Dough sheeter SIGMA SFG500B

A dough sheeter stretches and laminates pastry by passing the dough between two rotating cylinders. The cylinders press the dough into an even sheet, removing air pockets and aligning the gluten strands. This method gives consistent thickness and texture, which is essential for layered pastries, croissants and laminated doughs. The speed difference between the cylinders and the conveyor belt pulls the dough forward while the cylinders roll it flat, preventing tearing and ensuring a smooth finish.

To use the SIGMA SFG500B, the operator raises the arms, places the dough on the conveyor belt, and lowers the arms back into position. The thickness is set with the adjustment handle, and the machine is started. The dough passes through the cylinders, emerging as a uniform sheet ready for cutting or folding. The reversible scrapers lift away any dough residue from the cylinders, keeping the surface clean during operation.

The sheeter is built with ground and polished hard-chrome cylinders 73 mm in diameter. The arms are dismountable and rise to allow easy cleaning and dough handling. The conveyor belts run at different speeds to match the rolling action, and the maximum opening between the cylinders is 48 mm, accommodating thicker doughs or multiple passes.

The 0.55 kW motor runs on a 400 V three-phase supply, which is standard for professional kitchen equipment and provides steady torque for continuous rolling. The unit weighs 125 kg, indicating a stable worktop installation rather than a portable appliance. When opened, the footprint is 1920 mm wide, 975 mm deep and 612 mm high; when closed, it folds to 750 mm wide, 955 mm deep and 825 mm high, saving space in organised kitchens.

Cleaning involves removing the arms, wiping the cylinders and scrapers, and brushing the conveyor belts. The hard-chrome surface resists sticking and is easy to maintain. The reversible scrapers can be turned to present a fresh edge when one side wears.

The SFG500B is a single model; no variants are listed. The cylinders and stand are noted as separate articles, allowing replacement or upgrade without replacing the entire unit.
