Dough sheeter ROLLMATIC R65/12I

A manual dough sheeter stretches and laminates dough between adjustable rollers, replacing hand-rolling with even, repeatable pressure. The R65/12I uses a motor-driven roller pair to pull the dough forward while a second, adjustable roller above it presses down, thinning the sheet to the chosen thickness. An inverter drive smooths the motor speed, preventing sudden jerks that can tear delicate doughs such as puff pastry or filo.

To use the sheeter, the operator sets the gap between the rollers using the calibrated hand-wheel, then feeds the dough through the front opening. The rollers grip and draw the sheet forward; the operator catches it on the far side and may pass it through again, reducing the gap each time until the desired thickness is reached. A safety bar across the front stops the rollers if pressed, protecting hands and clothing.

The frame is constructed from painted steel, while the rollers are stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning. The worktop and side panels are also stainless steel, providing a hygienic surface that resists dough adhesion. A single-phase 230 V motor powers the rollers, drawing 1.1 kW and running on standard UK domestic or commercial circuits without requiring a three-phase supply.

The 650 mm roller width allows sheets up to that size to be processed in a single pass, reducing handling time for large batches. The overall footprint of 779 mm front-to-back, 3050 mm side-to-side and 1265 mm high fits into a long worktop or island bench, while the weight of 232–270 kg ensures stability during operation. A 50 mm note in the specifications refers to the maximum dough thickness the rollers can accept in a single pass.

Cleaning involves removing any dough residue from the rollers and worktop with a scraper or damp cloth, then wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a sanitising solution. The painted steel frame can be cleaned with a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads that could damage the finish. Regular lubrication of the hand-wheel mechanism and roller bearings is recommended to maintain smooth adjustment and operation.

The R65/12I is positioned in the ROLLMATIC catalogue as a mid-sized manual sheeter for professional bakeries and pastry kitchens that require precise thickness control without the complexity of a fully automatic machine.
