Bread & Arabic Pita Production Line

A bread production line takes flour and ingredients through mixing, dividing and forming, proofing, baking, cooling and packaging. The equipment differs considerably by bread type: Arabic pita is produced on a line with a high-temperature tunnel oven that puffs the flatbread, while pan and toast bread require dividing, moulding, tin handling and a longer proofing and baking cycle.

Rolangear supplies toast bread production line equipment and can configure lines for Arabic pita and other bread products. Alongside these, the packaging equipment in the Rolangear catalogue — pillow packing, flow wrapping and bagging machines — completes the line.

This suits bakeries moving from manual or semi-automatic production to a continuous line, and new bakery projects. Bread lines are usually specified around a single primary product, with the line configured for that product's process.

Rolangear plans the line around your bread type and target output, specifies the equipment, sources and supplies it, and supports installation, commissioning and operator training. Scope is confirmed per project in a written technical proposal.

A bread line is normally built from the following equipment groups. The exact configuration depends on your bread type.

• Dough mixing — spiral or horizontal mixers sized to the batch.
• Dividing and rounding — dough is divided to weight and rounded.
• Forming and sheeting — moulding for pan bread, sheeting and cutting for flatbread.
• Proofing — controlled temperature and humidity proofing.
• Baking — tunnel or rotary ovens matched to the product.
• Cooling — cooling conveyors or spiral coolers before packaging.
• Slicing and packaging — slicing where required, then bagging or flow wrapping.

A bakery line requires a hygienic production area with separated flour handling, production and packaging zones. Floor space is required for the line in sequence plus ingredient and finished goods storage. Water, gas or electrical supply for the oven, and three-phase electrical supply are required. Specific requirements depend on the configuration and are confirmed in the technical proposal.
