Selecting the Right Dough Wrapper Machine: A Comprehensive Guide

Are you looking to invest in a unit dough wrapper machine for your business but unsure of where to start? Choosing the right machine is crucial to ensure efficiency and quality in your production process. In this blog, we will provide you with some tips and factors to consider when selecting the perfect unit dough wrapper machine for your needs. From capacity and size to features and maintenance, we will help you make an informed decision that will benefit your business in the long run.

We recently sent an empanada wrapper machine to the United States. The customer is making 16.5cm diameter and used to make empanada wrapper. In addition to the production of bun wrappers and dumpling wrappers, this machine can also produce common tortilla, roti, chapati, and Saudi Arabic bread. In addition to Pita Arabic Bread Machine Wrapper Machine, VERFOODSOLUTIONS also provides small tabletop dumpling momo wrapper machine, so how to choose the right equipment to meet your dough production needs? Let’s follow 8 suggestions.

1.Output Per Hour 

a. Dumpling Wrapper Machine:

– Output: 3,600 pieces per hour

b. Pita Bread Making Machine:

– Single row mold output: 1,500 pieces per hour

– Five rows layout output: 7,500 pieces per hour

– Maximum output with customized options: Up to 10,000 pieces per hour by changing the mold and output speed

If a larger output is required beyond the standard capabilities mentioned above, frequency conversion speed adjustment can be added to increase the production capacity of the machines.

Overall, these production capabilities allow for efficient and flexible manufacturing of dumpling wrappers to meet varying customer demands and production requirements.

2.Diameter Of Dough

a. For dumpling wrapper with a diameter generally between 8-10cm, the dumpling wrapper machine can effectively produce these sizes within its maximum diameter capacity of 28cm.

b. For Pita Bread Making Machine with a diameter generally between 10-17cm, the dumpling wrapper machine can also handle these sizes within its diameter capacity.

c. If the diameter exceeds 28cm, for example, for PITA TORTILLA which is mostly between 28-35cm in diameter, then it would be necessary to choose a  Pita Bread Making Machine that can accommodate larger sizes beyond the capacity of the dumpling wrapper machine.

Therefore, depending on the specific size requirements of the dumpling wrapper or dough disc being produced, as well as considering whether the diameter exceeds 28cm, the appropriate machine (dumpling wrapper machine or pita bread making machine) should be selected to ensure efficient and accurate production of the desired product.

3. Multiple Sizes &Shapes

a. If you want to make multiple diameters together with a relatively low output, such as 3600 pieces per hour, and the diameters are within 4cm of each other, the dumpling wrapper machine can be a suitable option. For example, if you need to produce pita bread  with diameters of 12cm and 16cm, or 8cm and 12cm, the dumpling wrapper machine can handle these sizes effectively. However, if the diameter difference is greater than 4cm, the dumpling wrapper machine may not be suitable, and you would need to consider using a pita bread making machine with mold replacements to accommodate larger differences in diameter.

b. If you require a variety of shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, donuts, ovals, diamonds, etc. It is recommended to choose a pita bread making machine. A pita bread making machine offers a wide range of applications and can be highly versatile in producing different shapes efficiently. While the dumpling wrapper machine is designed specifically for producing round wrappers, it may not be suitable for creating a variety of shapes. It is important to consider the versatility and tolerance of the machine based on the shapes and sizes required for your production needs.

4.Wrapper Thickness Requirements

a. If you require a consistent thickness for the dough wrapper, such as 1mm, and the output needs are not extensive, a dumpling wrapper machine can be suitable as long as the diameter is within 28cm. These machines are designed to produce consistent thickness and can even make it as thin as 0.8mm. The general thickness for dumpling wrappers is around 1mm, making it suitable for such production requirements.

b. If you need to adjust the thickness of the dough for your specific requirements, it is advisable to choose a pita bread making machine. These machines typically offer a wider range of adjustability for dough thickness, ranging from 1mm to 15mm, allowing you to customize the thickness according to your needs.

c. If you need to imitate hand-made dough with variations in thickness, such as medium-thick and thin edges, or if you have consistent requirements for thickness, a dumpling wrapper machine can be a suitable choice. These machines are designed to replicate the traditional method of making dumpling wrappers. But the pita bread making machine can produce consistent thickness as per your specifications.

5.Types Of Products Made

Generally speaking, dumpling wrapper machines are basically only designed for two or three types of products, such as dumpling wrappers and momo bun wrapper .

The versatility of the pita bread making machine seems to be a significant advantage, especially if your production needs include a wide variety of dough-based products. By choosing a pita bread making machine that can handle multiple types of products, you can diversify your offerings and cater to a broader market without the need for multiple specialized machines. Here are some of the products that a versatile dough machine can produce, expanding on the variety you’ve mentioned:Pita Bread, Roti, Kulcha, Chapati,  Pizza Base, Tortilla, Arabic Bread, Steamed Bun Wrappers, Naan, Burritos, Spring roll wrappers, Focaccia.

When considering a dough machine, it’s essential to verify with the manufacturer or supplier, such as VERFOODSOLUTIONS, about the specific capabilities of the machine, including its versatility in producing different types of dough products. Additionally, ensure that the machine can switch between these various products efficiently and without compromising the quality or texture of the final product. This capability will allow you to maximize the utility of your equipment and potentially expand your product offerings without significant additional investment.

6.Occupation Area

When purchasing the dumpling wrapper machine and pita bread making machine, it is important to consider the space available for installation:

a. Dumpling wrapper machine: This machine is typically a desktop style, compact in size, and lightweight. It weighs around 60kg and has dimensions of L*W*H(500mm*400mm*600mm) /Cube is 0.12m³. Due to its smaller size and portability, it is suitable for small hotels, small restaurants, and establishments with limited space. It can be easily moved around and placed anywhere as needed.

b. Pita bread making wrapper machine:  the pita bread making machine is more industrial in style and typically covers a larger area. It requires a certain amount of space for placement, with dimensions given as L*W*H(1700mm*600mm*1150mm)-(1850mm*0.98mm*1350mm)/Cube is 1.173m³-2.44755m³. Due to its larger size and industrial nature, this machine is more suitable for commercial kitchens and larger establishments with ample space for installation.

Before making a purchase decision, it is essential to measure the available space in your kitchen or establishment to ensure that the chosen machine can fit and operate efficiently without hindrance.

8. Cost Budget

It’s helpful to understand the specific characteristics and target audiences for each type of equipment.

The dumpling wrapper machine, with its smaller output and lower price point, caters to individuals and small operators who are new to investing in wrapper making machines. This machine is a practical choice for those who may be starting out in the food production industry or looking to expand their product offerings with dumplings. The affordability and manageable output make it an accessible option for those just entering the market.

On the other hand, the pita bread making machine, with its larger output and relatively higher price (depending on the model), is better suited for established pasta processing and production enterprises with high production volumes. These businesses require equipment that can handle significant quantities of dough efficiently and effectively. The higher price point reflects the robust features and capabilities of the machine, making it a valuable investment for companies with larger-scale operations.
