Manual Dough Divider
The Dutchess BMIH Dough Divider is simple to operate, and very
accurate. The removable divider head assemblies can be cleaned daily,
either by hand washing, or by placing into a dish or pan washer.
Instructions for removal of the divider assembly are found inside this
manual. Removal takes only seconds, and without the need for tools.
This Dough Divider will divide a single large piece of dough into either
36, 18 or 9 equal pieces, the weight of each piece being determined by
the weight of the large piece placed into the pan initially, and the head
assembly being utilized.
DOUGH DIVIDING PROCEDURE
A simple formula for determining the size of the initial piece of dough is
to decide what each piece of dough should weigh. Multiply this weight by
36, 18 or 9 depending on head assembly, then divide by 16 (ounces),
and you will have the weight (in pounds) of the initial piece of dough
needed to be placed into the pan.
Example:
Each piece needs to weigh 2 ounces.
2 ounces x 36 (pieces) = 72 ounces
72 (ounces)
÷
16 (ounces) = 4 lbs. 8-ounces.
(See Dough Weight Chart on back for additional examples)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:
Place the large dough piece to be divided into a lightly dusted
Pan then place the Pan into the Machine.
Note:
Before placing the Pan
into the Machine, press the dough by hand so it completely covers the
bottom of the Pan.
Step 2:
After placing the Pan into the Machine, pull down on the
Handle and exert a firm pressure for 3-4 seconds to uniformly flatten the
dough inside the Pan.
Step 3:
Slightly relax the pressure on the Operating Handle and push
down on the Trip Lever to release the Cutting Knives from the Head
Assembly. Next, push the Operating Handle all the way down, and the
Knives will cut the dough into evenly divided pieces.
Raise the Operating Handle to the start position, remove the Pan and
dump out the divided dough pieces. You are ready to repeat the
procedure.
Tip:
For sticky dough products, line the bottom of the Pan with a
circular piece of parchment paper. The paper can be used repeatedly.
