JAC | DIV Hydraulic Dough Divider Series

Semi-automatic hydraulic dough dividers with round or square tanks, adjustable pressure on the DIV-R and an optional 10/20 selector on the DIV-R 10/20 Square.

The JAC DIV Hydraulic Dough Divider Series is a line of semi-automatic hydraulic dough dividers that replaces scaling by hand. Load a full batch of dough into the tank, close the lid and pull the lever, and the machine presses the dough and cuts it into 20 equal pieces in one cycle. The series includes the DIV 20 Round, DIV 20 Square and DIV-R 20 Square.

Why Bakers Choose the JAC DIV Hydraulic Dough Divider Series

Scaling dough by hand is slow, and no two pieces come out quite the same. With the JAC DIV Hydraulic Dough Divider Series, you load a full batch into the tank, pull the lever, and the machine presses and cuts it into 20 uniform pieces. That means more consistent rolls, loaves and buns, and more bench time for shaping.

Choose a round or square tank to suit your products. The DIV 20 Round divides from a round tank. The DIV 20 Square and DIV-R 20 Square cut rectangular pieces of 4.53″ x 2.95″ | 115 x 75 mm, and the DIV-R 10/20 Square also cuts 10 larger pieces for loaves. The DIV-R adds adjustable pressure, flour recovery and a lid seal.

CAPABILITY FUNCTION BENEFIT FOR PROFESSIONAL BAKERS
HYDRAULIC IN-TANK DIVIDING Presses a full batch in the tank and cuts 20 uniform pieces in one cycle. Less variation than hand scaling, and bench time freed for shaping.
ROUND OR SQUARE TANK DIV 20 Round divides from a round tank; the square models cut 115 x 75 mm rectangles. Lets you match the piece shape to your products and next production step.
10/20 DIVISION SELECTOR (DIV-R 10/20 SQUARE, OPTION) Switches between 20 pieces of 150 - 950 g and 10 pieces of 300 - 1,900 g. One machine covers rolls and loaves from the same dough.
ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE (DIV-R) Front handle sets the pressing force. Adapting the pressure to the dough type helps limit degassing.
FLOUR RECOVERY AND LID SEAL (DIV-R) Collects excess flour and helps keep it from splashing out of the tank. A cleaner work area around the divider.
AUTOMATIC KNIFE RETRACTION Stainless-steel knives cut and retract automatically; a button raises them for cleaning. Knives raise for cleaning as part of the daily routine.
EASY CLEAN Non-stick treatment impregnated into the material. Helps reduce dough sticking.
DIVIDE UP TO 20 PIECES/PRESS Divide dough in up to 20 equal sized pieces within seconds. Produce up to 900 pieces/hour.

At a Glance
Divide a full batch into 20 equal pieces per press, in a round or square tank, with adjustable pressure on the DIV-R and a 10/20 version, the DIV-R 10/20 Square, for larger pieces.

Typical Applications

The JAC DIV Hydraulic Dough Divider Series is used after mixing and bulk fermentation to divide bread and roll doughs into uniform pieces for rounding, shaping or panning. It suits retail and wholesale bakeries that need consistent piece weights every day.

Rolls and Buns
Divide 20 pieces at a time, starting at 3.53 oz | 100 g on the round model or 5.29 oz | 150 g on the square models.

Loaves and Larger Pieces
With its 10/20 selector, the DIV-R 10/20 Square cuts 10 pieces of 10.58 to 67.02 oz | 300 to 1,900 g for loaves and larger breads.

Rectangular Pieces for Shaping
The square tank cuts even rectangles of 4.53″ x 2.95″ | 115 x 75 mm (20 pieces) or 9.06″ x 2.95″ | 230 x 75 mm (10 pieces), ready for moulding or panning.

Different Dough Types
On the DIV-R, adjustable pressure lets operators set how firmly the dough is pressed, which helps limit degassing. JAC specifies a minimum dough hydration of 55% for in-tank dividing.

Divide bread and roll doughs into 20 equal pieces, or 10 larger pieces on the square models.

How Does It Work?

The JAC DIV Hydraulic Dough Divider Series runs on a semi-automatic hydraulic system with a single control lever. Here’s how a cycle works, based on JAC’s operating procedure.

1. Load the dough
Open the lid, lightly flour the heads if needed, then empty the dough into the tank and spread it out roughly by hand. Lightly flour the top of the dough if needed.

2. Set the machine
On the DIV-R, set the pressure with the handle at the front of the machine. On the DIV-R 10/20 Square, choose 10 or 20 divisions with the front selector.

3. Close the lid and divide
Close the lid and pull the control lever. The heads rise and press the dough, and the knives cut it into equal pieces.

4. Release the pressure
Push the lever briefly to decompress, then open the lid.

5. Recover the pieces
Pull the lever again to raise the heads and lift the dough pieces for removal. Open the lid right after each cycle so fermenting dough isn’t left in the tank.

An emergency stop button on the control panel stops a cycle in progress.

At a Glance
Load the dough, set the machine, close the lid and pull the lever. One cycle divides the full batch.

Features & Technology

The JAC DIV Hydraulic Dough Divider Series keeps the design simple: a mechanical control panel, a hydraulic press and a knife assembly built for daily bakery use.

✓ Hydraulic In-Tank Dividing
A hydraulic system with a reinforced piston raises the heads to press the whole batch in the tank before the knives cut it.

✓ Round or Square Tank
The DIV 20 Round divides from a round tank. The DIV 20 Square and DIV-R 20 Square use a square stainless-steel tank that cuts even rectangular pieces.

✓ Automatic Knife Retraction
Stainless-steel knives cut the dough during the cycle and retract automatically. A knife-raise button exposes them for cleaning.

✓ Easy Clean Non-Stick Treatment
JAC’s Easy Clean treatment coats the work area, with its non-stick qualities improving over time.

✓ Adjustable Pressure
Available on the DIV-R, a pressure setting handle at the front lets operators adapt the amount of pressure applied to the dough, which helps limit degassing on different dough types.

✓ Flour Recovery and Lid Seal
Available on the DIV-R, a flour recovery bin collects excess flour, and a lid seal helps keep flour from splashing out of the tank during the cycle.

✓ Simple Controls
Easy-to-use mechanical controls located on the front of the machine, including an emergency stop.

✓ Mobile Design
Includes casters for enhanced mobility across the production floor.

✓ Hygienic Design
Constructed with durable stainless steel and food-contact materials that are designed for easy cleaning.

On the production floor, the JAC DIV Hydraulic Dough Divider Series usually sits between the mixer and the bench. A full batch goes in and 20 uniform pieces come out, ready for rounding, shaping, panning or proofing.

It runs on a single lever with the controls at the front, and it sits on casters. Daily cleaning follows a short routine in the JAC manual: clean the tank and lid, raise the knives with the knife-raise button and clean them with the machine empty and unplugged, then vacuum out dough and flour residue.

FAQ

What is the JAC DIV Hydraulic Dough Divider Series?

It’s a line of semi-automatic hydraulic dough dividers from JAC: the DIV 20 Round, DIV 20 Square and DIV-R 20 Square. Each one presses a full batch of dough in the tank and cuts it into 20 equal pieces in one cycle.

What’s the difference between the DIV and the DIV-R?

Both divide the same way. The DIV-R 20 Square adds adjustable pressure at the front of the machine, a flour recovery bin, a lid seal and a transport handle as standard. Adjustable pressure lets operators adapt the pressing force to different dough types to help limit degassing.

Should I choose a round or square tank?

Choose a square model (DIV 20 Square or DIV-R 20 Square) if you want even rectangular pieces of 4.53″ x 2.95″ | 115 x 75 mm or the option to cut 10 larger pieces. The DIV 20 Round divides from a round tank, with pieces from 3.53 to 31.75 oz | 100 to 900 g.

How many pieces per hour can the JAC DIV divide?

JAC rates in-tank dividing at up to 900 pieces per hour. Actual output depends on how quickly operators load and unload each batch.

What dough piece weights can it divide?

The DIV 20 Round divides 20 pieces of 3.53 to 31.75 oz | 100 to 900 g. The square models divide 20 pieces of 5.29 to 33.51 oz | 150 to 950 g, and the DIV-R 10/20 Square can also divide 10 pieces of 10.58 to 67.02 oz | 300 to 1,900 g. Results depend on the dough.

How much dough does the tank hold?

The round tank holds 39.68 lb | 18 kg of dough and the square tank holds 41.89 lb | 19 kg.

What dough hydration does the JAC DIV need?

JAC specifies a minimum dough hydration of 55% for in-tank dividing. On the DIV-R, adjustable pressure lets operators adapt the pressing force to the dough to help limit degassing. Open the lid right after each cycle, since fermenting dough left in the tank builds pressure on the lid.

What are the electrical requirements?

All three models run on 208 V | 3 Ph | 60 Hz | 11A with a NEMA L15-20P plug. Motor power is 1.8 kW on the DIV 20 Round, 1.5 kW on the DIV 20 Square and 1.8 kW on the DIV-R 20 Square. Have a certified electrician confirm your supply before installation.

How much floor space does it need?

Each model measures 31.9 x 23.6 x 70.4″ | 810 x 599 x 1788 mm (L X W X H), with the height measured with the lid open. It ships in a crate of 34.6 x 31.5 x 49.2″ | 880 x 800 x 1250 mm.

How is the JAC DIV cleaned?

Daily: with the heads and knives lowered, clean the tank and lid, raise the knives with the knife-raise button and clean them with the machine unplugged, then raise the heads and vacuum out dough and flour residue. Weekly, the inside of the machine is vacuumed and, on the DIV-R, the flour recovery bin emptied. Easy Clean helps reduce sticking. Annual service is done by an approved technician. Follow the JAC manual for each step.

Is the JAC DIV ETL listed?

Yes. The DIV 20 Round, DIV 20 Square and DIV-R 20 Square are all ETL listed.

What support does Erika provide with the JAC DIV and DIV-R?
