Indian Customer's Increased Paratha Demand Was Fulfilled By Utilizing ANKO's Lachha Paratha Production Line
The client is a frozen food manufacturer, producing Indian food and selling to grocery stores and supermarkets. The growth of demand for paratha urges the client to seek automatic production line so as to reduce labor cost and increase productivity. The texture and taste of lachha paratha is layered and crispy that ANKO R&D team understands and keeps the characters in machine-made products. Our machine is capable of stretching dough to be pervious to light as well as producing products up to 2,000 pieces in one hour. The client satisfied those advantages of the machine so that they decided to cooperate with ANKO. (Note: LAP-2200 is no longer available. The updated model is LAP-5000.

ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery
Solution 1. How to prevent lachha paratha from peeling off in the production process.
"The less quantity of salt causes the low elasticity of lachha paratha dough", ANKO engineer found through a repetitive observation of their recipe and production process. To solve the problem, ......(Please contact us to get more information)
The Lachha Paratha thin pastry tears due to lack of gluten and elasticity
After adjusting the formula, the dough sheet stretched paper thin without any tearing
After the Lachha Paratha is cooked, the texture is fluffy and taste delicious
Solution 2. The difficulty of rolling up dough wrapper resulted in its accumulation.
In the process of machine test, ANKO engineers found that the dough character changed by local climate could not be formed well by the original machine design, as a result, dough was accumulated. The first step of the solution is to move the former rolling unit outwards. The width of the rolled part reduced from......(Please contact us to get more information)
Dough sheet was not able to roll properly due to its texture
After adjusting the formula, the thin dough sheet folds and rolls up smoothly
The dough sheets were perfectly wrapped and rolled for further processing

How to make multilayered lachha paratha by machine?
The percentage of water and oil is relatively high in dough for lachha paratha. Oil is the main ingredient that creates crispy and layered taste. LAP-2200 evenly drops oil on dough after the processes of stretching and after folding, respectively. The ingenuity of machine design makes dough full of oil. (Note: LAP-2200 is no longer available. The updated model is LAP-5000. Please feel free to contact us for more information.)
How does machine stretch dough to be thin, nearly pervious to light?
In order to keep gluten and stretchability of dough for lachha paratha, water and oil are usually added much more. Although pressing or sheeting is a way to make dough thinner, the gluten is weakened and not stretchy. LAP-2200 sheeting roller units press dough again and again until it becomes nearly 3mm thin dough belt. Then, the dough belt will be delivered to the stretching device, which clips dough by four belts. Dough will be slowly stretched along the track, becoming three times the width and around 1mm thick that is almost pervious to light. The stretching device is not as simple as people think. During the process of stretching, how to prevent dough being tore off or falling off is related to the way we assemble belts and rollers. (Note: LAP-2200 is no longer available.

LAP-2200 (Current Model: LAP-5000)
How to keep gluten, stretchability, and layers during the machine-made processes? When ANKO's team designed LAP-2200, we considered the complicated recipe in detail and paratha characters. For example, the Lachha Paratha and Green Scallion Pie Production Line is capable of evenly stretching dough into extremely thin, almost transparent. Then, as you see handmade food recipe, spreading oil is inevitable between some steps, so LAP-2200 equips with oil dropping device. Moreover, when producing paratha layers, the design of folding and rolling devices has to think of the oily and thin characters of paratha. ANKO manufactures fully automatic machine to simplify complicated making procedures, which not only saves time and labor cost, but also increases productivity. (Note: LAP-2200 is no longer available.

Lachha Paratha is quintessential food of Indian daily cuisine. The unleavened bread is served almost every meal in a day if you live in India. The cook adds oil in dough, and then rounds it, rolls out it, thins it, pleats it, swirls it, and presses it to form the final product. When Lachha Paratha is sizzling on a heated pan, no one can resist the delicious aroma.
