High-Volume Mantou & Steamed Bun Processing Lines
Steamed bun production line, including flour mixing machine, dough kneading machine, dough spreader, bread making machine and food packaging machine
Scaling up plain steamed buns (Mantou) to industrial volumes often compromises the dough’s internal structure. High-pressure, continuous extruders frequently destroy the delicate gluten network, resulting in dense, chewy buns that lack the fluffy ‘spring-back’ of handmade products. Additionally, achieving exactly uniform weights across thousands of buns without stressing the dough is a major engineering hurdle.
Our Esper Foodtech Solutions
Low-Stress Dough Sheeting :
Unlike aggressive auger systems, our gentle rolling mechanism mimics handmade kneading, preserving the gluten matrix for an incredibly soft and fluffy texture.Precision Dividing & Rounding :
Servo-driven cutters ensure exact portion control (±1g) while the automated rounding belt perfectly seals the dough surface, preventing cracking during steaming.Hygienic Modular Design :
Constructed entirely of SUS304 stainless steel with toolless quick-release parts, enabling complete washdowns to meet stringent BRC and FDA food safety standards.

Global CoverageSteamed Bun Production Line
Flour Mixing Machine
Provides uniform hydration and rapid mixing, ensuring the yeast and flour are perfectly blended without overheating the dough.
Dough Kneader
Repeatedly folds and presses the dough to build a strong gluten network, expelling air pockets for a smooth, fine-crumb texture.
Dough Divider Rounder
Accurately cuts the continuous dough log into uniform pieces and shapes them into perfect spheres, ready for proofing and steaming.
Flow Packaging Machine
Delivers high-speed pillow-bag packaging for the steamed buns, with optional MAP (gas flushing) to extend shelf life.
FAQ

anything
How to solve the problem of cracking of steamed buns?
Use a three-stage proofing chamber (humidity 85%→75%→65%), and progressive dehydration to avoid cracking
Does the equipment cleaning meet food grade standards?
Full contact surface 304 stainless steel + quick-release module, CIP cleaning system supports 30 minutes of deep sterilization
How does the equipment prevent metal foreign matter from mixing in?
X-ray detection + magnetic adsorption double insurance, impurity detection rate 99.97%
Customer Reviews
“The fully automatic production line reduces the number of workers by 3, increases the daily production capacity from 8,000 to 24,000, and reduces the standard deviation of dough thickness from 0.8mm to 0.3mm.”
Rich Horetski
"Finding a machine that can produce high volumes of plain steamed buns without making them taste like dense bread was our biggest challenge. EsperFoodtech’s low-stress dough rolling system solved this completely. The buns have that authentic, handmade springiness, and the automated rounder ensures every single piece looks identical. Our supermarket orders have increased by 40% since installation."
