Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 500 to 3,000 pieces per hour, depending on product size and line configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with varying amperage requirements for individual components.

Footprint

A complete pitta bread manufacturing line can require a significant floor area, typically ranging from 15 to 30 metres in length, depending on the number and size of components.

Temperature range (oven)

Ovens for pitta bread commonly operate at high temperatures, typically between 250°C and 400°C, to achieve rapid baking and characteristic puffing.

Typical product size range

The line can typically be configured to produce pitta bread with diameters commonly ranging from 10 cm to 25 cm.

Materials of construction

Components in contact with food are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Automation level

These lines are typically highly automated, featuring PLC control and HMI interfaces for operational management.
