Scobie Mcintosh Bakery Engineers Limited
Dough Dividers

Full lines and individual machines by Swedish Manufacturer Glimek are the result of over 50 years of experience of developing, manufacturing and supplying breadplants for all types of bakery worldwide. Glimek's philosophy has always been to work closely with the dealer and end-user in order to produce flexible breadplant with high capacity, ease of use and maximum efficiency.

Throughout the UK,  lines are in use by major supermarket groups and bulk manufacturers, and many independent bakers, for whom quality is a watchword, are taking advantage of single machines.

A complete Glimek Breadplant and a Fortuna Rollplant are available for viewing at Scobie & McIntosh (Bakery Engineers) Ltd's Test Bakery. To arrange viewing/demonstrations, or for further information call 01924 432 940 or e-mail us with your contact details and information requirements. 

Dough Divider

 
Suction Dough Divider SD-180 (SD180XL)

The Glimek SD-180 is an automatic suction-fed dough divider for all types of dough make up. Strong frame construction, high weighing accuracy combined with easy handling and maintenance makes SD-180 the machine for all types of bakeries.

Accessories
• Mini piston and adapter for dough weight between 45 and 300 grams.
  • Extra large 225 litre hopper.
• Flour duster in stainless steel.   • Mechanical piece counter.
• Elevator type EC with two parallel conveyors.   • Electronic preset piece counter.
    • Hopper guard to meet CE requirements

 

   
  DOUGH HOPPER   OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
One piece stainless steel hopper, 100 litres (approx.70 kgs of dough), with blasted inside all way down to the dough-knife ensures smooth feeding.
Controls for speed, dough weight, suction volume and on/off push buttons are located at the front of the machine. Stainless steel covers, removable side panels, collecting trays, foldable top covers and easy disassembly and assembly of vital parts, makes the daily cleaning and maintenance very easy to perform without tools. The machine is movable on impact resistant nylon wheels.
  SUCTION MECHANISM   LUBRICATION
Patented two-way, three step, spring load feed mechanism, adjustable while the machine is running, gives gentle dough treatment and improves bread quality.
The dividing mechanism is continuously lubricated from an adjustable oil pump. White oil level is visible at front, and the reservoir, with a capacity of 17 litres, is easily filled at top of the machine.
  DIVIDING MECHANISM   SAFETY
Dough knife of wear resistant stainless steel, half-round suction brass piston and measuring piston of acetal plastic material, ensures high weighing accuracy and easy handling and cleaning. Dough weight easily adjustable via handwheel with built in scale. The dough knife has a built in, self restoring safety release mechanism, protecting the transmission if any hard object accidentally should fall into the hopper.
All moving parts are built in and covers on sides and on top as well as the integrated footstep are protected with electrical security switches. The motor is equipped with a brake which stops the machine immediately if the current cuts off e.g. if operator opens a protection cover.
  TRANSMISSION  
The machine is powered by an 1.1 kW electric motor, via infinitely variable pulley and chain transmissions. Dough knife and pistons are driven by crankshaft and a rigid lever system.

Suction Dough Divider   Suction Dough Divider SD-300 (SD300XL)

The Glimek SD-300 is a state of the art automatic suction-fed dough divider for all types of dough make up. The SD-300 is possible to use either as 1-pocket or as 2-pocket divider. Strong frame construction, high weighing accuracy combined with easy handling and maintenance makes the SD-300 the machine for all types of bakeries. A waffle structure belt prevents dough from sticking.

     
Dough hopper
A stainless steel conical hopper all the way down to the dough-knife, ensures correct feeding of the dough into the suction-chamber. The hopper has a capacity of 100 litres (approx. 70 kg of dough).
  Drive
The drive consists of a 1.5 kW worm gear box with a frequency converter as standard. The dough knife and pistons are driven via a crankshaft with heavy connecting arms. Smooth and easy movement provides an almost silent machine.
     
Suction mechanism
A patented two-way, three step, spring load feed mechanism, adjustable while the machine is running, gives gentle dough treatment and improves bread quality.

The dividing mechanism is manufactured from high quality NI-resistant steel. a dough knife of stainless steel, suction brass piston and measuring piston of food approved plastic material, ensures high weighing accuracy and easy handling and cleaning. Dough weight is easily adjustable via the handwheel. The dough knife has a built in, self-restoring safety release mechanism, protecting the transmission if any hard object accidentally should fall into the hopper.

A specially designed scraper system ensures that the ejected dough-pieces drop onto the correct position on the discharge conveyor.

The two conveyors transport the dough-pieces to the check weigher or rounder. The conveyors are driven by a separate worm gear box which is co-ordinated with the speed of the machine. It is also possible to fine-tune the adjustment of the speed on the belts on the touch screen. As a 2-pocket machine the second belt has a higher speed to separate the dough pieces. Working as a 1-pocket machine the two belts have the same speed. If needed a flour duster could be mounted, as option, on the first conveyor.

  Operating and maintenance
The machine is supplied with a PLC control including a touch screen as standard. On this menu based system, the user can easily control the speed of the machine and fine tune the speed of the belts. As standard, there are two ways of counting - piece counting and count down. On the screen it is also easy to check the weight through a reference scale. A separate service menu is included. Stainless steel covers, removable side panels, collecting trays, foldable top covers and easy disassembly and assembly of vital parts, make daily cleaning and maintenance very easy to perform without special tools. The machine is movable on impact resistant nylon castors. The dividing mechanism is continuously lubricated from a centrally adjustable oil pump. The oil level is visible at front, and the reservoir, with a capacity of 11 litres, is easily filled from the top of the machine.

Also, the mechanical operated scraper system has, as standard, lubrication from the centrally placed oil pump. This lubrication points have an on/off options. All moving parts are built in, and covers on the sides top are protected by electrical security switches. The motor is equipped with a brake which stops the machine immediately if the current cuts off e.g. if operator opens a protection cover.
