripheral units you actually need. The sheeting, dividing, forming and cutting units are built as one coordinated line, which keeps spare parts and service under one supplier. Buyers sourcing from a multi functional dough forming line supplier China can request the full datasheet for each unit, including the ZL-630, ZL-631, ZL-180, ZL-A60, ZL-A28, ZL-A10 and ZL-A58, before placing an order. The multi functional dough forming line datasheet lists power, dimensions and weight for every unit, so you can compare configurations side by side. Spare cutters, knife dish loads and depositor parts are supplied against the model numbers on this page, so a replacement is ordered by part, not by description. OEM and custom size requests are handled at quotation stage, including the revised sizes offered on the ZL-A10 cutting unit.Factory Strength
The line is assembled and tested in-house from the ZL-630 sheeting and kneading unit through the ZL-631 sheet dividing and shaping unit to the ZL-180 forming unit and the peripheral machines. Each unit is run before packing: the sheeting unit is checked for sheet thickness across the 0.8-1.8 cm setting and for powder feed, the forming unit for synchronous speed with the dividing section, and the depositor for filling flow across its 10 sizes. Units are built in 304 stainless steel where the material specifies it, and the completed line is packed for export against the buyer’s voltage requirement.Quality Control
Incoming stainless steel and electrical components are checked against the unit they belong to before assembly. Each machine is run at the factory: the ZL-630 for sheet thickness and automatic powdering, the ZL-180 for weight deviation under 5g and synchronous speed, and the depositor for all 10 filling exit sizes. Final inspection confirms dimensions, power rating and voltage against the order.
