Arepa Production Systems
Traditional Taste. Engineered Precision.
Arepas are more than just food—they’re a cultural staple cherished across South America. At Casa Herrera, we’ve embraced the challenge of automating arepa production while preserving the authentic flavor, texture, and form that make this product so special.
Through careful adaptation of our baking and forming technology, we’ve developed a solution that replicates the traditional arepa—offering a delicate bake and consistent result every time.
Perfecting the Bake
Unlike other flatbreads or corn-based products, arepas require a controlled bake process that locks in moisture while forming a crisp, golden crust. Casa Herrera’s engineering team customized our systems to accommodate the specific characteristics of arepa dough—achieving results that mirror handmade products from Venezuela, Colombia, and beyond.
Whether your arepas are thick or thin, plain or filled, fried or baked, we offer equipment tailored to match your style and production needs. Features include:
Corn cooking tanks, gas or steam. Drum corn washers. Lava stone corn grinders. Sigma blade mixers. Masa transfer systems. Arepa sheeter heads. Arepa ovens. Arepa cooling conveyors. Arepa counter stackers.
Whether you need the complete line or a single piece of equipment, this is your best option. Equipment is custom designed to your specific needs.
Adapted for Authenticity
Our arepa systems include:
- Custom Sheeters – Shape dough with accurate size, thickness, and texture
- Specialty Ovens – Deliver the perfect bake with even heat distribution and moisture control
