OPERATOR: person responsible for using the machine or its parts.
ROUNDER-DIVIDER: the subject of this manual

ARTEZEN, MANUFACTURER, CONSTRUCTOR, MANUFACTURING COMPANY of the machine:
Artezen S.r.l. Via Lago di Tovel,14 36015 Schio (VICENZA) - I
PPE : personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves, shoes, goggles, etc.)
DOUGH: a shapeless, homogeneous, and malleable mass obtained through the mixing of food ingredients
typical of this sector (flour, water, yeast, salt, etc.), previously prepared or purchased by the user and destined
to be portioned by the divider
HOPPER: open container, with a truncated-rectangular shape, placed on the top of the machine intended to
contain the dough and placed in communication with the machine head. A tilt-adjustable mirror is installed at its
top.
AOPD : Safety light curtain, installed on the sides of the hopper.
HEAD: assembly consisting of different components intended to pick-up part of the dough contained in the
hopper, dividing it into pieces of dough destined for the weight chamber.
STAR DOSING DEVICE: Pair of removable star-shaped profiles, with 3 or 4 lobes, suitable for dividing the
dough into more or less uniform portions.
WEIGHT CHAMBER: compartment that can be opened for cleaning, consisting of a removable piston,
equipped with a horizontal reciprocating movement, to subject the dough to a compression suitable for filling the
cavities obtained in the dividing drum.
DIVIDING DRUM: Hollow cylinder with a profile featuring 4 pairs of grooves arranged radially and at 90° from
each other. The travel of the pistons contained here is adjustable to offer a filling volume adequate to the
required dividing weight.
DOUGH REMOVING ROLLERS: removable unit, consisting of a pair of rotating rollers designed to ensure the
release of the portions of dough contained in the grooves of the dividing drum to direct them inside the rounding
cups.
PIECES: portion of dough made by the machine, the volume of which is determined by the dividing drum.
ROUNDING CUPS: polygonal shaped compartment, assembled in sequence with other cups and all connected
by a pair of metal chains, suitable for receiving the pieces of dough and subsequently processing them for the
rounding phase.
ROUNDER: Flat element in continuous orbital rotation, fixed above the rounding cups, which moves the pieces
in order to round off their shape.
ALIGNMENT ROLLERS Pair of rollers with planetary rotary movement, covered in non-stick material, arranged
in the unloading area of the rounded pieces, designed to release the pieces from the rounding cups and at the
same time prevent them from rolling onto the transfer belt.
TRANSFER BELT Outfeed belt suitable for transferring the rounded pieces towards the outside of the machine
or unloading them into the moulder.
MOULDER Group external to the machine but physically connected to it, whose purpose is to generate a
spinning action through the combined operation of a pair of compression and winding belts (present exclusively
in the 'SYNCRO M' and 'SYNCRO EM' versions).
ROUNDED PIECES: Dough pieces that have been given a rounded shape.
CRUSHED PIECES: Dough pieces that were first rounded and then compressed, obtaining the flat circular
shape (typical of “hamburger” buns)
ELONGATED PIECES Dough pieces that were first rounded and then elongated, obtaining a cylindrical shape
(typical of “HotDog” buns)
