MiniLine

The MiniLine by FARHAT is an efficient, compact automatic production line ideal for small-scale operations like supermarkets and restaurants. It’s capable of producing various bread types, including Arabic and pita, with a capacity of 300 to 1000 loaves per hour in less than 30 square meters, offering a high-efficiency solution for diverse bread production needs.

Flatbread Miniline

Crafted Baked Goods With MiniLine

A Farhat MiniLine is a compact automatic flatbread line configured for producers who need controlled industrial processing in a smaller footprint and output range. It is engineered as a connected process rather than a list of machines: dough condition, transfers, residence time, thermal profile, cooling and packaging all affect the sellable output.

The starting point is the finished product specification. Farhat uses the customer’s recipe, dimensions, tolerances, production schedule and plant constraints to select equipment and define the line balance. The result may be a fully automatic line or a phased system with planned operator tasks and future expansion points.

Process flow

  1. Receive and portion prepared dough.
  2. Rest and flatten portions with compact make-up equipment.
  3. Proof or bypass according to the selected bread.
  4. Bake on the matched compact oven.
  5. Cool and collect product for manual or automatic packaging.

Each handoff matters. A line can have sufficient nameplate capacity and still underperform if products arrive at the proofer unevenly, the oven is loaded inconsistently, cooling is too short or the packaging machine cannot accept the discharge pattern.

Products and format range

This solution can be configured for:

  • pita and Arabic bread
  • pizza and manakish
  • naan and regional flatbread
  • a defined multi-product range established during project trials

Product families should share compatible dough and handling behavior if they will run on the same mechanical configuration. Farhat identifies the approved SKU matrix during engineering and records the required recipe, tooling and changeover steps.

Critical quality controls

  • portion weight and row spacing
  • changeover settings between products
  • proofing time within the available path
  • oven loading and heat profile
  • cooling and manual-handling requirements

These checks turn a machinery project into a repeatable production process. Acceptance testing should define sample size, operating duration, raw-material condition, measurement method and acceptable limits for every critical product characteristic.

Automation and line control

The line control system coordinates speeds, permissives, accumulation and fault response. Operators should see the active recipe, machine status, blocked zones and relevant process settings from the HMI. A controlled restart sequence prevents an upstream surge from becoming a pileup farther down the line.

Data requirements vary by project, but useful records may include recipe ID, speed, proofing setpoints, oven zones, alarms and production counters. Any reporting or remote-service feature should be defined in the quotation, including network responsibility and customer access.

Reference project data

Final dimensions, capacity, utilities, materials and control scope are configured for the approved product and project. Farhat should issue a model-specific technical data sheet with every quotation.

Information Farhat needs to design the line

  • net output by SKU
  • available footprint and ceiling height
  • automation versus operator tasks
  • recipe count and changeover goals
  • planned future expansion

Provide a scaled plant drawing with columns, doors, ceiling heights, drains, ventilation, utility points and material-flow routes. The project should also define raw-material entry, finished-goods exit, personnel movement, cleaning access and maintenance pull space.

Frequently Asked Questions

The core process for this solution is to receive and portion prepared dough, rest and flatten portions with compact make-up equipment, proof or bypass according to the selected bread, bake on the matched compact oven, and cool and collect product for manual or automatic packaging. Scope remains project-specific, and the commercial offer must identify every machine, interface, inclusion and exclusion.

Potential products include pita and Arabic bread, pizza and manakish, naan and regional flatbread, and a defined multi-product range established during project trials. A shared line is practical only when the forming method, size range, proofing, bake and handling needs overlap enough for controlled changeover.

Farhat calculates capacity from product dimensions, rows, pitch, process residence time, oven loading and downstream limits. For this line, acceptance should also measure portion weight and row spacing, changeover settings between products, proofing time within the available path, oven loading and heat profile, and cooling and manual-handling requirements. Ask for both reference mechanical rate and expected net sellable output under the agreed conditions.

Yes, subject to a verified layout and utility study. Retrofit projects often require elevation changes, corner conveyors, building exhaust, new guarding and a controls interface with retained equipment.

Changeover can combine stored recipes, calibrated settings, guide adjustments and tooling changes. The approved SKU matrix for pita and Arabic bread, pizza and manakish, naan and regional flatbread, and a defined multi-product range established during project trials should state change parts, expected duration, cleaning requirement and first-piece quality checks.

The strongest projects include a product brief, samples, factory drawing and these line-specific inputs: net output by SKU, available footprint and ceiling height, automation versus operator tasks, recipe count and changeover goals, and planned future expansion. Trials may be recommended for unfamiliar doughs or formats.

No responsible line supplier should. Dough properties, product size, spacing, proofing, bake time and packaging all change capacity. The final contract should tie performance to a named product, documented conditions and agreed test method.
