Dual Heat Clamshell 18 Inches Tortilla Press Pizza Dough Flattener ME-P18E-UBM

The manual clamshell mechanism allows staff to flatten dough balls quickly without relying on hydraulics or air compressors. The weighted handle provides leverage, reducing the physical force needed to press firm dough. This design speeds up workflow during peak service hours, allowing a single operator to press hundreds of crusts per shift without fatigue.

Both upper and bottom plates contain heating elements that par-bake the dough slightly upon contact. This dual-heating action prevents the dough from shrinking back (snap-back) after pressing. It creates a dry skin on the dough surface, ensuring the crust slides easily off the plate and moves to the makeup line without sticking or tearing.

A calibrated dial controls the gap between the plates, allowing chefs to switch between menu items instantly. Set a thin gap for crispy tortillas or a wider gap for thick-crust pizza bases. This precision ensures every product leaves the kitchen with consistent diameter and thickness, helping managers maintain standard portion costs.

The press features smooth surfaces that resist flour buildup and oil residue. Kitchen staff can wipe down the plates and exterior housing with a damp cloth at the end of the night. The simple mechanical construction eliminates complex electronic panels, increasing reliability in hot, flour-filled kitchen environments.
