Dough kibbler
Industrial dough breaker for food & bakery production
Biscuit & cracker dough feeding system
Coperion’s Shaffer Dough Kibbler is engineered to efficiently break up dry and stiff dough masses into manageable chunks for seamless downstream processing. It gently conveys the full dough batch through rotating tine cutters, producing “kibbled” pieces ready for feeding into forming or sheeting equipment at capacities up to 6,800 kg/hr (15,000 lb/hr).
Built for industrial bakeries and food processors, the system enhances dough flow, improves production efficiency, and supports high-capacity operations with hygienic, heavy-duty construction.
Ideal applications include:
- Biscuits
- Cookies – Rotary moulded
- Crackers
- Masa
- Pet food

Efficient batch processing dough breaker
The dough kibbler is engineered to process entire dough batches in a controlled manner. Dough is conveyed through a live bottom system into rotating tine cutters, producing dough chunks that are ready for sheeting, forming, or further processing.
Ensures optimized dough flow to downstream equipment
By breaking dense dough masses into manageable pieces, the system ensures reliable feeding into downstream production equipment. This improves line efficiency, reduces manual handling, and supports consistent product quality.
Built for demanding industrial environments
Constructed with a heavy-duty stainless steel tubular frame and designed for washdown conditions, the Kibbler meets demanding sanitation and safety standards. With production capacities up to 6,800 kg/hr (15,000 lb/hr), it supports both medium and high-volume bakery operations.
