Biscuits, cookies and crackers making processes can be summed up in various main categories.
Hard sweet biscuits are manufactured on forming lines which consist of a regular or compact sheeter, a set of gauge rolls and the line ends with the rotary cutter, of the one or two roll type, the scrap pick up and the return conveyor.
Crackers are manufactured using the same equipment as described above, with the addition of a vertical or cut & sheet laminator between the sheeter and the first gauge roll.
Rotary moulded: here the recipe has more fat but less water - dough pieces are formed by extraction from a special mould. This is the most commonly used type of biscuit for sandwiched biscuits, due to the strength of its structure.
Soft dough & cookies: it includes an ample family of products which are manufactured using two main systems: rotary moulding and wire cut/depositing. The latter can be further split into two more sub-categories according to the type of process machine used for production.
Wire Cut Machine
Extrudes dough from its dies, it can be cut by a reciprocating wire in the case of wire cut product.
Alternatively, strings of continuous dough are collected onto a conveyor underneath and cut before or after the oven in the case of cut and press production.
This is a flexible machine as it can also be fitted with extra devices for making more sophisticated products, such as those with a soft center of jam or cream.
Flexibility in one unit.
Depositor
Handles very soft dough which can be deposited directly onto the oven band.
A wire cut mechanism can be added to the basic unit in order to give more flexibility to this forming unit.
A jam topper can be mechanically synchronized to the unit to drop jam, jellies or cream onto the dough shells before baking.
