Increase Production and Save Yourself Time with Dough Sheeters

Whether you are starting your own bakery or graduating from your manual dough sheeter, the automatic alternative is an absolute must. Not only can you save time and money, but increase profit and productivity by producing more goods at a faster rate. If that doesn’t sound appealing, we don’t know what does!

So, now we know professional dough sheeters are more efficient, but what else will we cover in this article?

What Is the Difference Between a Manual Sheeter and an Electric Dough Sheeter?

A manual sheeter requires more effort as these machines are very small. You need to roll each piece of dough by hand by consistently spinning the handle, which can cause hand cramps after repeated use.

However, an electric bakery sheeter does all the hard work and is much bigger. It flattens dough extremely quickly, so all you have to do is gently move the handle and flour the machine. You may even have extra features that slice the dough or create patterns.

How Does a Dough Sheeter Work?

The easiest way to tell you how a dough sheeter works is to give you some simple step-by-step instructions using our Ferneto pastry sheeters. They are extremely easy to use despite their intimidating look and size.

1. Sprinkle some flour across the conveyor belt
2. Place your dough onto the conveyor belt
3. Adjust the speed and press the green button to turn on the unit
4. Move the big stainless steel handle to set the thickness of the dough, and move the small black handles to change direction of the conveyor belt
5. Repeat the process

If your dough is not forming the correct shape, simply refold it and continue using the pastry sheeter. It may take a few attempts to get the right consistency, but you will find your rhythm eventually.

Here’s a video of how our Ferneto pastry sheeter works:

How Big Are Dough Sheeters?

How Much Does a Dough Sheeter Cost?

There is no average price of a pastry sheeter as it depends on the model and size. However, newer models are usually more expensive, but offer a better range of features.

We provide an efficient unit for everyone at a reasonable price, which is why we supply four very different models. All our bakery sheeters are available on finance from a minimum of £96 per month (excluding VAT), or you can buy them outright.

How to Maintain Your Dough Sheeter

Cleaning your bakery sheeter after each use and doing regular service checks will ensure your unit has a long lifespan. With proper maintenance, it will last longer than 10 years!

Here’s how to ensure your pastry sheeter stays in top condition:

1. Realign and/or put away any rollers, belts and cutting parts to reduce damage during your next use
2. Clean after each use with a microfibre cloth and non-chemical cleaner
3. Make sure the machine is turned off
4. Wipe away flour residue
5. Remove leftover dough
6. Check all areas (rollers, belts, scrapers, etc)
7. Inspect your machine for any worn or damaged parts—don’t use again until replaced or repaired
8. Properly cover and store your unit to keep it away from debris, dust and cross-contamination

When using your professional dough sheeter, you must follow the proper instructions and safety protocols that come with the machine. For example:

– How to clean, maintain and use it
– Ensuring no harmful chemicals, ingredients or tools are used on it
– Wearing the proper PPE (safety equipment)
