Biscuit & Cookie Production Line

Biscuit manufacturing covers several distinct product routes, and the equipment differs meaningfully between them. Hard biscuit is produced by rotary cutting a developed dough; soft biscuit is produced by rotary moulding a short dough; sandwich biscuit adds a cream sandwiching stage after baking; wafer production is a different process again, using batter baked between plates rather than a dough passing through a tunnel oven.

Because of this, a biscuit production project is configured around the product you intend to make rather than selected from a standard line. The decision affects the forming equipment, the oven length and type, and whether cream sandwiching, chocolate coating or cooling tunnels are required.

Rolangear can prepare a project-specific equipment configuration for a biscuit or cookie factory. This covers process planning around your finished product, specification of the equipment each stage requires, equipment sourcing, integration of the equipment into a working line, and a written technical proposal setting out the configuration and scope. Installation, commissioning, operator training and after-sales support are available as part of the project.

This suits businesses planning a new biscuit factory and existing bakeries adding a biscuit line. Rolangear also publishes detailed guides covering the biscuit manufacturing process, wafer and sandwich biscuit production, and a biscuit factory feasibility study, which are linked below.

A biscuit factory requires separated flour handling, production and packaging areas, with the oven and cooling conveyor forming a long continuous run that determines much of the floor plan. Ingredient and finished goods storage are required. Utility requirements — electrical supply, oven fuel or power, and water — depend on the configuration and are established during project planning.
