Dough sheeter ROLLMATIC DIRO DR-M/30s

A manual dough divider rounder shapes and portions dough without motorised cutting. The operator loads a single piece of dough into the hopper; the internal division plates split it into equal portions by volume. Each portion is then rolled between a rotating drum and a stationary belt, creating a smooth, uniform ball that holds gas during proofing and baking. This method gives consistent weight and texture across dozens of rolls or buns in a single cycle.

The Rollmatic Diro DR-M/36s follows this principle with a pedal-operated rounding mechanism. The operator presses the frontal pedal to lower the drum and start the rounding motion. Once the cycle completes, the drum lifts automatically, releasing the rounded dough ball onto the worktop. The sequence is repeated for each portion, allowing the operator to control the pace and inspect each piece.

Construction is stainless steel throughout, with a compact footprint of 96 cm by 98 cm. The machine stands 182 cm tall, fitting beneath standard bakery worktop extractor hoods. A lever-activated trolley, available separately, lets the operator raise the unit clear of the floor for cleaning.

Controls are minimal: the pedal initiates rounding, and the handles on either side steady the machine during use. The 0.55 kW motor drives only the rounding drum, so the electrical load is light enough for a single-phase 400 V circuit commonly found in professional bakeries.

The 2.7 kg maximum capacity determines the largest batch the machine can process in one load. This suits small to medium production runs of rolls, buns or dough pieces that require rounding before proofing. The weight of 245 kg uncrated and 268 kg crated indicates the unit is moved with a pallet truck or trolley rather than carried by hand.

Cleaning follows from the exposed surfaces: the stainless steel hopper, drum and belt are wiped down after each shift, and the floor beneath is swept once the machine is raised on its trolley. No disassembly is required for daily upkeep.

The DR-M/36s is the pedal-operated variant of the Diro manual divider rounder series. It is listed in the Rollmatic catalogue under dough sheeters and rounding equipment for artisan and small-scale bakeries.
