Fimar FI42 16" Dough Roller for Pizza & Flatbreads

The Fimar FI42 is a countertop dough roller designed for commercial kitchens that need to produce rolled dough bases quickly and consistently. It passes dough portions through a pair of food-safe polypropylene rollers, pressing them into flat, even discs ready for topping or cooking. A thickness adjustment lever allows operators to control the final thickness of the dough, making it practical for a range of products beyond pizza — including naan, chapati, and similar flatbreads.

In a busy pizzeria or takeaway kitchen, hand-stretching every base becomes a bottleneck during peak service. A machine like this removes that constraint and reduces the reliance on skilled dough-stretching technique, meaning more consistent results across the team regardless of individual experience. The spring-loaded scrapers continuously clean the rollers during use, which helps maintain hygiene and prevents dough build-up that would otherwise affect output quality. The polypropylene rollers are durable under sustained use and straightforward to clean at the end of service.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Consistent dough thickness across every base, reducing waste and rework
• Faster prep throughput compared to hand-stretching during high-volume service
• Spring-loaded scrapers keep rollers clean continuously during operation
• Stainless steel construction supports the demands of a commercial kitchen environment
• Perspex roller guards offer a basic level of operator protection during use

Installation is straightforward — the FI42 is a standalone countertop unit requiring only a standard electrical supply and sufficient worktop space to allow dough to feed in and exit cleanly. There are no water connections or ventilation requirements. It is worth ensuring the worktop or prep table is at a comfortable working height and stable enough to handle the machine's operation without movement.

The FI42 is well suited to small to medium-sized pizzerias, takeaways, and catering operations producing a steady volume of pizza or flatbread bases. It is a practical entry point into mechanised dough rolling. Sites producing very high volumes continuously across long service periods may find a heavier-duty or larger-capacity model better matched to their throughput demands.
