Automatic Dough Feeding System

System Components

The automatic dough feeding system includes stacking modules, dough shaping mechanisms, buffer conveyors, incline conveyors, cart rail systems, control systems, and monitoring systems.

Dough Stacking Module

Dough sheets from the sheeter are conveyed to the stacking module for initial forming, then shaped by rollers for standardized dimensions.

Buffer Conveying Module

Bridges the gap between dough sheet conveying and cart pickup, maintaining sufficient dough inventory for continuous operation.

Cart Rail System

The filling rail’s transverse support extends outward with additional support legs, creating a layered compact layout for the dough rail.

Material Standards

• All frames, rollers, and shafts in food-grade 304 stainless steel
• White PU conveyor belts
• Compliant with food safety standards

ZGM-V3.0 Hybrid Flexible Feeding System

Borica’s proprietary ZGM-V3.0 scheduling software, complementary to the ZGL-V3.0 filling system:

• Real-time data monitoring for dynamic feeding matching production demand
• Flexible parameter settings, one-button start/stop
• Production data tracking: records line-wide and per-machine output
• Manual mode available
• Zero-delay sensor data acquisition, auto-updating cart positioning

Smart Cart (Core)

• 304 stainless steel suspended frame, fully enclosed sheet metal
• Conveyor belt rated ≥100kg, food-grade white PU material
• Large-diameter stainless steel wheels with rubber coating, servo drive
• Dual sensor + mechanical hard stop redundant safety
• Multi-point sensors for precise dough block positioning and spacing

Safety & Hygiene Design

• 3-color indicator light per station (green/yellow/flashing red)
• Impact guard net protecting maintenance personnel below
• Built-in rail dust removal system reducing cleaning labor
• No complex multi-belt design eliminating dead corners
• Servo cart requires no gear oil, zero leakage risk

Product Advantages (vs. Traditional Belt Conveying)

Aspect	Traditional Belt	Borica ZGM-V3.0 System
Space	Large, multiple nodes	Compact, standardized
Failure Risk	Many belt joints	Modular, fewer failure points
Hygiene	Hard-to-clean dead corners	No complex belts, no dead corners
Oil Leakage	Gear motor oil leaks	Servo drives, zero leakage
Control Accuracy	Poor synchronization	Servo closed-loop, S-curve zero-impact
Noise	High noise	Low noise operation
Energy	High idle loss	Single servo + low-friction rail
Dough Quality	Stacking/pressing/deformation	Zero-impact, gluten structure preserved
Expandability	Long modification downtime	Reserved interface for easy expansion
Relocation	High disassembly loss	100% modular reuse
