Somerset Industries has been a leading bakery equipment manufacturer in the foodservice industry since 1946. Headquartered in Lowell, Massachusetts, the brand has empowered professionals with solutions that reduce labor costs, minimize food waste, simplify staff training, and boost production. Somerset’s products have proved safe, easy to operate and maintain, and deliver consistent results, even in demanding environments. The company continues to meet the industry’s dough-making needs with an extensive equipment line.

Somerset Equipment Line

Somerset Industries’ equipment line includes products that automate every step of the dough-making process: Rollers, sheeters, presses, and other dough-processing machines boast heavy-duty stainless steel construction and non-stick surfaces. They stand out for their maintenance-free operation, safety features, consistent performance, and easy cleaning.

Somerset Dough Rollers

Somerset Industries dough rollers offer a user-friendly experience with simple handle adjustments for precise thickness control and removable spring-loaded scrapers for effortless cleaning. Their large hoppers accept large pieces of dough, making 500 to 600 dough sheets in 11-in (27.94 cm) to 25-in (63.5 cm) diameter only in seconds. These space-saving, ergonomically designed machines prioritize safety with automatic shutoff sensors. They are available in front or side-operated models with synthetic or metallic rollers.

Somerset Dough Sheeters

Somerset Industries’ dough sheeters simplify labor-intensive tasks like sheeting sugar icing, cake fondant, sugar paste, and dough. These countertop machines have 4-in (10.16 cm) adjustable legs for customizing position. They have 1 to 1/4 HP gear motors that turn 10-in (25.4 cm) to 30-in (76.2 cm) synthetic or metallic non-stick rollers to sheet 500 to 600 pieces per hour. Precise thickness control is simple with a handle, and a large stainless steel discharge tray ensures convenient handling of the finished product.

Somerset Dough Presses

Somerset Industries offers a state-of-the-art pizza press that automates pizza crust, pita bread, lavash, and other popular flatbread preparations, producing 300 to 500 pieces an hour. The SEP-760 pizza press lets operators switch between manual and automatic operation modes. Individual controls for the heated top and bottom platens enable precise temperature adjustments, while a built-in dough timer and end buzzer enhance workflow. Somerset Industries made this machine more efficient with its patented ECO MODE, which conserves energy during downtime.

Somerset Dough Dividers and Rounders

Somerset Industries combines floor model dough divider and rounder for continuous dough processing. The divider accurately portions dough into 4 programmable sizes and weights. It handles dough weights from 4 oz (113.4 gr) to 32 oz (907.2 gr) and produces over 2000 pieces per hour. Partnering seamlessly with this divider, the rounder shapes the dough into uniform balls. Its hourly production capacity of 7200 pieces and adaptability to conveyor systems make it ideal for high-volume operations.

Somerset Dough Moulders

Somerset Industries’ dough moulders shape dough into ready-to-bake bread, pretzels, baguettes, and more. The interchangeable pressure plate allows customization to different bread shapes. They make up to 30 pieces per minute, each measuring up to 15 in (38.1 cm) or 20 in (50.8 cm) long. Their 1/2 or 3/4 HP motors power the rollers to mold dough as it moves along the 50-in (127 cm) conveyor.

Somerset Cheese Shredders

Somerset Industries facilitates chees processing tasks with its SCS-150 cheese shredder. This robust machine features a heavy-duty 2 HP motor and shreds over 25 lb (11.34 kg) of cheese a minute, accommodating large 8-lb (3.63 kg) cheese blocks. It comes standard with a 3/16-in (4.76 mm) blade, but optional blades are available as accessories for size customization.
