The DM-18 is an economic manual pizza dough press that is perfect for low
to medium production volumes (75-100/hr). It is a fast, safe, simple,
mess-free (no flour needed) alternative to hand tossing or
sheeting/rolling your pizza dough. The DM-18 is an easy, affordable way to
improve your production time as well as your finished product. The DM-18
is a clamshell design with an upper heated platen.
The DM-18 is a quick, safe way to flatten your pizza dough without the
need for flour, multiple pass dough rollers, and best of all – no skilled
labor. The Variable Thickness Control ensures that your operators are
consistently making dough to a specific thickness.
Heated Upper Platen & Pressing Tips
aids dough flow
allows dough to be pressed straight from refrigeration unit
helps keep dough from shrinking back
keeps dough from sticking to upper platen
will help activate yeast for faster proofing if desired
Recommended Time: Warm dough, moderate to high yeast…2 seconds - Cold
dough, moderate yeast…4-6 seconds- Cold dough, small amount of yeast…8
seconds
Presses require no skilled labor unlike hand tossing
Presses are safe and have no age requirements unlike sheeters/rollers
18” platen allows for making variable crust sizes and thickness up to 18
inches – the size of the crust is determined by the weight of the dough
ball and the thickness setting.
Depends on the desired size of the crust…9” to 18” = 75-100/hr, 7” to 9”
= 150-200/hr, 6” or under = 300-400/hr
Makes it possible to achieve desired thickness and ensures consistent
thickness at the same dough ball weight
