The DDR series portions dough into uniform pieces and rounds them into smooth balls in one step — 1,000 to 12,000 pieces per hour at ±1 g accuracy. The front of every industrial bread and bun line.
A suction-and-piston head divides the dough mass into equal volumes, then the conical rounding drum rolls each piece into a taut, smooth ball — the shape that proofs evenly and bakes with a symmetrical crumb. Three pistons (small, medium, large) set the weight range; a swap takes five minutes.
| Model | Output | Piece weight | Accuracy | Pistons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DDR-101 | 1,000–4,000 pcs/h | 30–250 g | ±2 g | 3 included |
| DDR-001 | 4,000–8,000 pcs/h | 30–500 g | ±1 g | 3 included |
| DDR-201 | 8,000–12,000 pcs/h | 30–500 g | ±1 g | 3 + auto hopper |
Typical values — piston set and rounding time are configured to your dough and weight range.
Accuracy depends on dough consistency: stable hydration from the DKM spiral kneader is what makes ±1 g realistic hour after hour. We tune piston pressure and rounding speed on your dough during commissioning.
Bread, bun, pizza ball, and sweet doughs from 50–75% hydration. Wetter dough runs with more dusting flour on the drum.
Rounded balls feed your proofer, then the HAB hot air oven or the SUM steamed bun machine. The flour-food family is on the pasta processing hub.
30–500 g depending on piston set; three pistons (small, medium, large) ship with the machine and swap in five minutes.
±1 g per piece on the DDR-001 and DDR-201, ±2 g on the DDR-101 — at stable dough consistency.
A conical rounding drum with a flour-dusted surface rolls each portion into a taut, smooth ball.
50–75% typical; wetter dough needs more dusting flour and slightly slower drum speed.
Yes — the piston sets the volume range, fine adjustment is at the suction stroke, and a swap takes five minutes.
Daily clean of the dividing head and drum, monthly piston seal check.
One — the DDR-201 with the auto hopper runs unattended between dough top-ups.
Yes — sweet and enriched doughs run with the drum speed reduced; Esper Foodtech Engineering sets the profiles with you.
