Dough sheeter PIZZA GROUP P06PF02053

A pizza dough press flattens balls of dough between two heated plates, replacing hand-stretching with consistent thickness and shape. The plates close under controlled pressure, pressing the dough evenly from both sides while heat sets the gluten structure, producing a base that bakes evenly without shrinking or tearing. Because the plates are heated, the dough relaxes faster and holds its shape better than cold pressing, giving a crispier crust when baked. The process also eliminates air pockets, so toppings sit flat and cook uniformly across every pizza.

The operator places a dough ball on the lower Teflon-coated plate, selects the pressing time and sets the temperature for each plate. The adaptive motor automation lowers the top plate smoothly, pressing the dough to the chosen thickness. Once the cycle finishes, the plate lifts automatically and the pressed base slides off without sticking, ready for topping. The Teflon coating allows flour to be used instead of oil, matching the traditional feel of hand-stretched dough while keeping the plates easy to clean.

The press is built with Teflon-coated aluminium plates 45 cm in diameter. The frame is powder-coated steel, and the motor automation system includes a self-braking adaptive drive that refines its pressure calibration with every cycle, maintaining accuracy over long service.

Controls include independent temperature dials for the top and bottom plates and a timer for the pressing cycle. The 5.10 kW power rating indicates the load on the three-phase 400 V supply, which is standard for professional catering equipment in the UK. The 127 kg weight means the unit is floor-standing and must be positioned on a stable worktop or stand before use. Its footprint of 630 mm by 730 mm fits most commercial pizza stations, leaving space for dough preparation alongside.

Cleaning involves wiping the Teflon plates with a damp cloth after each service to remove flour residue. The powder-coated steel surfaces can be cleaned with mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads that could damage the finish. The adaptive motor system requires no manual adjustment, but the plates should be checked periodically for even wear to ensure consistent pressing.

This model is configured without an edge, producing a base that extends fully to the plate diameter. It is designed for dough weights between 250 g and 500 g, covering standard pizza sizes from personal to large.

The press is listed in the professional pizza equipment section of the catalogue, under dough preparation machinery.
