ZL-A10 Cutting Machine
The ZL-A10 cuts continuous dough into pieces of 15-350 g at 1,000-12,000 p/h, mounted inline with the main forming machine. Cutting length is set freely on the panel for each product, and the clutch drive holds cutter speed under load. 1.5 kW, 380V or 220V, 2200 x 600 x 1380 mm, SUS304 frame.
Product Overview
The ZL-A10 is a dough cutting machine in the ZL-180 Series Machines range, built to run inline with a main forming machine and cut continuous dough into fixed-weight pieces for bakeries and pastry plants. It handles 15-350 g pieces at 1,000-12,000 p/h, with the cutting length set freely for each run, and the frame is SUS304.
For a line that changes product size between shifts, the value is in the reset. The operator sets the length once, the clutch transmission holds speed under load, and the safety guard stays in place while the cutter runs. That keeps portion weight consistent without stopping the line to re-tool.
Key Features
- Free-set cutting length: change piece size between runs without changing the cutter body, so one machine covers a range of products.
- Clutch transmission: the cutter holds its speed under load, which keeps piece weight steady through a long production shift.
- Output of 1,000-12,000 p/h: the same unit scales from a small pastry batch to a full bread-roll line.
- Weight range of 15-350 g per piece: one cutter covers small pastries and larger dough pieces without a second machine.
- Safety protection device: the guard is part of the standard build, so operators work close to the cutting point with less risk.
- SUS304 construction: the food-contact frame resists corrosion and wipes down between products.
- Inline with the main machine: the cutter mounts into an existing forming line rather than running as a separate station.

Industrial Applications
- Pastry cutting machine for bakery lines: pastry plants running laminated and shortcrust dough set the cutting length for each product and cut 15-350 g pieces at line speed; the clutch drive keeps the weight steady through the shift.
- Dough cutting machine for bread rolls: roll lines feeding a divider and proofer use the ZL-A10 to portion dough at up to 12,000 p/h, with the free-set length matching the roll size on the line.
- Automatic dough cutter for pastry production: high-volume pastry operations mount the cutter inline with the main machine so cut pieces move straight to the next stage without manual handling.
- Dough cutting machine for portioned dough pieces: bakeries that change product size during the day reset the cutting length between runs instead of stopping to change tooling.
- Dough cutting machine for trial and sample runs: bakeries, R&D kitchens and ingredient suppliers use single-unit trials to portion sample dough pieces at a set weight before committing a line to a new recipe.
- Dough cutting machine for laboratory and sample testing: lab technicians and QA staff at flour mills, ingredient suppliers and food research labs cut small sample batches to a set piece weight for texture, proof and bake tests.
- Dough cutting machine for pilot lines and scale-up: pilot plants and process engineers run the ZL-A10 on a short line to confirm piece weight and output before a full bakery line is specified.

Key Advantages
- The clutch transmission holds cutter speed under load, so piece weight stays inside the 15-350 g range through a full shift rather than drifting as the line warms up.
- Output spans 1,000-12,000 p/h, which means a single ZL-A10 can serve a small pastry batch and a full roll line without a second machine on the floor.
- Free-set cutting length removes the tooling change between products; the operator sets the length and restarts, and the line is back in production.
- SUS304 build keeps the food-contact frame cleanable and corrosion-resistant, which matters on lines that run wet dough and wash down between products.
- The safety protection device is part of the standard machine, so the guard is in place from the first day of operation rather than added later.
How to Choose the Right Configuration
| ZL-A10 at 380V | production lines on three-phase supply; the standard choice for a full bakery line. |
|---|---|
| ZL-A10 at 220V | smaller plants or sites wired for single-phase power. |
| ZL-A10 inline with the main machine | bakeries and pastry plants running a continuous forming line, where cut pieces feed straight to the next stage. |
| ZL-A10 for 15-350 g pieces | buyers whose product range sits inside this weight band; outside it, confirm the piece size before ordering. |

FAQ
What piece weight range can the ZL-A10 cut?
The machine handles 15-350 g per piece, depending on product size. Confirm your target weight with us before ordering so the cutting length is set for your range.
How does the clutch transmission affect cut quality?
The clutch drive keeps cutter speed stable under load, which holds piece weight consistent through a long run. That is the main reason output stays steady at higher speeds.
Can the ZL-A10 run inline with our existing forming machine?
Yes. The cutter works with the main machine to produce cut-off products. Share your line layout and we will confirm the mounting arrangement.
Can the ZL-A10 be used for pastry cutting on a laminated dough line?
The pastry cutting machine setup is the same inline arrangement: the cutting length is set for the pastry size and the cutter runs at line speed. Tell us the dough type and piece weight and we will confirm the setting.
What is the dough cutting machine price for one unit?
Price depends on voltage and configuration. Send your piece weight range and required output and we will quote the dough cutting machine price for your line.
Who is the dough cutting machine manufacturer and where is the machine built?
The ZL-A10 is built by our factory as the dough cutting machine manufacturer; the unit is assembled and run-tested at our plant before packing. Ask your sales engineer for the build details that apply to your order.
What is your MOQ for a trial order?
MOQ is confirmed at quotation and depends on the configuration. A single unit can be arranged for a trial; tell us your line details and we will confirm.
What is the lead time and what payment terms do you accept?
Lead time is confirmed at quotation once the configuration is fixed. Payment terms are agreed with the order; ask your sales engineer for the terms that apply to your market.
Do you supply a dough cutting machine datasheet with the quotation?
Yes. The dough cutting machine datasheet covers dimensions, power, output range and piece weight range, and is sent with the quotation so your engineering team can check the fit.
Is the safety guard included as standard?
Yes. The safety protection device is part of the standard build, not an optional extra. It is checked in position during the run test before packing.
