Pizza Screen Mesh GI.METAL DF22

The GI.METAL DF22 pizza screen is a small-diameter perforated aluminium ring used in tunnel ovens for baking individual-portion pizzas. It is made of untreated aluminium with a crimped mesh weave, which lets hot air reach the dough more evenly than a solid deck would.

DF22 belongs to the GI.METAL range of pizza screens with a flat surface and a seamless edge, making the item easier to clean after a shift and reducing the risk of dough or topping residue getting caught at a joint. Its compact diameter suits kitchens that bake smaller pizza formats, such as school canteens, kindergarten catering units and hospital cafés.

Features

• Round shape with an actual diameter of 22.7 cm, matching a single-portion pizza format.
• Untreated aluminium (AR) construction — lightweight and resistant to deformation under heat.
• Crimped mesh with a flat surface gives the dough direct contact with the hot air flow.
• Seamless edge — fewer spots where dough or fat residue can collect.
• Compatible with tunnel ovens; in other oven types it helps regulate the temperature near the base of the pizza.
• An alternative to a solid deck: more direct heat radiation and faster baking of the base.

Specifications

Pizza screens like this one are used in kitchens equipped with continuous tunnel ovens, giving consistent baking results across large batches during a shift. In other oven types, DF22 can serve as a supporting tool that regulates the temperature right at the base of the dough.

For kitchens in schools and healthcare facilities that bake pizza in smaller portioned formats, the 22.7 cm diameter allows equipment to be matched to a specific crust size without changing the recipe or process card.
