Industry Overview & Commercial Opportunity
Commercial kitchens in hotels, corporate IT canteens, university hostels, religious langars, and industrial mess facilities face acute shortages of skilled roti-making labor and escalating kitchen payroll costs. Installing a fully automatic compact chapati making machine from Bangasree Machinery transforms mass feeding operations into a hygienic, highly efficient automated process.
Institutions serving over 300 meals daily recover the total machinery cost within 4 to 6 months through labor savings, uniform portion control, and reduced gas consumption.

|---|---|
| Commercial Catering Roti Contract Supply | 3,000 Rotis / Day |
| Production Cost per Roti (Flour, Gas, Electricity, Labor) | ₹1.85 / Roti |
| Institutional Contract Price | ₹3.50 - ₹4.50 / Roti |
| Indicative Daily Operating Surplus on Roti Supply | ₹5,550 / Day |
| Indicative Monthly Operating Surplus | ₹1,44,300 |
Step-by-Step Factory Setup & Manufacturing Process
- Dough Preparation: Knead soft dough with 40% water content in spiral dough mixer.
- Load Dough Hopper: Place dough balls or continuous block into the automatic feeding extruder.
- Automatic Peda Cutting & Pressing: Machine cuts uniform dough balls and presses them between heated non-stick plates.
- 3-Tier Conveyor Baking: Roti travels through enclosed three-stage baking conveyor with upper and lower heating.
- Automatic Puffing: Final high-heat flame zone puffs the roti completely before soft stack collection.
