Rotary Dough Feeder

Consistent dough feeding for high-volume bakery production

Gentle, high-capacity dough handling

Peerless rotary dough feeder (RDF) is a gentle, high-capacity dough handling system that automatically feeds uniform blocks of dough to dividers or forming equipment without changing the dough’s temperature or structure.

Benefits:

Maintains dough quality and consistency
Eliminates manual dough handling and trough hoists
Compact, portable, and quiet for confined areas
Easy to clean with open, sanitary design
High throughput up to 9,980 kg (22,000 lbs) per hour

Discover how the Peerless rotary dough feeder (RDF) improves dough handling efficiency and consistency.

The rotary dough feeder ensures smooth, uniform transfer of dough from the mixer to downstream equipment, preserving product quality and maintaining precise feed rates. Its gentle rotary action prevents overworking or heating, making it ideal for bread, rolls, buns, bagels, and tortillas.

Efficient and flexible operation
Designed for efficiency, the RDF eliminates the need for large hoppers or manual trough handling. Multiple hopper capacities and cutter options allow customization for specific production needs. Optional power traverse and automated conveyors enable seamless feeding across multiple mixers or processing lines.

Hygienic and low-maintenance design
Built with a low-profile, open-frame design, the RDF simplifies sanitation and routine maintenance while fitting easily into tight production spaces. The polyethylene-lined hopper minimizes dough sticking, ensuring smooth discharge and easy cleaning for continuous, reliable operation.
