The rye ecoline provides bakeries with a high-performance, compact system for producing rye sourdoughs with consistent quality. Available in 500 l and 1000 l net capacities (≈ 300 kg and 600 kg pre-dough), these plug-in-ready units adapt to different production volumes and floor layouts.
Compact performance with high output
The RW 500 and RW 1000 Ecoline systems allow variable fermentation times and flexible stirring intervals, enabling specially selected pre-doughs to be produced up to twice daily. Despite its small footprint, the RW 1000 can produce up to 2 tonnes of pre-dough per day.
Hygienic and operator-friendly design
A single-walled stainless steel fermenter with an anchor agitator featuring wall and bottom scrapers ensures gentle, lump-free mixing. The unit’s dry-running BT3 gear pump and dosing hose with 180° return bend simplify ingredient handling, while the hygienic design allows easy cleaning and safe operation.
Precision control and automation
PLC control with a touch panel enables operators to set process parameters, ensuring reproducible results. The DIOStart system supports consistent pre-dough quality, and technological coaching is available to optimize production processes.
Benefits
- Mobile and ready to plug in
- Available for 500 l and 1000 l pre-dough batches (≈ 300 kg and 600 kg)
- PLC control with process-optimized programs and freely programmable parameters
- Hygienic, easy-to-clean stainless steel design
- Simple and intuitive operation
- Consistent, reproducible results with DIOStart automation
The rye, wheat & spelt Ecoline offers bakeries and large-scale processors a high-performance system for continuous, reproducible pre-dough production.
The wheat and spelt unit is available in 200 kg, 300 kg, 500 kg, and 1000 kg net capacities, the units adapt to different production volumes and operational requirements.
The rye unit is available in 500 l and 1000 l net capacities (≈ 300 kg and 600 kg) capacities.
Industrial performance with flexible output
Equipped with a special agitator, the Ecoline ensures fast, lump-free, and gentle mixing to protect dough structure. Flexible fermentation times, stirring intervals, and process parameters allow production of a wide variety of dough types. With the W 1000 Ecoline, bakeries can produce up to 2 tonnes of pre-dough per day in a minimal footprint.
Hygienic and operator-friendly design
The single-walled stainless steel fermenter combines robust design with easy cleaning. The dry-running BT3 gear pump and pre-installed dosing hose with 180° return bend simplify ingredient handling. On the W 200 Ecoline, the stainless-steel lid doubles as a practical work surface, optimizing workspace efficiency.
Precision control and automation
All models feature PLC control for precise process management, with touch-panel operation (W 300–1000) or push-button control (W 200). Freely programmable parameters enable reproducible results batch after batch. For optimum dough consistency, DIOSNA recommends the use of DIOStart products, complemented by expert technological coaching.
Benefits
