Automatic Pancake Forming Machine Boosts a Tortilla Bakery’s Output by 4x

A North-American-style tortilla bakery swapped semi-automatic presses for our AMCO-style automatic pancake forming machine and quadrupled daily output.

Automatic Pancake Forming Machine Boosts a Tortilla Bakery’s Output by 4x — learn how Yuerui Machinery supports your production with reliable equipment and engineering.

A North-American-style tortilla bakery in California was running two semi-automatic presses with five operators per shift. Output topped out at 3,000 pieces per shift and the bakery kept missing Sunday-morning orders for its supermarket customers.

The Challenge

The bakery needed an automatic pancake forming machine that could produce 6,000 round, evenly-pressed flatbreads per shift with consistent thickness and diameter. The machine had to fit the existing 25 m production hall, integrate with the Bongard oven behind it, and survive 16 hours of daily operation.

The Solution

We supplied an AMCO-style automatic pancake forming machine with a 3 kW servo motor, heated platen, and inline conveyor drop onto the existing oven. The PLC is now programmed with 6 recipes for tortillas, pita, naan, and Asian-style pancakes.
