Lavash baking ovens
Lavash, a traditional Iranian flatbread, has been a symbol of Iranian culture and civilization since ancient times. Known by various names such as lavash, levash, and labash, this thin, soft flatbread, typically 3 millimeters thick, is made from a mixture of flour, water, salt, and sourdough or a "less fermented" dough.

Today, one of the most significant factors differentiating bakeries is the type of baking equipment used. A professional lavash baking machine can not only impact the taste and quality of the produced bread but also significantly reduce bakery costs by minimizing labor and optimizing fuel consumption.
A lavash baking machine, a baking oven designed for producing high-quality lavash bread, is an excellent replacement for traditional ovens. Baking lavash requires a baking machine and a set of auxiliary equipment, the selection of which depends on cultural and geographical variations that create diversity in lavash bread, as well as the production volume, which influences the production methods. Lavash baking machines can be categorized based on various features, including operating method, dimensions, production capacity, heating system, and other characteristics.
1. Types of Lavash Baking Machines Based on Operation:
- Automatic Lavash Baking Machines: The process of spreading the dough and transferring it to the baking deck is done automatically without the need for manual labor.
- Semi-Automatic Lavash Baking Machines: The process of spreading the dough and transferring it to the baking deck is done manually by a baker.
2. Types of Lavash Baking Machines Based on Dimensions and Production Capacity:
- Small-Capacity Lavash Baking Machines: For lower production capacities, small rotary ovens are recommended.
- Large-Capacity Lavash Baking Machines: For high production capacities, large tunnel ovens are recommended.
3. Types of Lavash Baking Machines Based on Heating System:
- Indirect-Fired Lavash Baking Machines: This type of machine offers highly efficient fuel consumption and ensures a hygienic baking environment.
- Direct-Fired Lavash Baking Machines: In this type of machine, the flame and heat come into direct contact with the product within the baking chamber.
4. Types of Lavash Baking Machines in Mashhad Baking Industries:
- Tunnel Lavash Baking Machines: Tunnel ovens are considered one of the most modern baking ovens in the world. These machines can produce a large number of lavash breads at regular intervals and high speeds, significantly improving production efficiency in the baking industry. By using a lavash dough sheeter alongside a tunnel oven, it can be converted into a fully automatic lavash baking machine, allowing for hygienic and high-capacity production of lavash bread without manual intervention. This model is ideal for producing soft and dry packaged lavash bread.
- Rotary Lavash Baking Machines: Rotary ovens are advanced ovens suitable for semi-automatic or manual lavash baking. In this machine, a baker spreads and places the dough on the baking deck, but the option of using a dough sheeter is also available.
This classification helps users select the most suitable lavash baking machine for their specific needs.
