MACPAN MPC-R – Professional Conical Rounder
MACPAN MPC-R professional conical rounder, designed for bakeries working with various dough types and piece sizes. The machine rounds dough pieces and prepares them for subsequent processing stages. It features an Italian design with adjustable channels, ensuring maximum flexibility and perfect results.
Rotary cone operation
Rounding is achieved using a rotating cone that causes the dough to roll along concave channels, resulting in perfectly spherical pieces. The channels are specially designed to guide the dough in a circular motion, creating uniform tension across the entire surface of the piece. The result is a perfect round shape, which is essential for proper proofing and the product’s final appearance.
Versatile adjustable channels
By adjusting the distance between the channels and the cone using the handwheels, the machine can process dough pieces ranging from 30 to 1,600 grams with consistent precision. This remarkable versatility eliminates the need for multiple machines to handle different sizes. The operator can also adjust the rounding force, achieving tighter or looser shaping depending on the dough type and the desired final product.
Significant savings
The ability to round such a wide range of sizes allows this machine to replace two fixed conical rounders—one for small pieces up to 500g and another for large pieces up to 1600g. The savings are significant in terms of initial investment, bakery floor space, and maintenance costs.
Teflon-coated channels
All channels are coated with Teflon to facilitate the sliding of the dough. This special treatment ensures easy and efficient processing by reducing friction and preventing the dough from sticking to the surfaces. The Teflon coating also allows for much faster cleaning at the end of the workday.
Optional ventilation system
The machine can be optionally equipped with a hot and cold air ventilation system that, by gently drying the dough surface, allows for perfect handling even of the wettest doughs. This system is particularly useful for high-hydration doughs or during periods of high humidity in the bakery.
Ideal for soft doughs
The machine is specially designed for rounding medium-consistency and soft doughs, capable of processing doughs with a water-to-flour ratio of up to 70%. This capability makes it perfect for ciabatta, focaccia, sourdough bread, and other high-hydration artisan products that require gentle handling.
Diverse applications
Suitable for artisanal and industrial bakeries producing a wide range of products—from small rolls and buns to large round loaves. Its versatility regarding dough sizes and types makes it an excellent investment for any bakery seeking production flexibility.
