Dough sheeter ROLLMATIC DIRO DR-A/11

An automatic divider rounder shapes dough into uniform balls ready for proving and baking. Three rotating rollers press the dough gently, dividing it by volume and rounding each piece without tearing. The method keeps the gluten network intact, giving a consistent crumb and rise across every batch. A sigma-arm configuration allows the rollers to move in a smooth arc, reducing stress on the dough and cutting waste from trimmings.

The operator loads the hopper with scaled dough up to 5.5 kg, selects a programme on the 4.5-inch colour touchscreen, and starts the cycle. The machine divides the dough into portions of 180 to 500 g, rounds them, and deposits them onto a tray or conveyor. The touchscreen stores programme names, pressing parameters and hopper-height settings, so each recipe can be recalled without manual adjustment. Two handles and a lever-activated castor set (sold separately) let the unit be lifted clear of the floor for cleaning.

The frame is built from stainless steel, sized to fit a standard bakery worktop at 96 cm wide, 98 cm deep and 182 cm high. A 400 V three-phase supply powers the 0.75 kW motor, matching the circuit used by most professional ovens and mixers. The 5.5 kg capacity lets the machine handle a full batch from a spiral mixer without splitting the dough into smaller loads.

Cleaning follows the parts the machine exposes: wipe the hopper, rollers and touchscreen daily with a damp cloth and food-safe sanitiser. The castors, when fitted, allow the unit to be rolled away from the wall so the rear panel and floor can be reached. Programme settings remain stored through power cycles, so no reprogramming is needed after cleaning.

The DIRO DR-A/11 is listed in the ROLLMATIC bakery equipment catalogue under automatic dough dividers and rounders.
