SOFT STAR CT: The Hygienic High-Performance Dough Dividing and Moulding Machine
The Soft Star CT dough dividing and moulding machine produces dough balls with extremely high quality and weight accuracy. Its special architecture makes it extremely easy to clean.
The SOFT STAR CT is a state-of-the-art dough dividing and moulding machine engineered to deliver exceptional performance, efficiency, and precision. This powerful head machine is renowned for producing dough pieces of outstanding quality and exceptional weight accuracy, making it a preferred choice for bakeries seeking consistent results and operational excellence.
At the heart of the SOFT STAR CT is its optimal design for processing small-baked-goods dough, especially those with high dough absorption and bowl rest requirements. With its robust construction and powerful drives, the machine is specifically built to handle the rigorous demands of multi-shift operations, ensuring durability and reliability over extended periods of use.
One of the standout features of the SOFT STAR CT is its user-friendly design. Excellent ergonomics, intuitive controls, and easy-to-change parts contribute to straightforward handling and operation. The machine’s architecture also prioritizes hygiene, with a clear separation between the drive and dough processing areas. All components that come into contact with dough are easily accessible, enabling thorough, efficient cleaning. Additional features, such as flour-collection drawers and ample ground clearance, further simplify maintenance and uphold high sanitation standards.
Accuracy is a hallmark of the SOFT STAR CT. The machine ensures very high weight precision, with a +/- 1g margin. This level of accuracy not only guarantees product consistency but also reduces resource waste by minimizing dough waste. The dividing process is gentle, safeguarding dough structure and quality while the precise rounding mechanism preserves the integrity of all dough types, resulting in uniform, high-quality baked goods.
Safety is deeply embedded in the SOFT STAR CT’s design philosophy. The powerful machine is engineered to ensure safe process flows, with robust construction supporting sustained use in demanding environments. Its accessibility and clear component separation further enhance operator safety during both operation and cleaning.
The SOFT STAR CT is equipped with advanced features and options that support gentle dough handling and consistent product quality. The preportioner, operated by two pairs of rollers and star rollers, provides continuous and accurate dough feeding. For added convenience, the preportioner is movable, making cleaning and maintenance easier.
The intermediate hopper is another innovative feature. It is easily removable for cleaning and locks automatically when reinserted, streamlining both hygiene and workflow. The intermediate belt, positioned between the measuring drum and moulding drum, allows the dough a brief relaxation phase, which significantly improves moulding results.
A spreading belt attachment efficiently transports moulded dough balls to subsequent processing modules, with adjustable spacing and height to suit various product and process requirements. The feeding piston, with its infinitely variable pressure, protects the dough and can also be removed for cleaning.
The measuring drum can be configured as either a mono-measuring drum supporting a single weight range or a multi-measuring drum supporting two distinct weight ranges. Special processes during dividing, along with the use of a gentle mouthpiece, ensure both high weight accuracy and minimal stress on the dough. Its large opening allows for easy cleaning and inspection.
The moulding drum, with its large diameter, provides extended moulding time and two moulding rounds for optimal results and relaxed dough balls. These drums can be changed quickly without tools, enhancing flexibility and minimizing downtime. The open flour duster offers controlled, even flouring of dough pieces, ensuring product quality and consistency.
Optional features include block-off for outer rows, transparent intermediate hoppers, removable intermediate belts, pressure rollers, centering units, electrically adjustable spreading belts, and KEMPER KEY access control. Additional options include accessory trolleys, automatic gearbox lubrication, enhanced oiling for very soft doughs, and drainage holes in the drive base, further customizing the machine to meet specific production needs.
In summary, the SOFT STAR CT sets the standard for dough dividing and moulding machines with its blend of precision, hygiene, safety, and robust performance. Its thoughtful design and comprehensive options ensure that bakeries can achieve high product quality, efficient operations, and long-term reliability.
