The DoughXpress D-TXE-2-18-W Electro-mechanical Automatic Tortilla/Pizza Dough Press
Why Use DoughXpress Dual-Heat Press?
The D-TXE-2-18 commercial electromechanical model dough press
automatically presses dough without the need of hydraulics or supplied
air, making it an easy and affordable way to improve your production time
as well as your finished product.
Easy To Use
The D-TXE-2-18-W is for high volume production. The large 18″ round dual
heated platens add versatility to the press. Heat both platens to make up
to six fresh tortillas at once or make an 18″ par-baked pizza crust. Use a
cold press to flatten chicken, pork, or veal to create larger plate
coverage. With the lower platen swing out design, dough placement and
removal is fast and easy. The easy-to-use digital controls require
virtually no training and cut the high cost of skilled labor.The large 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 thickness setting. This is the easy way to make consistent pizza
in a fast, productive environment.
Dual Heated Platen
Pizza/Tortilla Dough:
Speeds up production (faster pressing times)
Enables pressing thinner products
Aids dough flow
Allows dough to be pressed straight from refrigeration unit
Helps keep dough from shrinking back
Pizza Dough:
Enables pressing thinner products
Aids in pressing sticky dough
Helps activate yeast for faster proofing if desired
Enables par baking pizza crust
Tortilla Dough: Initial grill off for tortillas
Labor & Production
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
Pressed dough keeps air in the crust vs. sheeted dough where the air is
forced out of the crust. Pressed dough is consistent in thickness and
size vs. hand tossed where the thickness and size can be inconsistent
Makes it possible to achieve desired thickness and ensures consistent
thickness at the same dough ball weight
