Dough sheeter SIGMA FB700

A dough sheeter stretches and laminates dough by passing it between rotating cylinders. The SIGMA FB700 specialises in baguettes, using three independently regulated cylinders to shape dough pieces from 120 to 1200 g. Each cylinder applies controlled pressure, gradually thinning the dough while maintaining its structure. This method ensures even thickness and consistent texture, which is essential for uniform baking and a professional finish.

To operate the FB700, the baker places a dough piece onto the infeed tray. The first cylinder draws the dough in, then passes it to the second and third cylinders, each set to a finer gap. The operator adjusts the gap settings for each cylinder to match the desired weight and shape of the baguette. Once the dough exits the final cylinder, it is ready for proofing and baking. The wheeled base allows the unit to be moved between workstations without lifting.

The sheeter is constructed with a stainless steel frame and cylinders, mounted on a sturdy base with lockable wheels for stability during use. The controls consist of individual adjustment knobs for each cylinder, allowing precise regulation of dough thickness at each stage. A power rating of 0.55 kW indicates a modest electrical load, suitable for standard kitchen circuits.

The size of 1020 by 1050 by 1520 mm provides a compact footprint for a machine that handles large dough pieces, while the 240 kg weight ensures stability without requiring permanent installation. The three-cylinder configuration allows the sheeter to process a wide range of dough weights, from small baguettes to larger loaves, without manual reworking.

Cleaning involves removing dough residues from the cylinders and trays after each use. The stainless steel surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent, while the wheels and base require occasional checks to ensure smooth movement. The adjustable cylinders should be inspected regularly to maintain consistent pressure and prevent uneven wear.

The FB700 is designed for professional bakeries producing baguettes and similar breads, where consistent shaping and efficient workflow are critical.
