A Multi-Function Chapati/Pita Bread Production Line is a specialized system designed to automate the production of flatbreads like chapati, pita, and other similar products. These production lines are widely used in the food industry to ensure efficiency, consistency, and hygiene in large-scale production. Below are general instructions and key components of such a production line:
Key Components of the Production Line
1. Dough Mixer:
Mixes flour, water, yeast, and other ingredients to form a consistent dough.
Ensure proper mixing time and speed to achieve the desired dough texture.
2. Dough Divider:
Divides the dough into equal-sized portions for uniformity.
Adjust the divider to produce the required weight for each dough ball.
3. Dough Rounder:
Shapes the divided dough into smooth, round balls.
Ensure the rounder is set to the correct speed and pressure for optimal shaping.
4. Proofing Chamber:
Allows the dough balls to rest and rise under controlled temperature and humidity.
Monitor proofing time to ensure proper fermentation.
5. Sheeter/Rolling Machine:
Flattens the dough balls into thin, even sheets or discs.
Adjust the thickness settings according to the desired product.
6. Automatic Baker (Oven):
Bakes the flattened dough into chapati or pita bread.
Control the temperature and baking time to achieve the desired texture and color.
7. Cooling Conveyor:
Cools the baked bread before packaging.
Ensure proper airflow to prevent condensation.
8. Packaging Machine:
Packs the cooled bread into bags or boxes for distribution.
Adjust the packaging settings for different product sizes.
Operating Instructions
1. Preparation:
Ensure all ingredients are measured and ready.
Clean and sanitize all equipment before starting.
2. Dough Mixing:
Load ingredients into the dough mixer.

3. Dividing and Rounding:
Transfer the mixed dough to the divider.
Adjust the divider and rounder settings for consistent dough ball size.
4. Proofing:
Place the dough balls in the proofing chamber.
Set the temperature and humidity for optimal fermentation.
5. Sheeting/Rolling:
Pass the proofed dough balls through the sheeter.
Adjust the thickness settings as needed.
6. Baking:
Transfer the flattened dough to the oven.
Monitor the baking process to ensure even cooking.
7. Cooling and Packaging:
Allow the baked bread to cool on the conveyor.
Package the cooled bread using the packaging machine.
