Fimar
Fimar FI42 16" Dough Roller for Pizza & Flatbreads
£1,192.00(£1,430.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Fimar FI42 is a countertop dough roller designed for commercial kitchens that need to produce flat, even dough bases quickly and consistently. Dough portions are fed through a pair of food-safe polypropylene rollers, which press them into uniform discs ready for topping or loading into the oven. A thickness adjustment lever gives operators direct control over the final result, making the machine practical for pizza bases, naan, chapati, and similar flatbreads.
In a busy pizzeria or takeaway kitchen, hand-stretching bases during peak service creates a natural bottleneck and depends heavily on individual skill. Mechanising that step removes both constraints — throughput increases and results stay consistent regardless of who is working the prep section. The spring-loaded scrapers clean the rollers continuously during operation, which keeps dough from building up on the rollers and maintains output quality throughout service without requiring manual intervention.
The main operational advantages in practice:
- Consistent dough thickness across every base, reducing waste and rework
- Faster prep throughput than hand-stretching during high-volume periods
- Spring-loaded scrapers maintain roller cleanliness throughout service
- Stainless steel construction withstands the demands of a commercial kitchen
- Perspex roller guards provide a practical level of operator protection during use
Installation is straightforward. The FI42 is a standalone countertop unit requiring only a standard electrical supply and adequate worktop space for dough to feed in and exit cleanly. There are no water connections or ventilation requirements. A stable, well-positioned prep surface at a comfortable working height will make a noticeable difference to ease of use in practice.
The FI42 is well suited to small and medium-sized pizzerias, takeaways, and catering operations running a steady volume of pizza or flatbread bases through service. It represents a practical entry point into mechanised dough rolling for kitchens that currently rely on hand-stretching. Sites operating at very high continuous volume across extended service periods may find a heavier-duty model better matched to their throughput demands.
If you are weighing up whether the FI42 fits your service volume or kitchen setup, our team is glad to talk it through before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
How many bases can the FI42 realistically produce during a busy service?
The FI42 is designed for small to medium-volume operations rather than high-throughput continuous production. For a typical takeaway or independent pizzeria running steady covers, it handles prep volume comfortably, but kitchens producing very large numbers of bases back-to-back across long service periods may find the pace limiting. If you are unsure whether it matches your expected output, it is worth discussing your service volume with us before ordering.
What are the installation requirements for the Fimar FI42?
The FI42 is a countertop unit with no water or ventilation connections required — it runs from a standard electrical supply. You will need sufficient worktop space for dough to feed in and clear the machine on exit, and a stable surface at a practical working height. It is one of the more straightforward pieces of prep equipment to introduce into an existing kitchen.
Can the FI42 be used for products other than pizza bases?
Yes — the adjustable thickness lever makes it practical for a range of flatbread products including naan and chapati, as well as other dough types that benefit from a consistent rolled finish. The key consideration is dough consistency; very stiff or heavily enriched doughs may behave differently, so it is worth testing with your own recipe before committing it to full production.
