The DM-18 is a clamshell manual pizza dough press, perfect for low to medium production volumes and any budget. It is a fast, safe, simple, mess free alternative to hand tossing or sheeting your dough. The DM-18 has upper platen heat with a temperature maximum of 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat aids in dough flow, allows dough to be pressed straight from a refrigeration unit and helps keep dough from shrinking back or sticking to the upper platen. The dough press is an easy and affordable way to improve your production time as well as your finished product. A press keeps the air in the press versus sheeting dough where the air is forced out. It creates a product that with a consistent thickness versus hand-tossed where thicknesses can vary. The DM-18 has 18 inch round platens that allow for finished crusts up to 18 inches. The DM-18 is easy to use and requires no skilled labor unlike hand tossing. Set your temperature and press time. Recommended temperature for warm dough is 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and cold dough is 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Recommended time for warm dough is 2 to 4 seconds, and cold dough is 4 to 8 seconds. Set your thickness with the adjustment knob at the back of the press. The weight of the dough ball and the thickness setting will determine the size of the finished press. Place your pre-formed dough ball on the lower platen, pull down the handle until it locks into position, the timer will count down and the alert will sound when set time has elapsed. Release the handle. Remove your crust from the platen and place on screen, disc or pan. The top of the crust on the press becomes the bottom. Now you are ready for makeup and baking. The DM-18 is made in the USA and ships UPS in the continental US.
The economical DM-18 pizza dough press lets you flatten dough balls into pizzas up to 18" in diameter, without the need for flour, dough rollers or skilled labor! Its heated upper platen helps your dough balls flatten faster (the temperature adjusts up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit), or you can use it without heat for cold pressing.

This does not work for pizza dough, if you adjust it to where a thin crust should be you'd need two professional wrestlers on the handle end with another holding the back end down. Save the trouble and just spend the extra money on a sheeter.
We are sorry to hear that. A Customer Solutions Representative will be contacting you about the difficulties you are experiencing with the dough press. If you are looking for a dough sheeter, you can find them here. WEBstaurantStore.com Customer Solutions

this is perfect for high output pizzarias. This press provides nice even thin crusts. I have had the plesaseure of having one on the hot line during lunch and dinner services at a high end restaurant and it allowed me to spend more of my time tending to the delicate toppings.
