The Retracting Dough Flattener is a multi-row flattening and cross-sheeting module with a retracting head that flattens dough pieces and transfers them cleanly to the next stage. Farhat configures the machine around the product, so dough condition, geometry, upstream flow and the next process are defined before the final model is released.
The machine’s role is specific: it is a multi-row flattening and cross-sheeting module with a retracting head that flattens dough pieces and transfers pizza or flatbread bases cleanly onward. Its value comes from making one critical operation repeatable while protecting the product for the next stage. Farhat engineers the product-contact path, drive arrangement, sensing, settings and transfer geometry as one system.
The retracting dough flattener can be considered for pizza bases, round flatbread, and multi-row base products requiring clean automatic transfer. Compatibility is confirmed with the intended dough or finished product.
The flattener is one forming and transfer stage within a complete pizza or flatbread line; final base quality depends on the upstream forming, conveyor and downstream topping or baking balance. The controls scope should define permissives, blocked-product detection, upstream stop logic, downstream-ready signals, emergency-stop zones and restart behavior.
The figures below describe the uploaded reference configuration; they are not universal guarantees for every Farhat project.
| Machine type | Retracting multi-row dough flattener |
| Key function | Flattening, cross-sheeting and automatic base transfer |
| Typical products | Pizza base, round flatbread |
| Layout | Multi-row parallel processing |
| Transfer | Retracting head for clean base placement |
Multi-row flattening and cross-sheeting module with a retracting transfer head. Adjustable base thickness and diameter, parallel row processing, recipe-driven settings, speed synchronized with upstream forming and downstream handling.
The retracting head places bases cleanly without deforming them, reducing manual handling. Cross-sheeting refines roundness and diameter. Multi-row layout raises throughput.
Configurable row count, flattening staging, cross-sheeting stroke and transfer programming to match your product and line. Retrofit scope may include transition conveyors, guarding and software interlocks.
It is a multi-row flattening and cross-sheeting module with a retracting head that flattens dough pieces and transfers pizza or flatbread bases cleanly onward. Farhat supplies it as a configured machine or as an integrated module within a bakery production line.
Typical applications include pizza bases, round flatbread, and multi-row base products requiring clean automatic transfer. Final compatibility depends on the recipe, product state, dimensions and required handling, so representative trials or samples are recommended.
Capacity is calculated from the approved product pitch, rows, mechanical cycle, belt speed and surrounding equipment. The quotation should distinguish a reference maximum from the expected net production rate for the customer’s SKU.
Yes, when a site survey or verified drawings establish the infeed and discharge elevations, available footprint, product flow, utilities and controls interface. Retrofit scope may include new transition conveyors, guarding and software interlocks.
Farhat needs product samples or photographs, recipe and dough conditions where relevant, dimensions and tolerances, required output, row layout, utilities, sanitation method, plant drawing and the upstream/downstream machine details.
