The Juheng Semi-Automatic Tortilla Forming Line is designed for tortilla producers who already operate dough mixing and portioning equipment or prefer to manage those steps manually. Starting from the hot press forming stage and proceeding through baking, cooling, and automatic counting and stacking, this line delivers the same industrial-grade reliability as our fully automatic systems — at a more accessible investment level.
Operators simply load pre-portioned and fermented dough balls onto the infeed; the line handles pressing, baking, cooling, and stacking automatically. This configuration is ideal for growing businesses, facilities with existing front-end equipment, and producers seeking a phased approach to full automation.
All food-contact surfaces are SUS304 stainless steel. The line is CE certified for global export, with flexible configuration options to match your product specifications and floor space.

The Juheng Semi-Automatic Tortilla Forming Line delivers consistent, high-quality tortilla production. This semi-auto solution picks up at the hot press forming stage and carries the product through precision baking, controlled cooling, and automated counting and stacking.
Designed for tortilla businesses that already operate dough mixing and balling equipment—or prefer to manage those steps manually—this configuration provides a clear pathway to scale production while controlling capital expenditure. Operators simply load pre-portioned dough balls onto the infeed.
Whether you're expanding an existing facility, launching a new product line with limited floor space, or seeking a phased automation approach, this forming line offers the flexibility and performance to meet your goals.

Semi-Automatic Tortilla Production Line — Process Flow
The semi-automatic line begins at the hot pressing stage and proceeds through baking, cooling, and automatic stacking. This configuration offers an excellent balance of automation and affordability, ideal for small to medium-sized tortilla producers or facilities with existing dough preparation equipment.
Manual Dough Loading
Operators place fermented dough balls onto the infeed conveyor
Hot Press Forming
Hydraulic pressing between heated platens for uniform thickness and perfect shape
Multi-layer Tunnel Oven
Three-level baking with independent zone controls for both sides baking and proper puffing
Cooling Conveyor
Multi-tier mesh belt conveyor equipped with fans bring product to handling temperature
Auto Counter & Stacker
Sensor-driven counting and pneumatic stacking into preset quantities
Lower Initial Investment: Start with pressing through stacking; add front-end modules later as volume grows.
Integrates with Existing Equipment: Use your current mixer and divider — no need to replace functional machinery.
Simple Operation: Just few operators can manage dough loading and packing with minimal training.
Proven Core Technology: Same industrial hot press, oven, and stacker as our fully automatic line.
Upgrade-Ready: Modular design allows future addition of mixer, divider, and proofer for full automation.
Flexible Starting Point — This line is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing dough preparation setup. Whether you operate a standalone mixer and divider or prefer manual dough balling, the semi-automatic forming line picks up exactly where you need it. It's a practical solution for businesses that want to automate pressing, baking, and stacking without replacing functional front-end equipment.
Scalable Investment Approach — Start with the core forming and baking modules now, and add full automation components later. The modular architecture supports future upgrades to a complete mixing-to-packaging system when production volumes justify the expansion. This phased approach keeps initial capital outlay manageable while preserving a clear growth path.
Simple Operator Interface — A centralized touchscreen provides real-time visibility into key metrics: press temperature, oven belt speed, stack count, and production rate. Controls are intuitive and require minimal training—operators can become proficient within a single shift. Maintenance alerts and error diagnostics appear directly on screen, reducing downtime.
Hygienic, Cleanable Construction — Like all Juheng equipment, this line features SUS304 stainless steel and other food-grade material on every food-contact surface. Welds are ground smooth. The open-frame design provides unobstructed access for cleaning crews.
Growing Tortilla Manufacturers
Ideal for producers who have outgrown manual or tabletop equipment but are not yet ready for full-scale automation. The semi-automatic line delivers the throughput and consistency needed to supply regional grocery chains, independent markets, and local foodservice distributors—all at an accessible price point.
Restaurant Commissaries & Central Kitchens
Supports multi-unit restaurant groups and commissary operations that supply tortillas to their own locations. The line produces uniform tortillas for tacos, burritos, and other menu items, ensuring every unit serves the same product. By automating pressing through stacking, commissaries can reallocate labor to other prep tasks while maintaining output.
Co-Packers & Private Label Producers
For contract manufacturers producing tortillas under multiple brand names, this line offers the flexibility to switch between product specifications with minimal changeover time. Adjustable thickness, diameter, and stack count settings allow quick transitions between different customer requirements without sacrificing throughput.
Export-Oriented Facilities
Engineered to comply with international equipment standards (CE certified), this forming line supports facilities targeting export markets. The stainless steel construction and sanitary design satisfy import requirements across North America, Europe, and Latin America. Custom voltage and gas configurations are available to match local utility specifications.
Capacity ranges from 3000-3600pcs/h to 7000-7500pcs/h, with tortilla size being the primary factor.
To create a tailored solution, please provide:
Target tortilla size (diameter, thickness, and weight).
Desired production capacity (hourly or daily output goals).
Factory layout (available space, access to power/water, and integration with existing equipment like mixers or packaging machines).
Dough type (flour, corn, gluten-free, etc.) and any specialized requirements (e.g., organic dough handling).
The production cycle is approximately 3 months, though this may vary based on customizations (e.g., adding a corn dough pre-processing module or a gluten-free cleaning system).
