Using a chapati dough maker eliminates the need to knead dough by hand, which can be very tempting. There are three types of dough makers: manual, electric, and planetary mixers.
Manual:
Manual chapati dough makers are simple machines made of heavy metal or cast aluminum. The manual dough maker is often referred to as the "Puri Press." It has two circular platters attached to a sturdy lever. Users put the dough ball between the two platters and push down with the lever to flatten it into a thin oval or round shape. Users can control the thickness of the chapati by adjusting the pressure applied with the lever. This machine is small and easily portable. To use this effectively, one needs to learn the right technique and practice repeatedly. Unlike the electric model, the manual requires effort to operate.
Electric:
The electric chapati dough maker is a convenient and efficient way to prepare the dough required for making chapatis. This device takes the place of the customary rolling pin, known as the belan, and the flat frying pan, called the tawa, used for cooking the bread. This machine eliminates the need for oil, water, and other conditioning agents that must be massaged into the flour in order to productively create the product and instead offers a uniform dough that can be fashioned into any shape or size required merely by pushing a button. It flattens the dough into round, uniform patties that can be cooked directly on the stovetop. It has also been referred to as "roti-making machines," "Chapati-making machines," and "Dough-flattening machines." It is an electric appliance that makes chapati dough in bulk and produces up to 60-100 roti per hour. To operate the machine, dough with a consistency similar to that of pizza dough should be placed into the hopper, and a button pushed so that the dough is released in a circular form that is not more than 1/4" thick. Once sufficient amounts of circular dough have been produced, they can be cooked directly on the stovetop. When in use, the machine should be located at least 12" away from any other object, including walls and people, so that the chapati can be easily and safely extracted from the device.
Planetary mixer:
In commercial kitchens, chapati dough planetary mixers are popular. They have a large bowl to mix a significant amount of dough and an arm that kneads the dough. Buyers can get industrial-scale dough kneaders with a 20-liter to 80-liter capacity. The machines mix the dough well but do not flatten it into uniform pieces.
The main difference between electric and manual operation is that electric dough makers consume electricity to operate while the manual uses physical strength.
Capacity
The capacity of the chapati dough maker machine varies depending on the specific model. Industrial-sized dough makers can knead up to 150kg of dough. They generally have removable bowls. The smaller ones have a set bowl.
Power
The power of a chapati dough maker ranges between 0.75 and 2.2kw. Larger machines have more power and can knead dough more quickly. Power is integral to the kneading speed and consistency of the dough.
Dimensions
Machines with removable bowls generally have the following dimensions: 80 x 70 x 130cm. They tend to weigh around 75kg. Smaller machines that don't have removable bowls are more portable. They tend to be around 85 x 55 x 55cm in dimension and weigh around 35kg.
Material
Stainless steel is the most common material for both kneading bowls and bodies. Plastic is common in the handles and touch screen. Stainless steel is long-lasting and easy to clean.
Operating System
Many dough makers come with a digital touchscreen that allows the operator to select various types of dough, flour, water, and other ingredients ratios, kneading speeds, and times. The flour-dust-proof container has a flour feeding hole, making it easy to operate. The machine also has an exit hole for the processed dough. The moisture in the dough comes from the water added and the water vapor inside the flour. The exit hole is sometimes called the water exit hole. Containers are generally removable and cleanable.
The chapati dough maker requires very little maintenance, as many parts are stainless steel and removable for cleaning. The main component, the kneading bowl, is polished and cleaned each time flour is kneaded.
Some key maintenance requirements include:
Restaurants and eateries
Dough consistency and uniformity are crucial to the quality of chapattis in restaurants. Using a chapatti dough maker saves time and control over the dough's thickness, yielding better chapattis. This machine allows chapatti-making restaurants to expand their offerings and provide consistent, high-quality chapattis to their customers.
Bakeries
In addition to bread and pastries, bakeries can diversify their product offerings by incorporating chapattis into their menu. A chapatti dough maker enables bakeries to produce large batches of chapatti dough efficiently, ensuring consistent quality and taste.
Catering services
Whether for weddings, corporate events, or private parties, chapattis are a popular staple in catering menus. A chapatti dough maker allows catering services to prepare and supply large quantities of chapatties to meet the demands of their clients, ensuring timely service and delicious food.
Food trucks and stalls
As street food continues to gain popularity, food trucks and stalls can benefit from a chapatti dough maker to streamline their operations. This machine enables them to produce chapattis efficiently, providing an essential and tasty component to their menu.
Supermarkets and deli counters
Supermarkets offering freshly made deli products can use a chapatti dough maker to prepare chapattis on-site. This adds value to their food offerings, attracts customers, and enhances the overall shopping experience.
Educational institutions
Schools, colleges, and universities often provide dining services for students and staff. A chapatti dough maker can help these institutions meet the growing demand for diverse, nutritious, and affordable food options, including chapattis.
Wholesale buyers can start their buying search for the right dough maker by checking out commercial chapati makers. While some are looking for the right product for home use, commercial and bigger-sized machines will serve a retail purpose. Consider getting wider ones where more than 20 to 30 servings can be prepared at once.
All buyers should look for machines that have simple operating procedures. Employers should not take long to train staff on how to make the dough. Moreover, the machine makes it easy for people to make different types of doughs without changing the flour mixtures. One-touch buttons or switches will help make this a simple process.
With increasing electricity prices, looking for a machine that can help reduce the consumption of electricity will benefit buyers. The energy usage of the machine and the power rating are essential in determining this. A more efficient machine will help save on costs and ensure efficient operations. Furthermore, an automatic machine will help speed up production capacity to meet demands without using much staff.
Products that can cater to all types of food production and local requirements are essential. While some customers will need dough made for chapatis, others will want other types of bread. Looking for a machine with changeable settings and mixes will allow customers to adapt it to their needs.
Large storage capacity is essential to ensure customers can make large batches of dough without continuous refilling. On average, a big dough maker can hold anywhere from 10 to 50 pounds of flour. Extra-large storage capacities work economically in commercial settings. Moreover, customers can mass-produce products efficiently.
