Fully automatic chapati making machine with PLC control
The Automatic Chapati Making Machine is a fully automated solution designed to produce large volumes of soft, uniform chapatis with minimal human intervention. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of automatic chapati making machines in Delhi, India, we engineer these systems for canteens, military establishments, large-scale caterers, and food production facilities that demand consistent output hour after hour. Unlike semi-automatic alternatives, this machine handles the entire process from dough pressing through puffing and packaging-ready output, drastically reducing labor requirements while increasing throughput.
What sets this machine apart is its PLC-based control system. Operators load the prepared dough into the hopper, and the machine takes over—dividing, rounding, pressing, and puffing each chapati in a continuous cycle. The touch-screen interface lets supervisors adjust chapati diameter, thickness, and cooking temperature without any mechanical changes. This level of automation means a single operator can oversee production of up to 1,000 to 3,000 chapatis per hour, depending on the model and configuration selected.
Key Features of the Automatic Chapati Making Machine
The machine is built on a heavy-duty mild steel frame with food-grade SS304 contact parts, ensuring compliance with FSSAI hygiene standards. The pressing rollers are precision-machined to deliver uniform thickness across every chapati, eliminating the thin spots and thick edges that plague manual production. An integrated puffing conveyor uses controlled gas or electric heat to puff each chapati evenly, giving that characteristic balloon shape and soft texture.
The dough feeding system uses a calibrated hopper with an adjustable gate, so you can regulate dough flow without stopping production. A motorized cutting mechanism divides the dough into equal portions, and the pre-rounding station shapes each portion into a smooth ball before pressing. This multi-stage process mimics the hand technique of experienced chapati makers but at a pace no team of workers can sustain.
How It Works
Start by preparing your wheat flour dough according to your standard recipe. Load the dough into the machine's hopper. The machine extrudes and cuts the dough into uniform portions. Each portion travels through the pre-rounding station, then moves to the pressing plates where it is flattened to the programmed thickness. The pressed disc then enters the puffing chamber, where radiant heat and timed airflow cause it to puff fully. The finished chapati exits onto a cooling conveyor, ready for packing or immediate service.
Technical Specifications
Capacity ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 chapatis per hour depending on the model. Chapati diameter is adjustable from 4 inches to 8 inches. Power supply options include 220V single-phase or 415V three-phase, with gas-heated puffing variants available. The machine measures approximately 6 feet by 3 feet by 4 feet and weighs around 350 to 500 kg. Total connected load varies between 3 kW and 8 kW for electric models. Gas consumption for heated versions runs roughly 2 to 4 kg per hour.
Applications and Industries
This machine serves institutional kitchens, railway catering, airline food production, army mess halls, university canteens, and large restaurant chains. It is also ideal for packaged chapati manufacturers supplying retail outlets and online grocery platforms. Any operation producing more than 500 chapatis per shift benefits substantially from full automation.
Benefits
Automation eliminates the variability of manual chapati making. Every chapati comes out the same size, same thickness, same puff. This consistency improves customer satisfaction and simplifies portion control for institutional meal planning. Labor costs drop significantly since one operator replaces a team of eight to twelve skilled chapati makers. The machine runs continuously with only brief cleaning intervals, maximizing output during peak demand periods.
Maintenance and Care
Clean the dough contact surfaces at the end of each production run using warm water and food-safe sanitizer. Inspect the pressing rollers weekly for wear and adjust alignment if chapatis begin showing uneven thickness. Lubricate all moving parts monthly with food-grade lubricant. The PLC controller should be serviced every six months by a qualified technician. We recommend keeping spare belts and cutting blades on hand to avoid unplanned downtime.
