Mecnosud Dough Divider 20 Division DDM0220

The Mecnosud DDM0220 is a dough divider with a rectangular 20-division tank, each division 80 x 200 mm, taking 5 to 17 kg of dough per operation. The blades ascend automatically to divide the dough while the machine runs, and lateral plates open for access to the internal mechanism — which on a machine that fills with dough every cycle is the difference between cleanable and not.

Why operators choose the ICE-DDM0220

• 20 equal divisions at 80 x 200 mm — consistent portion weight without weighing each piece. On bread and rolls, portion consistency is what makes the bake even
• 5 to 17 kg of dough per operation — a wide working range - the same machine handles a small batch and a full one, so you are not forced to a minimum
• Blades ascend automatically during operation — the dividing action is part of the cycle rather than a separate press stroke
• Lateral plates open for cleaning — access to the internal mechanism without dismantling. Dough builds up inside a divider, and a machine you cannot get into does not get cleaned
• Comfortable handle on the lid — the operator works this handle repeatedly all shift, and the manufacturer calls it out
• Built to automate the dividing step — the manufacturer's positioning, and a fair one - hand-dividing is slow and inconsistent, and it is where portion control is lost
• Three phase, supplied without a plug — installation by a licensed electrician is required - budget for it
• 1,693 mm tall — a floor-standing machine; check ceiling and door heights

Specifications

Venue suitability

The DDM0220 suits bakeries dividing bread and roll dough in batches. Its real value is portion consistency rather than speed — twenty equal pieces every cycle is what makes a tray of rolls bake evenly, and it is what hand-dividing cannot reliably deliver.

Installation & delivery

This is a three-phase machine supplied without a plug, and the manufacturer requires installation by a qualified electrician. If three phase is not already at your premises, price that work before committing — it can exceed the cost of the machine. The load itself is modest at 1.5 kW; the supply type is the issue. At 1,693 mm tall check ceiling and door heights and the delivery route. Allow working space at the front for loading the tank and removing the divided dough, and near a wash-down point — the lateral plates are there to be opened regularly. Our data records no weight.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How much dough does it take per cycle?

Between 5 and 17 kg, divided into 20 equal pieces. The wide range is genuinely useful: you are not forced into a minimum batch, so the same machine suits a quiet morning and a production run.

Q: What size are the divisions?

Each division is 80 x 200 mm in a rectangular tank. With a 5 to 17 kg charge, that gives you finished pieces from roughly 250 g up to 850 g depending on how much dough you load - the division geometry is fixed, the piece weight follows the charge.

Q: Why does the cleaning access matter?

Because a divider fills with dough every cycle and the residue sets. The lateral plates open to the internal mechanism so it can actually be cleaned rather than just wiped down - on this class of machine that is the feature that determines whether it stays hygienic in practice.

Q: What is the difference between this and the DDM0220T?

The T model adds functions. This machine divides. The DDM0220T is a three-function machine - hydraulic divider, divider/moulder for bread ready to bake, and a press for butter and food dough - with a teflon-coated head cover, flour basin and anti-spatter. If you only need dividing, this is the simpler machine.

Q: What electrical work is needed?

400 V three phase at 1.5 kW, supplied without a plug, installation by a licensed electrician. Price the supply work first if you do not already have three phase.

Q: What warranty does the ICE-DDM0220 come with?

Covered for 12 months. Our records state the duration but not whether labour is included, so confirm the exact cover with our team before ordering rather than assuming it. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
