Shaffer® Dough Conveyors are designed to optimize dough transfer and maintain consistent product flow in high-throughput bakery operations. Incline conveyors offer smooth, flighted, or cupped belts, while horizontal conveyors provide reversing capabilities for flexible layouts. Positive drive belts eliminate slippage and tracking issues, and optional integrated controls enhance automation, sanitation, and operational efficiency.
Reliable performance across batch sizes
Models can handle batch capacities from less than 273 kg (600 lbs) up to 1,458 kg (3,200 lbs), with hopper volumes from 601L(21.2cu ft) to 2,683L (94.8 cu ft). Variable speed motors allow conveyors to match downstream line speeds for smooth, uninterrupted dough handling.
Hygienic construction for industrial environments
All systems feature heavy-duty stainless steel frames, UHMW belt supports, metal-detectable belt scrapers, and NEMA 4X operator enclosures. Shaffer® Dough Conveyors meet BISSC, UL, cUL, ANSI, USDA, and CE standards, providing a safe and sanitary solution for 24/7 production.
Operator-friendly controls and integration options
Conveyor controls can be standalone or integrated with other dough handling equipment. Optional features like quick-release belts, cut-off knives, and custom control packages, enhance sanitation, automation, and operational flexibility.
