The Handtmann SE 442 cutting unit, in conjunction with a VF 600 B vacuum portioning machine, divides dough and is extremely suitable for baked goods producers who want to divide/portion a large range of products via a multi functional cutting unit. High hourly dividing capacities can be achieved. The modular design facilitates very short conversion times. During the development of the SE 442, hygienic design was a particular focus.

Efficient, accurate weight dough portioning

The multi functional SE 442 can be used for dividing a wide variety of consistencies of dough. The dough is pre-portioned by a VF 600 B series portioning machine and fed to the expansion chamber in the cutting head of the SE 442. Once the pre-selected weight (volume) is reached, the blade receives a signal and divides the piece of dough. The portioned dough piece is fed to the next process step on the conveyor belt.
