Product Description
The Roller Grill CDG 400 is a double-plate gas crepe machine designed for commercial and mobile catering use. It features two independently controlled cast iron cooking plates, allowing an operator to manage two crepes simultaneously or run each plate at a different temperature to suit different products or service stages.
In a busy service environment, the dual-plate format makes a meaningful difference to throughput. Each plate operates independently, so one can be held at temperature while the other is used for cooking, reducing idle time during a rush. The cast iron construction retains and distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, which is important for consistent results — uneven heat is one of the most common causes of poor-quality crepes in a production setting. The hard-enamelled, non-stick surface also supports faster turnaround between portions and makes cleaning more straightforward at the end of service.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Two independently controlled plates for flexible service management
- Even heat distribution from spiral-element design for consistent cooking results
- Hard-enamelled cast iron surface — non-stick and durable under sustained use
- Gas operation suits mobile and outdoor catering setups without reliance on mains electricity
- Compact footprint relative to output, useful where counter or service space is limited
As a gas appliance, the CDG 400 requires a suitable LPG or natural gas connection — confirm which gas type is required before ordering, as burner configuration differs. The unit is well suited to mobile catering trailers, market stalls, and event catering where a reliable mains electricity supply cannot be guaranteed. It is also used in fixed café and restaurant settings. While the dual plates increase output compared to a single-plate machine, operators running very high volumes continuously — such as a dedicated crepe concession at a large venue — may find a heavier-duty or larger-format unit better matched to demand.
The CDG 400 is a practical choice for operators wanting a reliable, portable crepe station: mobile caterers, café kitchens adding crepes to their menu, and event catering businesses where theatre cooking adds value to the customer experience. If you are unsure whether the single or double plate format better suits your service volume, or have questions about gas supply compatibility, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The CDG 400 is available in configurations for either LPG or natural gas, and burner settings differ between the two — it is important to confirm which gas supply you are working with before ordering. If you are using it for mobile or event catering, LPG is the more common choice. The team can advise on the correct specification for your setup.
- For occasional or low-volume service, a single-plate machine is often sufficient. The double-plate format is better suited to situations where you need continuous output — for example, a busy market stall, a café running crepes as a core menu item, or an event where demand is sustained over several hours. If you are unsure which configuration matches your expected throughput, it is worth discussing your service pattern before choosing.
- The hard-enamelled cast iron surface is designed to be non-stick, which significantly reduces residue build-up during service and makes plate cleaning more manageable at the end of a shift. Cast iron plates do benefit from correct seasoning and careful drying after cleaning to maintain their surface condition — this is standard practice with professional crepe equipment and is not onerous once it becomes routine.
