01 / Equipment flow
Follow the dough through the line
The line prepares the dough, transfers it to the sheeter and feeds a dedicated former. The single-former reference trims a 360 mm sheet to 315 mm for two 150 mm circular wrappers across. The clips below show individual production stages.
Mix the dough
Meter flour and water into the vacuum mixer.
Mixer discharge · 10 sec Transfer the dough
Move it by hand or use an elevating conveyor.
Elevating conveyor · 7 sec Sheet and trim
Roll at 360 mm and trim to 315 mm before forming.
Dough sheeting · 9 sec Fill and pleat
Portion the filling, close the pleats and discharge the pieces.
Khinkali forming · 6.6 sec

02 / Factory layout
Manual transfer or elevating conveyor
Compare the space needed for one former using the same aisle allowances. Start with the option that fits your floor space and handling method.
Elevating conveyor
54.5 m²Approx. 11.72 × 4.65 m. Lifts dough to the sheeter inlet and reduces manual carrying.
About 12.2 m² less with manual transfer in this comparison.
Open full floor plans →03 / Capacity planning
Start with one former. Plan for up to three.
One 360 mm sheeting line can support up to three forming machines. Confirm how each machine receives its dough sheet and when the machines run together.
One former
Direct feed from the 315 mm inlet band in the reference layout.
Two formers
Agree sheet distribution, feed balance and the operating schedule.
Three formers
Check the interfaces, floor space and accepted combined output in the project trial.
04 / Product trial
Agree what the finished product should look like
Use your product sample and representative dough and filling to verify weight, pleats, closure, liquid retention and accepted output.
- Wrapper geometry and thickness
- Filling behaviour and pleat appearance
- Accepted pieces during the agreed continuous run
