Performance & Key Features

• Production output (100 pizzas per hour): Supports steady service and prep efficiency for low-to-medium production volumes (75–100/hr).
• 18" capacity (presses up to 18” diameter): Flattens dough balls into pizzas up to 18 inches for versatile menu sizing.
• Clamshell design with heated upper platen: Fast, safe, simple operation that speeds up production while maintaining consistent pressing performance.
• Heated upper platen: Enables pressing thinner products, allows dough to be pressed straight from refrigeration, helps keep dough from shrinking, prevents sticking to the upper platen, aids in pressing sticky dough, and can help activate yeast for faster proofing if desired.
• Full-range thickness adjustment (paper thin to 7/8”): Dial in exact crust thickness for different styles—from ultra-thin to thick—without changing tools.
• Variable thickness control: Achieves your desired thickness and ensures consistent thickness from pizza to pizza for tighter quality control.
• Digital controls with color LCD touch screen: Easy-to-use controller with built-in programmable timer, temperature control, and a resettable counter for repeatable settings and production tracking.
• No flour needed: Mess-free alternative to hand tossing or sheeting/rolling to reduce cleanup and keep stations cleaner.
• Electrical (120V / 220V, 10 amps, 1,125 watts, 60 Hz, 1Ph): Flexible voltage options with efficient 1,125W heating performance; runs on single-phase power for straightforward installation planning.
