The tortilla making machine integrates automatic shaping, constant-temperature heating, conveyor cooling, and cutting/trimming into a single unit. It is widely used for the large-scale production of various flatbreads, including Chinese flatbreads, naan, tortillas, spring rolls, and Peking duck wraps.
The equipment utilizes an electric heating control system that maintains a stable temperature range of 150–280°C and supports adjustable dough thickness from 0.3 to 3 mm, meeting the process requirements of various products.
The machine’s production capacity ranges from 200 to 1,800 pieces per hour and can be flexibly configured based on different models. It is suitable for continuous automated production across various scales, from small-scale food service operations to industrial food factories, significantly improving efficiency and reducing labor costs.

Equipment structure and operating principle
The chapati machine employs a fully automated, integrated production process. Its main components include:
- Flour Hopper
- Control Panel
- Heating Plate
- Chapati Forming Device
- Noodle Cutting Device
- Cooling Conveyor
After the dough enters the hopper, the control system sets the parameters (speed, pressure, size, and temperature). The tortill making machine automatically performs portioning, pressing and shaping, and heating and proofing. The dough is then transported through a multi-layer conveyor system for cooling, and finally, the finished flatbread blanks are output, achieving fully automated, unmanned production.

Pancake production process and storage procedures
- Mix the ingredients in the specified proportions and blend thoroughly using a mixer.
- Pour the dough into the machine’s hopper, then set the temperature and production parameters.
- The machine automatically performs portioning, pressing, proofing, and conveying.
- The finished products are conveyed through a three-tier cooling rack to the discharge outlet.
- After cooling, the products can be portioned or vacuum-packed.
- Once packaged, they can be frozen at -18°C, with a shelf life of approximately 90 days.
To restore texture, products can be reheated using a microwave, steamed, or pan-fried.
