Let’s explore the key solutions offered by Andrew Mafu Machinery:
Bread lines are the backbone of industrial bakeries. Andrew Mafu’s bread solutions cover a wide spectrum — from dense artisan loaves to soft, high-moisture sandwich breads — and are designed for continuous, high-throughput production with consistent weight, crumb and crust.
Core equipment:
(1)Bowl hoists / conveyor dosing systems
(2)Divider & rounder (servo-controlled for precision)
(3)Moulders (horizontal or vertical for different loaf shapes)
Typical capacities
(1)Small/compact lines: 500–2,000 loaves/hour
(2)Medium industrial: 2,000–6,000 loaves/hour
(3)High-capacity: 6,000–20,000+ loaves/hour (modular scaling possible)
Customization options
(1)Variable loaf sizes and pan types
(2)Automatic loading/unloading for pans and trays
(3)Integrated slicer and bagger or tray packing
(4)Recipe memory for different hydration and fermentation profiles
Overview
Designed for breads with very high water content (e.g., Japanese milk bread, certain sandwich loaves). These require gentle handling to keep structure and avoid collapse.
Key differences
Low-shear mixing and longer slow knead cycles
Special dividing/rounding stations with anti-stick coatings
Humidity-controlled proofing and slower baking ramps
Why it matters?
Softness and shelf-life depend on keeping gas cells intact and ensuring proper gelatinization of starch — achieved by careful temperature/humidity control across the line.
Overview
Croissants need delicate lamination and precise layer control. Andrew Mafu croissant lines aim to reproduce artisan lamination at scale without damaging the butter layers.
Core equipment
Dough sheeter with temperature control
Butter layer feeder / butter block laminator
Multi-pass sheeting station (folding and resting conveyors)
Cutter & curlers (precise shaping)
Intermediate proofing cabinets (short, controlled proof)
Tunnel ovens with steam injection (for optimal rise and glossy crust)
Typical capacities
Small line: 1,000–3,000 pieces/hour
Medium: 3,000–10,000 pieces/hour
High: 10,000–30,000+ pieces/hour
Common issues & fixes
Butter leakage → cool lamination environment, quicker rest between folds.
Uneven layering → calibrated sheeter rollers and regular blade maintenance.
Overview
From dividing to rounding to stamping and topping with sesame, this line churns out thousands of identical, soft hamburger buns per hour—ideal for fast food suppliers and retail bakeries alike.
Core equipment
Divider & rounder with high-speed servo control
Bun stamping/flattening unit (for fixed diameter buns)
Topping applicator (egg wash, seeds)
Automatic depanners, slicers (optional)
Capacities
Typical: 2,000–15,000 buns/hour depending on automation level.
Overview
Pastry lines must manage multiple folds, fillings, and delicate final shapes. Andrew Mafu designs these lines to prevent lamination breaks and to handle a range of fillings.
Key machines
Heavy-duty sheeters and fold stations
Filling depositor with portion control
Laminating conveyors with resting stations
High-precision cutters and folder units
Intermediate freezing options for par-bake or chill workflows
Common design features
Gentle conveyor speeds to avoid tearing
Accurate portioning systems to prevent overfilling

Inside the High-Moisture Bread Line
Want to see how a full line works in practice? Let’s walk through a typical high-moisture bread line from Andrew Mafu.
1.Pour the mixed dough into the lifting dough tank and pour it into the hopper of dividing machine through the lifting machine.
2.Weight range of dough dividing(3 ports): 300-600g.
3.Capacity(3 ports): 3500 pcs/hour.
4.Moisture content of the dough: 60%-80%
1.Teflon coating makes the rounding process smoother
2.Baffle angle spacing can be adjusted to adapt to different product specifications
3.With powder spreading machine
4.Clockwise or counterclockwise direction is optional
5.lt can be used alone, or with the divider, the middle of the roofing and so on the machine to form a production line
1.With 218 mesh basket racks, each rack with 6 mesh baskets, a total of 1308 mesh baskets.
2.Mesh basket racks and mesh baskets are designed to be quick-disassembled, easy to clean the mechanism
3. With 3-port divider to divide the dough into 3,500 pcs/hour, and the relaxation can be up to 20 mins, according to the customer’s needs, the relaxation time can be increased
