Multi-Lane Optical Pita, Khobz & Tortilla Counting & Stacking Systems

Count cooled pitas and tortillas at up to 40–50 loaves/min/lane across 2–6 lanes into neat aligned 4–12 count stacks feeding flow wrappers or wicket baggers.

Replacing Manual Counting Hands With High-Speed Optical Drop-Baskets

Manual pita counting is repetitive, inconsistent (6-packs accidentally leaving with 5 or 7 loaves), and the primary vector for hand-borne mold spores touching cooled crust. Within bakery bagging and count-stacking, multi-lane optical count-stackers accept single-file lanes of cooled rounds (10–30 cm diameter), verify diameter/roundness, accumulate exact counts (1 to 24 pcs) inside cushioned drop-baskets, and release aligned vertical stacks onto a phased indexing cross-conveyor.

One 4-lane servo count-stacker handles 9,000–12,000 loaves/hour (25–33 finished 6-pack stacks/min) with zero human contact.

Packing pita warmer than 34 °C traps condensation droplets on inner film walls, triggering surface mold within 72 hours.

Automatic Count-Stacker Architecture Specs

Throughput and loaf-dimension ranges across 2, 4, and 6-lane stackers:

Stacker Configuration Loaf Rate / Lane Loaf Diameter Stack Count / Height Output (6-Ct Stacks)
2-Lane Compact Stacker Up to 45–55 loaves/min 100 – 260 mm 2–12 pcs (<=110 mm) 15 – 18 stacks/min
4-Lane Mid-Bakery Up to 45–55 loaves/min 100 – 260 mm 2–12 pcs (<=110 mm) 30 – 36 stacks/min
6-Lane Tunnel-Oven Up to 50 loaves/min 100 – 240 mm 2–15 pcs (<=120 mm) 45 – 50 stacks/min

Speed comparison across wicketed poly baggers, box-motion MAP flow wrappers, 110 mm tall-stack wrappers, and 230–300 PPM lines
Count-stacking 6 pitas per bag means a 600 loaves/min tunnel oven requires a 100 stacks/min wrapper—plus 20% V-curve surge.

Flatbread & Bakery Engineering Notes

  • Double-Loaf Overlap Detector: Height/shadow sensors catch two pitas riding piggyback off the spiral cooler and divert overlaps to a rework chute before mis-counting a stack.
  • Bi-Parting Cushioned Catch Flaps: Servo-timed dual catch doors square round edges gently as each pita drops 25 mm, turning wobbly loaves into cylindrical stacks ready for wrapping.
  • Tool-Free Guide-Rail Width Handwheels: Crank lane guides inward from 22 cm flatbread to 14 cm pocket pita in under 5 minutes.

Shelf-life, max stack height, reclosure, and film cost comparison across BOPP flow wrap, MAP barrier HFFS, and wicketed LDPE bags
BOPP rollstock holds moisture 4–6× tighter than LDPE (WVTR 3.9–6.2 vs 16–23 g/m²/24hr) at roughly half the per-pack film cost.
