Taftoon-bread-Ovens
Tandoori bread or taftoon, a traditional flatbread, is renowned for its soft texture and delightful taste. Typically circular and thin, measuring around 40-50 centimeters in diameter and 3-5 millimeters in thickness, it occupies a middle ground in terms of thickness between lavash and sangak bread. To ensure even cooking, small holes are traditionally poked into the dough using fingers or a special tool, allowing heat to penetrate uniformly.
Due to regional variations and cultural differences, tandoori bread comes in various shapes and sizes, such as Iraqi tandoori, Shah Abbasi tandoori, thin tandoori, and round tandoori.
Baking tandoori bread requires a specialized oven and equipment. The oven is a critical factor in producing high-quality tandoori bread, and modern ovens offer a superior alternative to traditional methods. The choice of oven can significantly impact the taste, flavor, and overall quality of the bread, as well as operational costs. When selecting a tandoori oven, factors such as desired bread type, production volume, cooking method, heating system, and other specifications should be considered.
Classification of Tandoori or taftoon Bread-Making Machines Based on Functionality
Types of Taftoon bakery machines based on how they work
Fully Automated Tandoori Bread-Making Machines
For fully automated tandoori bread production, a tunnel oven and an automatic dough sheeter are employed. After dough preparation, the dough is fed into the sheeter, where it is automatically rolled out and then conveyed to a forming station.
The automatic sheeter is equipped with circular molds of various sizes, allowing the dough to be precisely cut into different diameters. The formed dough is then transferred to the tunnel oven for baking. Excess dough is returned to the sheeter for recycling.
Tunnel ovens offer high-speed, continuous baking capabilities, significantly improving production efficiency. These ovens utilize advanced automation and mechanical processes to ensure consistent and high-quality output.
In a fully automated tandoori bakery, the dough sheeting, forming, and transfer to the baking deck are all automated, reducing the need for manual labor.
Semi-Automatic Tandoori Bread-Making Machines
Semi-automatic tandoori bread production involves a combination of manual and automated processes. A baker is required to shape the dough and place it on the baking deck. Suitable ovens for this method include tunnel ovens and rotary ovens with various heating systems.
An automatic dough sheeter can be used in conjunction with a rotary oven to increase speed and accuracy in the dough forming process. In this case, the baker's role is limited to placing the pre-formed dough on the baking deck.
Tandoori Oven Classification Based on Heating System
Indirect Heat Tandoori Ovens
These ovens offer highly efficient fuel consumption due to their indirect heating system, ensuring a hygienic baking environment. Mashhad Baking Industries designs and manufactures two types of indirect-fired tandoori ovens in various sizes.
Direct-Fired Tandoori Ovens
In direct-fired tandoori bakeries, the flame and heat come into direct contact with the product within the baking chamber. Heat is transferred to the product through direct radiation and convection. Mashhad Baking Industries produces a type of direct-fired tandoori oven known as a fixed rotary tandoori oven, available in various sizes.
