Dough Hopper

Our New WP Haton Dough Hopper provides bakers with accurate dough weight and consistency.

By using our pre-portioning WP HATON Dough Hopper, the pressure and the amount of dough in the hopper of the divider are controlled, which results in an accurate dough weight and consistency.

The Dough Hopper is used in automatic dough handling systems for feeding and portioning the complete batch of dough into the divider below. The level of the dough in the divider hopper is controlled by a photocell. When the minimum level has been reached, the pneumatic slide on the bottom of the hopper opens to feed the requested quantity of dough to the divider hopper. Both the pressure and the amount of dough in the hopper of the divider remain at a constant level, which assures an accurate weight and consistency.
