Ciabatta forming line with proofing system

• LINE INTRODUCTION 

This ZLINE's production line is the best solution for making no-puff pastry bread. Especially ciabatta. As we all know, ciabatta is a type of Italian bread with extremely high moisture content. This kind of soft, sticky dough places higher demands on production equipment, requiring precise handling without damaging the internal structure.The ZLINE Ciabatta Forming Line is specially designed to process dough with up to 70% hydration. Featuring a low-pressure, stress-free stretching and cutting system, it maximizes the preservation of the dough’s air cell structure and natural irregular shape—making it ideal for large-scale production of ciabatta with an authentic, artisanal texture. The cutter machine with special design can enable the production line to process the dough of a moisture content of 72%. Two sets of steel plates pat the dough gently to give it a regular shape while avoiding to damage the dough structure.These results in a bread that is similar in shape and texture to that of a handmade one. 

• LINE DETAILS

You can see the layout of this production line from two perspectives.

The complete production line includes a dough divider, two-roller dough sheeter, multi-roller dough rolling machine, forming machine, cutting table, strip arranging machine, panning machine, and flour sprinkling machine,proofing system. Optional equipment such as tunnel oven, and packaging equipment can also be added according to customer needs.

• LINE FEATURES 

Thanks to our engineers’ smart layout and modular design, the production line is highly flexible and adaptable. By simply replacing specific components—such as the cutter or forming units—the line can be quickly adjusted to produce different types of bread.

This modular system allows seamless transitions between products like ciabatta, baguettes, bâtards, or other artisan-style breads, all while maintaining consistent quality and production efficiency. It minimizes downtime and maximizes versatility, making it ideal for bakeries that require multi-product capabilities within a single line.

ZLINE’s intelligent engineering ensures that every product changeover is smooth, efficient, and cost-effective—empowering bakeries to respond quickly to market demands without the need for entirely separate production setups.The equipment can adjust the thickness automatically, and produce other bread with changing the cutter.With the remote control system, it can observe the abnormal data and remote opyimozation of the equipment.
