Question 1

When should I choose a square divider over a piston divider?

Accepted Answer

RAM hydraulic square dividers press and cut a whole dough batch in one head, suiting bakeries, pastry shops and pizzerias. Sottoriva piston dividers draw dough from a hopper and divide continuously, suiting lines that need many pieces per hour.

Question 2

What is the difference between the RAM DSA and DSS?

Accepted Answer

The DSA is automatic: one button press runs the press, cut and lid-opening cycle. The DSS with grids is semi-automatic, with separate levers for pressing and cutting so the operator controls the timing.

Question 3

Can a divider press butter for laminated dough?

Accepted Answer

The RAM DSA Double Cut can press dough or butter without cutting, which helps prepare butter slabs for croissant and puff pastry.

Question 4

How many pieces per hour do Sottoriva dividers make?

Accepted Answer

The Zero 5-6 runs at 700-1,500 pieces per hour per row, and the Zero 10 at 1,560-6,240 pieces per hour depending on version. Both have hoppers holding about 100 kg of dough.

Question 5

Are piston dividers hard to clean?

Accepted Answer

On the Sottoriva Zero 5-6 the pistons and blades can be removed for cleaning without tools. Details for other models are on each product page.

Question 6

Is installation and training included?

Accepted Answer
