Overview
Our pita and flatbread sheeting lines deliver uniform dough sheets and consistently shaped products at high volume. Using continuous sheeting with adjustable roller gaps, the line handles a wide range of dough types and produces pita, lavash, naan, roti, chapati and similar flatbreads to your exact size and thickness.
For Middle Eastern and Arabic breads, the line can be equipped with a high-temperature tunnel oven capable of reaching up to 550 °C, with the short baking times these products require.
