Dual Heat Clamshell 18 Inches Manual ETL Tortilla Pizza Dough Press ME-P18E-UB

The clamshell mechanism secures the dough firmly, ensuring a uniform round shape every time. Operators control the press manually, providing direct feedback to prevent over-pressing delicate doughs. This design allows staff to process high volumes of orders quickly without physical fatigue. The heavy-duty 51.5 KG build remains stable on the counter during repetitive use.

Both the upper and bottom plates contain heating elements to cook the dough from both sides simultaneously. This dual-heat action prevents the dough from shrinking back after pressing, maintaining the correct diameter. By applying immediate heat, the machine par-bakes the crust, which reduces the final cooking time in the oven. This function is essential for producing consistent tortillas and pizza bases.

Chefs can adjust the gap between the plates from 1mm to 15mm. This range handles various menu items, from thin-crust pizzas to thicker flatbreads or pita dough. The precise adjustment allows food chains to maintain strict portion control and product uniformity. Changing the thickness setting takes seconds, allowing one station to switch between recipes rapidly.

The machine utilizes surfaces that resist dough residue and oil buildup. Staff can wipe down the plates quickly between shifts to maintain hygiene standards. The durable construction withstands the heat and moisture common in professional kitchens, reducing the need for frequent repairs or part replacements.
