The Structure of Tortilla Production Line Explained

Manufacture of tortillas is an interesting and important activity to most people. At Juheng, we understand how tortillas is manufactured and what it takes to make them on large scale. A line of production of tortillas includes a series of machines and activities working together and as a whole, the production flow of the tortillas will start from mixing, pound, pressing, fry, and packaging. Each activity in the line is crucial in maintaining the quality of the tortillas to reach the market needs. 


How to Make Your Tortilla Production Line More Efficient? 

To make those tortillas of good quality, the production line has to flow smoothly. The machine has to be set up properly; know how they operate. They all should function harmonious; for example, the mixer should not slow the whole process. It is essential to maintain and clean the machine to keep them working properly. Training the workers to operate the machines is necessary. Knowing how to repair the machines will save time. And arrange the space well. Items should be easy to reach. Workers spend time to find equipment, tools or ingredients. Thus, design walkways for easy walking. Allow people to go without any obstacle. Trip or block off the pathway may lead to accident. Furthermore, the technology could be helpfull. Computers are some of uses up to monitor the number of tortillas per hour. This shows up if outputs decrease during certain periods. If you notice them, you can take a corrective action. Possible to employ more people during peak times. 


Where to Get Good Wholesale Tortilla Equipment? 

Choosing the right equipment is extremely important for good-quality tortillas. Since Juheng knows about inconsistencies in the quality of equipment, it's best to buy from wholesale suppliers who sell quality goods at reasonable costs. Do searches on the Internet for equipment wholesalers. Websites of most manufacturers should be available. Also read reviews by other business owners. 

Trade shows are a bonus. They bring your suppliers all together. You can inspect the machines, ask questions, and snipe at the price. Being able to talk to the manufacturer is a big help. You can clarify things and ask about warrantees and after-support. 

Get help from your network too. Network with other tortilla businesses or directly related businesses. They will share their experiences and provide recommendation for reliable suppliers. Sometimes your network will also give discounts. 

Remember customer service. When you buy you want to have someone there if things go wrong. Find out if they train their people and offer technical support. This will in the long run save you time and money. 

Finally consider budget. If you can be seduced by cheap equipment, do so, but remember the importance of quality. Buying good machinery will give greater longevity and value. If you stick to these principles, then you won't go far wrong in choosing the best gear for keeping your line running smoothly. 


On larger tortilla factories you can observe the all parts of the linea dedit control here.  

This is called the Tortilla Production Line. So, first you observe all ingredient. Flour and water must be mixed properly; too dry you get sticky tortillas that are clingy and too wet you get tortillas sticking to the hot surface or worsely not getting cooked properly. Then you observe the shaping machines. They should be clean and doing proper work; also if a broken shaping machine a whole lot of tortillas can get washed out. Then you observethe cooking process. Tortillas need to be cooked properly; undercooked tortillas do not have proper texture and appearance while overcooked tortillas get burnt. Then you should observe the packaging procedure; if the tortillas not packed properly, they get stale or torn easily. Customers want fresh tortillas. At Juheng, we believe close observation of all parts of the production can provide the best tortillas. And keep in mind one faulty part can ruin the entire line. 


Choosing the best tortilla making machine for your business is important. 

There are many options available, so consider your needs carefully. Firstly, consider production quantity. For high production, invest in a larger machine, for small needs, a modest size one will do. Next, considers type of tortillas (soft or crisp? Machines cater for both) and available space. Also think of budget; we at Juheng offer suitable products. Lastly, company support. Ensure you select a machine company that offers 24 hour support in event of problems. If you take these factors into account, you will find a suitable machine with minimum hassle. 


Occasionally making tortillas can experience some very common problem. Recognizing and fixing a few common problems can keep the line running smoothly. For example, sometimes the tortillas are no consistent sizes. This can happen if the machine is not set properly. Adjust it to the desired size. Sometimes the tortillas stick to the equipment. Clean it properly. Clean equipment is essential. Other times, the tortillas burn while others are undercooked. This can be because the temperature is incorrect. Check and set the proper temperature. In Juheng, we record problem log to identify the pilot trend and quickly solving problem. If a problem cannot be resolved call for help. It can save you time and money.
