Tyron Round Dough Press – DP-18S

The Tyrone DP-18S is a clamshell round dough press with an 18 inch non-stick aluminium plate, adjustable from 1 to 15 mm and handling up to 680 g of dough. The distinguishing feature is that the upper plate heats to 98 °C, which relaxes the dough as it presses instead of fighting it. It runs in manual or digital mode from a digital panel showing time and temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, and needs a 15 A supply.

Why operators choose the DP-18S

• Heated upper plate to 98 degrees C — the reason to buy a press rather than a roller: warmth relaxes the gluten so the base holds its shape instead of springing back
• 1 to 15 mm thickness, fully adjustable — one machine covers a thin pizza base and a thick tortilla or flatbread
• 18 inch non-stick aluminium plate — large enough for a full pizza base, and non-stick means no dusting flour between presses
• Manual and digital operation — run it on feel or set it and let the panel repeat the same press every time
• Digital panel with time and temperature, Celsius or Fahrenheit — the settings are visible, so a result is repeatable by whoever is on shift
• Up to 680 g of dough per press — a genuine commercial dough ball rather than a token one
• 58 degree opening angle — enough clearance to load and lift out comfortably without fighting the lid
• Four plastic feet — it stays put under press force, which is what keeps the thickness even across the base
• Clamshell design — one motion down and up - the fastest format for repetitive base production

Specifications

Venue suitability

The DP-18S suits pizzerias, tortilla and flatbread producers, and any kitchen turning out bases in volume where hand-stretching is the bottleneck. At 470 mm square it takes little bench, but allow for the 857 mm height with the handle raised and settle the 15 A supply first.

Installation & delivery

It needs a 15 A supply. A 15 A plug has a larger earth pin and will not fit a standard 10 A socket, so confirm the circuit or budget for an electrician. The footprint is only 470 mm square, but the handle lifts the machine's maximum height to 857 mm — check that against any shelf or wall unit above the intended position, because 765 mm of cabinet height is not the figure that matters. The upper plate is heated, so leave clearance around it and treat it as hot equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Why does the heated plate matter?

The upper plate heats to 98 degrees C, which relaxes the gluten while the dough is under pressure. A cold press fights the dough and the base springs back; a warm one lets it hold the shape you pressed.

Q: How thick or thin can it press?

1 to 15 mm, adjustable across the full range, so it covers thin pizza bases through to thicker flatbreads and tortillas.

Q: How much clearance does it need above the bench?

More than its 765 mm cabinet height suggests - with the handle raised the maximum height is 857 mm. Measure against that figure, not the closed one.

Q: Will it run from a standard power point?

No. At 3,300 W it needs a 15 A supply. A 15 A plug has a larger earth pin and will not fit a standard 10 A socket, so confirm the circuit or budget for an electrician.

Q: What size dough ball does it take?

Up to 680 g per press.

Q: What warranty does the DP-18S come with?

Covered for 1 year on parts and labour. A further year of parts-only cover applies only if you register the product within 14 days of invoice — miss that window and the second year does not apply. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
