Ask a Question About This Product
The CR 240 conical dough rounder processes dough pieces from 100 to 600 grams with a 1.5 kW motor operating at 380V. It rounds pre-divided dough into uniform balls for proving and final shaping. Bakeries, hotel pastry kitchens, and production facilities use it between division and final moulding stages.
Commercial Application
After dough division, pieces require uniform rounding to maintain consistent fermentation and structure. The conical chamber rotates dough through fixed channels, forming tight surface tension without tearing. This step reduces manual handling and standardises output across shifts.
The machine runs continuously during production windows, processing divided dough at a rate determined by piece weight and channel speed. Rounded dough balls discharge via guide conveyor directly to proving trays or intermediate rest stations. Operators load divided pieces at the top inlet and collect formed balls at the discharge point.

Procurement & Support
TurcoBazaar supplies PIMAK commercial bakery equipment from its UK base to buyers in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Africa. The CR 240 ships as a complete unit with electrical documentation for local compliance verification. UK and European buyers receive shorter lead times; international orders require freight quotation based on destination port.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What dough weight range does the CR 240 handle per cycle?
A: The machine rounds individual dough pieces from 100 to 600 grams. Smaller or larger pieces require different rounder models. Consistent piece weight from the divider improves rounding uniformity.
Q: What motor power and voltage does the CR 240 require?
A: The unit operates on a 1.5 kW motor at 380V three-phase, 50–60 Hz. UK and European installations typically use 400V supply. North American buyers require voltage conversion or step-up transformer.
Q: Are rounding speed settings adjustable during operation?
A: The CR 240 runs at a fixed rotational speed determined by motor specification and cone geometry. Rounding time is controlled by channel length and dough piece travel distance. Operators adjust throughput by varying feed rate at the inlet.
Q: What is the duty cycle rating for continuous production?
A: The 1.5 kW motor is rated for continuous duty in commercial bakery environments. The cast aluminium cone and stainless steel channels handle sustained operation across full production shifts. Regular lubrication of drive components maintains performance.
Q: How is the rounding chamber cleaned between product types?
A: The stainless steel cover lifts for access to the cone and channels. Food-contact surfaces wipe clean with standard bakery sanitisers. Fixed channels remove without tools for deep cleaning or inspection.
