Thickness Control System for Dough Laminators

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Thickness Control System

Definition

The Thickness Control System is a critical component of the Industrial Dough Laminator that ensures uniform dough sheet thickness through automated measurement and adjustment mechanisms. It monitors the dough as it passes through rollers and makes real-time corrections to maintain precise thickness specifications required for consistent pastry and baked goods production. The system is designed for integration into food manufacturing lines, particularly for laminated dough products such as croissants, puff pastry, and Danish pastries. It operates within a dough thickness range of 0.5–25 mm, adjustable to meet product requirements, and maintains thickness accuracy of ±0.05 mm across the full roller width. The system supports line speeds of 5–30 m/min, ensuring compatibility with various production throughputs. Roller widths are available from 600 to 1200 mm to accommodate different sheet sizes. Operating pressure ranges from 0.6 to 1.0 MPa, with referenced for valve testing standards. The system functions in ambient temperatures of 0–40 °C and requires a three-phase power supply of 380–480 V AC (50/60 Hz) per IEC 60038. Power consumption varies between 5 and 15 kW, depending on roller width and line speed. Control accuracy is ±0.1 mm via closed-loop feedback. The enclosure is rated IP54–IP65 for water and dust resistance per IEC 60529. Contact parts are made of food-grade stainless steel 304 (ASTM A240), with other materials including aluminum alloy and food-grade polymers. The system weight ranges from 800 to 1500 kg, depending on configuration. All specifications are reference values; verify model-specific parameters and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier before procurement.

Working Principle

The system uses sensors, typically laser or ultrasonic, to continuously measure dough thickness as it passes through the rollers. The measured values are compared against preset thickness targets. Any deviation triggers automatic adjustments to the roller gap distance or pressure via servo motors or hydraulic actuators. This closed-loop feedback ensures that the dough sheet maintains consistent thickness throughout the lamination process, compensating for variations in dough consistency, temperature, or feed rate. The control algorithm processes sensor data in real time to achieve the required accuracy of ±0.1 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical dough thickness range this system can handle?

The system is designed for dough thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 25 mm, adjustable within this range. The exact range for a specific model should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

How does the system maintain thickness accuracy?

It uses laser or ultrasonic sensors to measure the dough continuously. The control unit compares readings to preset values and adjusts roller gaps or pressure via servo motors or hydraulic actuators, achieving a control accuracy of ±0.1 mm.

What are the power requirements?

The system requires a three-phase power supply of 380–480 V AC, 50/60 Hz, per IEC 60038. Power consumption ranges from 5 to 15 kW depending on roller width and line speed.

Is the system suitable for food contact?

Yes, contact parts are made of food-grade stainless steel 304 (ASTM A240) and food-grade polymers. However, verify compliance with your specific food safety regulations with the manufacturer.
