Type TFA – DS

The TFA dough pan filling machines, which have been well established and proven on the market for many years, have been redesigned and further developed by our company using state-of-the-art technology.

The result of this development is the latest generation of our filling machines, designated TFA – DS. This machine operates with a twin-screw extrusion system, providing significant improvements in both portioning accuracy and dough deposition compared to its predecessor.

Combined with the well-known advantages of the TFA series, these improvements make the machine an ideal solution for high-capacity production of wholemeal and mixed-grain breads.

The advantages of the new Döpke TFA – DS Dough Pan Filling Machines include:

• Customized machine configurations for optimal integration into existing production processes.
• Excellent dough portion weight accuracy thanks to the twin-screw extrusion system and vacuum-assisted filling (weight deviations of approximately ±1%, depending on the type of dough).
• Gentle dough handling due to the system’s operating principle, allowing the processing of soft doughs (dough yield TA > 175%).
• No dough compression and no loss of fermentation activity.
• Precise dough portion shaping along the length of the baking pans through variable speed control of the extrusion screws.
• Excellent weight distribution between the left and right compartments of double baking pans, thanks to separate drives for the left and right extrusion units.
• Compact design with short conveying distances, easy cleaning, and minimal residual dough.
• Complete system with an integrated conveyor belt, available in either stationary or mobile configurations.
• Compatible with the proven Döpke portioning unit for whole-loaf dough portioning.
