Paratha

ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery

When producing a specific sized Paratha, how to prevent the dough from shrinking?

ANKO's PP-2 standard version can produce products with a diameter of 200mm that is the maximum size, but the client required to increase to 240mm in diameter. We not only increased the size of pressing plates and the whole machine body, but also strengthened the pneumatic system and other components. During test, products seriously shrank after pressing, even though they were pressed twice. Thus, ANKO's engineer...(Please contact us to get more information)

Paratha are wrapped in film and then stacked and transferred onto a conveyor or removed manually for hand packaging. The amount of Paratha in a stacked pile can be adjusted by a control panel.



Food Equipment Introduction

  • Place dough in the fixed position.
  • Upper and lower film wraps dough.
  • Film conveyor regularly moves forward a set distance.
  • First pressing process.
  • Second pressing process.
  • Cut off film.
  • Stack final products in a pile as the setup number and deliver to packaging conveyor.

Every manufacturer has own paratha recipe so that the stress in dough may be slightly different. If we make paratha by hand, the stress will be reduced through the repetition of rolling or flapping the dough. However, the stress will not reduce if the machine presses dough in one-way direction, which causes dough shrinkage. In order to maintain the same size, ANKO team designed two rows of pressing devices. The first row presses dough into the required size. The continuous press is to prevent dough shrinking. Although to extend pressing time or to strengthen pressing power is available, the former will decrease manufacturing capacity and the later will shorten the life of components such as air cylinder. The idea of twice pressing processes is to avoid these potential problems happening.

Pneumatic system or motor system

For clients' convenience, ANKO apply pneumatic system to drive the pressing device, instead of motor-driven system. The reasons are that, first, pneumatic components are easy to acquire; second, pneumatic system can reduce the risk of contaminating food by oil and gas. And the rest reasons include space-saving and cost-saving. Furthermore, pneumatic system requires less power, compare to motor-driven system.

Tension adjustor for the smoothness of film

The film conveying device equips two sets of film pusher. Film pusher A clips and conveys film to film pusher B. Then, film pusher A loosens and returns to its original position while film pusher B clips. The action repeats to push film. However, because the film roll becomes lighter, the film will be pulled too much if the machine acts as usual. ANKO's engineer designed a device to increase the film roll's resistance against the inertia. The measure prevents wrapping film wrinkling up.

Food Culture

Paratha is a kind of unleavened bread with ghee or butter added as kneading dough. Either deep-frying or baking is great for cooking paratha. In South Asia, it is commonly served for breakfast or snacks. The combination of paratha and various stuffings, including potato, leaf vegetables, paneer, corn, onion, or tomato, brings many gustatory experiences. Some people prefer plain paratha with egg, keema masala (minced meat), jeera aloo(fried potato) or with sugar, raita(yogurt) as sweet dishes that the light tastes are suitable for enjoying during Indian summer.
