Product Description
This Pastaline system combines an automatic dough dividing machine with a dough rounder, providing a continuous, consistent workflow from bulk dough to individual portioned balls ready for proofing or immediate use. The divider portions the dough by weight, and the rounder then forms each piece into a tight, uniform ball — either on a timer-controlled cycle or using a feeler pin mechanism to adapt to dough consistency. Both machines mount on a combined stand with integral shelving, keeping the footprint compact and the workflow linear.
In a busy production environment, consistency across portions is one of the harder things to maintain by hand, particularly across a long service or a high-volume bake run. This system removes that variability. The rounder handles a wide weight range, making it practical across different product sizes — from small bread rolls through to larger pizza bases or dough balls — without reconfiguring the line. The hourly throughput is substantial enough to support serious production demands without creating a bottleneck ahead of the oven.
The practical advantages for a working kitchen include:
- Consistent portion weight reduces waste and food cost variance across a service
- Uniform ball formation supports even proofing and predictable bake results
- Labour requirement at the portioning stage is significantly reduced
- Quick-disassembly design keeps daily cleaning straightforward
- Combined stand keeps both machines at the correct working height and saves bench space
The system requires a single-phase electrical supply for each machine. Both units have a meaningful footprint and combined weight, so floor positioning and access for cleaning should be considered at the installation stage. The stand design assumes a fixed location rather than frequent repositioning, so siting it close to your proofing area and dough preparation space will pay dividends in workflow efficiency.
This system is well suited to pizzerias, artisan bakeries, hotel kitchens, and any production kitchen turning out dough-based products at volume on a regular basis. It is a considered investment for operations where manual portioning is already creating a labour or consistency problem. For smaller sites producing lower volumes, a simpler manual divider or standalone rounder may be more proportionate. For very large central production facilities, higher-capacity dedicated equipment is worth exploring.
If you are unsure whether this configuration matches your production volumes or kitchen layout, our team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the wide weight range on both the divider and rounder makes the system practical across different dough products, including pizza bases, dough balls, bread rolls, and larger loaf portions. The key variable to consider is dough hydration and consistency, as very high-hydration doughs can behave differently through mechanical rounders, so it is worth discussing your specific recipe if you have any concerns.
- Both machines in the system operate on a single-phase supply. The divider and rounder each draw modest power independently, but you will need two accessible socket positions or a suitably rated spur at the installation point. If your kitchen has limited electrical capacity near the intended location, it is worth confirming supply arrangements before installation.
- The stand holds both machines at a fixed working position, so this is best treated as a permanently sited unit rather than something repositioned between services. Combined weight is considerable, so floor loading and access routes for initial installation should be assessed in advance. Positioning the system close to your dough preparation and proofing areas will give the most efficient workflow.
