Dough divider for pita production line

Accurate two-row dough portioning

The dough divider for the pita production line accurately portions dough pieces into two rows, ensuring consistent weight, size, and smooth workflow for high-quality pita bread manufacturing. With interchangeable nozzles, the system allows quick adjustment of dough piece diameter, making the pita line flexible, efficient, and suitable for different product specifications.

Pita line dough divider with rotating knives

Stable operation with sticky dough

The pita line dough divider is equipped with special rotating knives inside the hopper to prevent dough from sticking, allowing stable operation even with very sticky yeast dough. The pneumatic lifting hopper provides easy access for cleaning the removable augers, improving hygiene, maintenance, and overall efficiency in pita bread production.

Pita line stainless steel proofing chamber

Stainless steel proofing chamber

The pita line proofing chamber is made entirely of stainless steel to ensure hygienic operation and long-lasting performance in high-humidity conditions. Adjustable proofing time and microclimate parameters help maintain consistent dough fermentation, improving product quality and production stability.

Pita line dough divider augers

Gentle dough feeding and easy sanitation

The dough divider augers are made from special high-strength plastic to gently move the dough without damaging its structure during feeding and portioning. The hopper is mounted on pneumatic lifters, providing convenient access for washing, sanitation, and routine maintenance of the pita production line.

Pita proofing chambers

Controlled dough relaxation

The pita line proofing chambers create the required microclimate, allowing the dough to rest for the necessary time after sheeting and rolling. This controlled dough relaxation helps release internal stress, improve elasticity, and support consistent pita bread quality during production.

Pita tunnel oven

Uniform baking and precise temperature control

Uniform baking of pita bread is achieved with an oven that allows precise control of temperature, baking time, and convection settings. Separate baking zones make it possible to fine-tune the process, ensuring consistent color, texture, and quality across the entire pita production line.

Hygienic pita production line

Hygienic design for food processing

All structural elements of the pita production line are designed and manufactured in compliance with strict sanitary standards for safe food processing. This hygienic design supports easy cleaning, reliable operation, and consistent product quality in industrial pita bread production.

Pita rolling machine

Cross-rolling for stable shape

The pita line rolling machine works in two mutually perpendicular directions to form dough pieces with the required dimensions and uniform thickness. This cross-rolling process improves shape consistency, supports stable pita bread production, and helps achieve predictable product quality.

Pita line control panels

Easy process control

The control panels of the pita production line provide all the necessary adjustments and settings for precise process control. Easy access to operating parameters helps operators manage production speed, temperature, timing, and equipment performance for consistent pita bread quality.

How the line works

Dough preparation: The operator prepares all ingredients for mixing the pita dough. The dough for automatic pita production contains yeast and a large amount of water, making it sticky and runny.

Stress-free division: After kneading, the dough enters the dough divider hopper. Teflon augers divide the dough pieces without excessive stress. The dividing error is no more than 0.5%.

Proofing and rolling: Pieces move through preliminary leavening and double-flow rolling. Teflon roll shafts and flouring mechanisms prevent sticking and support stable round shape.

Quality check: The check-machine can be installed between rolling and final leavening to reject pieces with incorrect shape before baking.

Baking and pocket formation: The electric tunnel oven uses special temperature zones and infrared background. Dough pieces rise and form an empty cavity inside the pita bread — the pocket.

Gentle cooling and packing: Continuous spiral cooling helps protect the pocket, retain product moisture and maintain freshness before stacking and flow-pack integration.
