Vitella SQSA 20s: The semi-automatic rectangular divider designed for small, consistent dough pieces
General Overview
The Vitella SQSA 20s is a semi-automatic rectangular divider designed for dough production that demands precision, consistency, and speed. With its 20 divisions, it can handle dough pieces from 80 to 500 g, a range particularly suited to lightweight formats, small items, individual loaves, or snack preparations.
This machine operates hydraulically. Pressing and cutting are performed by a double-acting cylinder, while the main operations are controlled by a joystick.
The user can thus control pressing alone, pressing with cutting, knife lowering and cleaning from a single control station.
Why this model stands out
The SQSA 20s differs from the SQSA 20 version in that it is designed for lighter dough pieces. While the SQSA 20 works with dough weighing 150 to 1000 g with a 20 kg bowl, the SQSA 20s targets a range of 80 to 500 g with a bowl capacity of 10 kg. It therefore meets a different need: producing smaller, more uniform portions, with a claimed output of 2400 pieces/hour.
Key Advantages
- 20-second version suitable for small dough pieces from 80 to 500 g.
- Joint control for pressing, cutting, and cleaning the knives.
- Rectangular bowl, 125 mm high, with a 10 kg capacity.
- 80 x 80 mm press for even dividing.
- Simple work cycle: insertion, closing, pressing, cutting, removal.
- Dimensions to be checked with the lid open. 1600 mm high.

Uses and applications
The Vitella SQSA 20s semi-automatic divider is suitable for bakeries, pastry shops, pizzerias, caterers and CHR laboratories that work with small to medium weight dough pieces. It proves useful when portion consistency is important for organizing production, limiting weight variations, and achieving consistency from one cycle to the next.
Good to know before choosing
The SQSA 20s should not be confused with the SQSA 20. Both models belong to the same family of semi-automatic rectangular dividers, but the SQSA 20s is calibrated for a lighter range, from 80 to 500 g, with a 10 kg bowl. You must also allow sufficient space for opening the hood, as the height reaches 1600 mm.
Conclusion
The Vitella SQSA 20s is a suitable solution for bakeries looking for a semi-automatic rectangular divider dedicated to small dough pieces. Its hydraulic control via lever, its 10 kg capacity, and its speed of 2400 pieces/hour make it suitable for regular production, with clear operation and a structured work cycle.
