Automated Dough Pinching & Decorative Shaping Equipment for Bakeries
The OC-45 Pinching Machine is a specialized dough-shaping solution designed to automate the traditional hand-pinching process used in buns, pastries, and decorative bakery products. By replicating manual pinching patterns with mechanical precision, this machine delivers consistent appearance, stable output, and significant labor savings—making it ideal for modern bakeries upgrading from manual to semi- or fully automated production.
The OC-45 Pinching Machine uses a 9-blade design with blades made from food-grade specialized materials. The blades are detachable for easy cleaning and replacement, meeting hygiene standards. Equipped with an automatic lubrication system to reduce blade wear during long-term high-speed operation, this machine delivers consistent, high-quality pinching results for bakery products.
Dough pieces are fed into the shaping zone, where the pinching mechanism applies controlled pressure to form decorative patterns. Adjustable settings regulate pinching depth, shape, and rhythm, ensuring uniform results while preserving dough structure and texture throughout the process.
High-Speed Pinching System 9-blade design delivers stable output of 60–100 pieces per minute, ensuring efficient and consistent dough shaping.
Wide Product Weight Range Supports dough portions from 10–100g, suitable for various buns, pastries, and decorative dough products.
Customizable Blade Options Interchangeable round and patterned blades allow flexible product design to match different market demands.
Food-Grade & Hygienic Construction Equipped with SGS-certified UPE blades, PU conveyor belt, and food-grade stainless steel for safe, easy-to-clean operation.
Automatic Lubrication System Reduces blade wear during continuous high-speed production, extending service life and lowering maintenance costs.
Independent Conveyor Speed Control Enables precise synchronization with upstream and downstream bakery equipment.
Adjustable Automatic Lifting Device Height-adjustable structure adapts to different product thicknesses and shaping requirements.
Premium Electrical & Drive Components Features SCHNEIDER relays (France), TECO motor, and CHENTA gearbox for long-term operational stability.
Compact Industrial Design Space-saving footprint of 1290 × 670 × 1460 mm, ideal for small to mid-scale bakery production lines.
