Bakeries and noodle shops often buy a forming machine first, then discover skins are still uneven at peak hour. A commercial dough sheeter (catalog name: noodle press) rolls dough into a controlled thickness and width at a published kg/h rate. It does not wrap buns or dumplings—that is a separate former.

1. Quick Answer: Which CHINENG Dough Sheeter?

Direct answer: Match peak dough kg per hour, target sheet thickness, sheet width, and site voltage—not dining-room seats.

• ~550 kg/h, width <330 mm, 380V → CN-XZ-YMZD-350B-380/2.2 (thickness 7–18 mm)

• ~700 kg/h, width <350 mm, thickness 5–25 mm → 350A-220 or 350A-380

• ~1000 kg/h, width <500 mm → 500A-220 or 500A-380

Catalog starting price for the noodle press line is about $322 (machine only; excludes shipping, on-site service, and tax). Confirm the live quote on the product page.

2. What a Dough Sheeter Does (and Does Not Do)

On the CHINENG noodle press / dough sheeter page, you are buying a machine that presses dough into a continuous sheet. Buyers usually care about:

• Capacity — kg of dough processed per hour

• Thickness range — e.g. 5–25 mm or 7–18 mm

• Sheet width — <330 / <350 / <500 mm

• Voltage — 220V and/or 380V by model

It does not replace a dumpling former or bun former. Typical line: mix → sheet → cut/form → cook. For cooking noodles after sheeting, see the commercial noodle cooker selection guide.

3. Size by kg/h, Thickness, and Width

Hand rolling fails at the busiest prep window, not on average daily kilos. Use four steps:

1. Estimate peak-hour dough kg (fresh sheets + refill for freezers)

2. Add buffer for dough rests and changeovers (+20–30%)

3. Match published kg/h on the model sheet

4. Confirm thickness and width cover your SKUs

Worked example: A dumpling shop sheets ~520 kg in the busiest prep hour and wants buffer → ×1.25 ≈ 650 kg/h → start with 350A (~700 kg/h). A 550 kg/h 350B may bottleneck if volume grows.

4. CHINENG Model Ladder

Specs from the live catalog (confirm before order):

Approximate footprints on the same page: 350A about 1140×630×1070 mm (~230 kg); 500A about 1310×770×1220 mm (~330 kg). Measure doorways before you order.

5. 220V vs 380V

• Only 220V on site → look at 350A-220 or 500A-220

• 380V available → 350B / 350A-380 / 500A-380 as capacity needs grow

• 350B catalog listing is 380V—do not assume every sheeter is single-phase

Confirm breaker capacity and cable size with your electrician before install.

6. Pairing with Dumpling & Bun Machines

Plan sheeter + former together when peak needs both uniform skins and forming output. Buy former only if skins are already stable (outsourced sheets or existing press). Buy sheeter only if you hand-form or only sell sheeted noodles/skins.

7. Decision Tree

Need uniform dough sheets at peak? → Yes → estimate kg/h + thickness + width.
Only 220V? → Prefer 350A-220 or 500A-220.
Need <350 mm width and ~700 kg/h? → 350A.
Need wider sheet / ~1000 kg/h? → 500A.
Also forming dumplings or buns? → Add the matching former from the guides above—do not expect one machine to do both.

8. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is a “noodle press” the same as a dough sheeter?
A: On the CHINENG English catalog, the product is titled noodle press; buyers searching dough sheeter are looking at the same CN-XZ-YMZD line—sheet dough by kg/h, thickness, and width.

Q: Can one sheeter feed both a dumpling line and a bun line?
A: Yes if capacity covers combined peak kg/h. Formers still need separate molds and setups—see dumpling and bun guides.

Q: Does it cook noodles?
A: No. Sheeting only. Cooking is a noodle cooker / boiler decision (noodle cooker guide).

Q: What if I only have 220V?
A: Choose 350A-220 or 500A-220 from the catalog. 350B is listed as 380V.
