Döner Spit – Choosing the Right Size and Weight

Döner spit – choosing the right size and weight

The size of the döner spit directly affects your profitability: a spit that is too big leads to waste, one that is too small means constant reloading. Here's how to find the right measure.

It depends on demand

The right size depends on your daily sales. If you sell a lot, a larger spit pays off; with lower throughput, a smaller spit avoids leftovers and quality loss.

Freshness over quantity

A döner spit should be sold within a reasonable time frame so that quality and hygiene remain intact. It's better to skewer fresh meat more often than to risk leftovers with an oversized spit.

Matched to the machine

The spit size must match the capacity of your döner machine (e.g. 40–120 kg, depending on the model). Check the height and load capacity of the machine.

Build it correctly

Regardless of size, an even build matters for even cooking – see building a döner spit correctly.

Conclusion: The right spit size balances freshness, quantity and machine capacity. MAVI advises you on the right combination of döner machine and capacity for your business.
