Dough sheeter ROLLMATIC R65A/14

A dough sheeter automates the rolling and thinning of dough by passing it between two adjustable rollers. The rollers press the dough evenly, removing manual effort and ensuring consistent thickness across large batches. A conveyor belt carries the sheeted dough forward, allowing continuous processing without stopping to reposition. This method speeds up production while reducing strain on operators, making it essential for bakeries and pizzerias handling high volumes of pastry, bread, or pizza bases.

The ROLLMATIC R65 A/14 begins with loading the dough onto the infeed belt. The operator selects a pre-set programme on the 7.0" touch screen, which controls roller gap, belt speed, and direction. The dough passes through the rollers, thinning with each pass until the desired thickness is reached. Foldable wings on either side extend the work surface, preventing dough from sagging or tearing as it exits. A reverse button and optional pedal allow the operator to return the dough for additional passes without manual handling. The outgoing belt moves at speeds between 10 and 60 metres per minute, adjustable to match the dough's elasticity and the required output.

The sheeter's frame is constructed from sandblasted powder-coated steel, providing resistance to wear and corrosion in a busy kitchen. Protective grids over moving parts include safety microswitches, stopping the machine if opened during operation. A gas spring assists in lifting the grids, while a quick-release scraper removes dough residue from the rollers without tools. The flour collection box also features a safety microswitch, preventing operation if removed. Wheels on the base allow the unit to be repositioned between tasks, and the right leg can be fitted with additional wheels for stability.

Controls include the touch screen for selecting programmes and adjusting settings, a reverse button for returning dough, and an optional pedal for hands-free operation. The 230 V single-phase power supply plugs into a standard UK kitchen circuit, while the 2 kW power rating indicates a moderate load suitable for most commercial electrical setups. The unit's weight, ranging from 275 to 335 kg, requires two operators or a trolley for movement, and its footprint of 805 mm depth, 3880 mm width, and 1280 mm height demands a dedicated work area.

Cleaning involves removing the conveyor belt for washing, releasing the scraper to clean the rollers, and emptying the flour collection box. The quick-release systems for the belt and scraper simplify daily maintenance, while the powder-coated steel resists moisture and dough adhesion. Optional accessories include a right shelf with basins for ingredients, a dough forming table for shaping, and a stainless steel finish for enhanced durability.

The R65 A/14 is one of three models, differing in wing dimensions: 650x1400 mm for this unit, with larger options available for increased capacity. The catalogue positions it as a mid-sized automatic sheeter for professional kitchens requiring precision and speed in dough preparation.
