Satellite Dough Sheeting Head

The Satellite Dough Sheeting Head is a low-stress sheeting module that uses multiple small satellite rollers around a large main cylinder to reduce a continuous dough sheet progressively. Farhat configures the machine around the product, so dough condition, geometry, upstream flow and the next process are defined before the final model is released.

Crafted Baked Goods With Satellite Dough Sheeting Head

The machine’s role is specific: it is a low-stress sheeting module that uses multiple small satellite rollers around a large main cylinder to reduce a continuous dough sheet progressively. Its value comes from making one critical operation repeatable while protecting the product for the next stage. Farhat engineers the product-contact path, drive arrangement, sensing, settings and transfer geometry as one system.

How It Works

  1. An upstream loop supplies the sheet without uncontrolled tension.
  2. Sixteen small stainless-steel satellite rollers progressively press dough against the main cylinders.
  3. The adjustable head establishes the selected exit thickness.
  4. A downstream loop sensor coordinates speed with the next sheeting stage.

Engineering Features

  • Sixteen satellite rollers: Distributed contact divides reduction across many smaller steps.
  • Large main cylinders: The reference unit uses 180 mm cylinders across a 1,200 mm working width.
  • Wide thickness window: The documented mechanical range is 1-25 mm for the reference model.
  • Loop sensing: The line balances sheet supply and demand without relying on tensile pull.
  • Jackscrew calibration: Mechanical adjustment supports repeatable recipe settings.

Products and Applications

The satellite dough sheeting head can be considered for pizza and flatbread sheets, lavash and crackers, breadsticks, and continuous dough products requiring controlled reduction. Compatibility is confirmed with the intended dough or finished product.

Integration In An Automatic Bakery Line

The satellite head is one reduction stage within a complete loop-controlled line; final sheet quality depends on the extruder, lamination head and conveyor speed balance. The controls scope should define permissives, blocked-product detection, upstream stop logic, downstream-ready signals, emergency-stop zones and restart behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions About Satellite Dough Sheeting Head

It is a low-stress sheeting module that uses multiple small satellite rollers around a large main cylinder to reduce a continuous dough sheet progressively. Farhat supplies it as a configured machine or as an integrated module within a bakery production line.

Typical applications include pizza and flatbread sheets, lavash and crackers, breadsticks, and continuous dough products requiring controlled reduction. Final compatibility depends on the recipe, product state, dimensions and required handling, so representative trials or samples are recommended.

Capacity is calculated from the approved product pitch, rows, mechanical cycle, belt speed and surrounding equipment. The quotation should distinguish a reference maximum from the expected net production rate for the customer’s SKU.

Yes, when a site survey or verified drawings establish the infeed and discharge elevations, available footprint, product flow, utilities and controls interface. Retrofit scope may include new transition conveyors, guarding and software interlocks.

Farhat needs product samples or photographs, recipe and dough conditions where relevant, dimensions and tolerances, required output, row layout, utilities, sanitation method, plant drawing and the upstream/downstream machine details.
