The PS14 is a 14-inch aluminium pizza screen used in commercial pizza operations to promote airflow during deck or conveyor oven baking. Perforated construction allows heat to reach the base while preventing dough from sticking during high-volume service. Designed for pizzerias, hotel restaurants, and catering operations running multiple pizza sizes per shift.
Commercial Application
Pizza screens fit into multi-deck oven workflows where consistent base texture is required across high output volumes. Operators place stretched dough directly onto the screen before loading into deck or conveyor ovens. The perforated base allows direct heat contact with dough while maintaining structural support during handling and transfer.
Used during prep and baking stages when operators need repeatable portion control and uniform base cooking. The 14-inch diameter matches standard menu sizing for medium pizzas in takeaway and dine-in operations. Screens stack for storage and rotate through washing cycles between services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What oven temperature range is the PS14 rated for?
A: The aluminium construction withstands typical deck oven temperatures of 260-315°C used in commercial pizza baking. Material does not warp or degrade under repeated thermal cycling at these ranges.
Q: Does the screen work with stone deck or steel conveyor ovens?
A: The PS14 functions in both configurations. Stone deck ovens benefit from the perforated airflow while the screen provides a stable surface for conveyor belt transfer. Operators use screens to protect dough during handling before direct stone contact.
Q: Can the screen be used in gas and electric deck ovens?
A: Yes. The aluminium construction and perforation pattern are compatible with both fuel types. Heat distribution remains consistent regardless of burner or element configuration.
Q: How many pizzas per screen during high-volume service?
A: One 14-inch pizza per screen. Operators typically maintain a rotating inventory of 12-24 screens per oven deck to match peak service output.
Q: Is the screen dishwasher safe for commercial warewashing?
A: Yes. The aluminium and perforation design withstand commercial dishwasher cycles. Screens should be racked vertically to ensure water drainage and prevent pooling.
