Industrial Dough Flattener Product Introduction

The Dough Flattener is a professional bakery processing machine developed to flatten dough quickly and evenly before shaping, cutting, filling, or baking. By applying controlled rolling pressure, the machine produces dough sheets with consistent thickness and shape while preserving the dough’s internal structure and elasticity.

Compared with manual dough rolling, the machine greatly improves production efficiency, minimizes flour consumption, and reduces product variation. It is widely used in industrial bakeries, frozen dough factories, central kitchens, and commercial food production facilities where consistent dough quality is essential.

Manufactured from food-grade stainless steel, the equipment offers hygienic operation, easy cleaning, and reliable performance during continuous production. It can be integrated into automatic bakery production lines or used as a standalone machine.

Working principle

The Dough Flattener feeds dough portions into a precision roller system, where controlled pressure gradually flattens the dough into a uniform sheet. Adjustable roller spacing allows operators to set the required thickness for different products. The flattened dough is then transferred by a food-grade conveyor to the next processing stage, such as cutting, shaping, filling, laminating, proofing, or baking, ensuring continuous and efficient bakery production.

Working Process

Dough Preparation → Dough Feeding → Roller Flattening → Thickness Adjustment → Dough Sheet Conveying → Cutting / Forming / Filling (Optional) → Proofing → Baking → Cooling → Packaging
