How Many Rotis Can You Really Make in an Hour? We Put the Machine to the Test!
In India, roti is not only a meal—it’s a daily habit. From homes to hostels, from dhabas to defense kitchens, preparing rotis is a time-consuming process that demands speed, accuracy, and consistency.
But with the increasing cost of labor and efficiency being the need in commercial kitchens, the need for automation has increased. That’s where roti-making machines come in—and so do we.
At JDI (Jeevan Dairy Industry), a top roti making machine manufacturer, we hear the same query from chefs, caterers, and cloud kitchen owners:
“How many rotis can your machine churn out in an hour?”
So, we chose to answer this not only with specs, but with a live test.
Putting Our Roti Making Machine to the Test
We chose one of our top sellers from the JDI series—a semi-automatic roti making machine that frequently finds application in mid-sized restaurants and institutional food preparation areas.
This is how we conducted the test:
- Standard wheat flour dough (2:1 proportion of flour and water)
- Single trained operator to load and unload the rotis
- Regulated temperature and power conditions
- No stoppages, just non-stop running
Result?
The machine was able to churn out a staggering 850 perfectly baked rotis in only one hour.
So, What Does This Mean for Your Kitchen?
From serving 100 school children to feeding 500 wedding reception guests, our roti making machines can rise to the challenge without the mayhem of doing it by hand.
At 850 rotis/hour, that works out to:
- 14 rotis per minute
- 1 roti every 4–5 seconds
Now think about doing it for 5 hours continuously—that’s more than 4,000 rotis being made with consistency, hygiene, and less manpower.
Built for Performance: What Makes JDI Stand Out?
With years of experience in manufacturing roti making machines, JDI concentrates on not only speed—but lasting performance. Our machines are:
- Engineered with precision rollers for consistent size & thickness
- Equipped with automatic heating plates for consistent cooking
- Designed with food-grade stainless steel
- Constructed to operate non-stop for hours with limited downtime
And yes, they are simple to clean and keep up, just right for busy kitchens with high-velocity routines.
Real Use Cases: Where Speed = Success
Our machines are implemented in all parts of India in:
- Corporate cafeterias (serving thousands a day)
- Temples & Langars (where mass-feeding is a must)
- Hospitals (where hygiene and punctuality are of the essence)
- Catering companies (for bulk food functions)
- Hostels and boarding schools (for breakfast-to-dinner service)
In every one of these environments, the large capacity of a JDI machine has streamlined operations, made them quicker, and reduced costs.
Frequently Asked Questions by Kitchen Owners
Does performance differ with dough quality?
Yes! More gently kneaded and more tender dough will yield smoother flow. Drier dough can make the machine run a bit slower or need adjustments in thickness settings.
Can your machines travel even faster?
Yes, certainly. Our fully automatic models can produce 1,000–1,200 rotis per hour, depending on the configuration.
What about power usage?
Our equipment is power-efficient, operating on single-phase or three-phase power based on model size.
The Bottom Line
