What is the Factory Production Process of Biscuits?

Oct 07, 2023

The factory production process of biscuits mainly includes dough making, biscuits shaping, baking, cooling, packaging, etc. The detailed process is described below.

Dough mixing: Ingredients such as flour, sugar, and others are weighed into a large industrial mixer machine and then mixed together. The dough is then kneaded until it is smooth and elastic.

Biscuits Shaping: The dough is rolled out into a sheet and then cut into different shapes of biscuits using a variety of forming machine. Waste materials are automatically recycled to the dough making section.

Baking: Put the biscuits into a large oven and bake them at high temperature. The temperature and time can be adjusted as needed. Finally the cookies will bake to a golden brown color.

Cooling: After baking, the cookies are cooled on a conveyor belt, where they can be inspected for quality and any cookies that do not meet quality standards will be kicked out. The biscuits are cooled to about 30 degrees before the next packaging process can be carried out.

Packaging: After the biscuits that meet the standard are arranged neatly, they are then put into bags or bottles. And then these biscuits shipped to stores.

In addition to these important steps, there are a number of other steps that may be involved in the biscuit production process, such as:

Pre-mixing: The ingredients for the biscuit dough may be pre-mixed in a separate mixer before being added to the main mixer. This helps to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed in the dough.
Pressing: The dough may be laminated by rolling it out into a sheet, spreading a thin layer of butter on top, and then folding the dough over onto itself. This process is repeated several times to create a layered dough, which gives the biscuits their flaky texture.
Icing or decorating: Some biscuits are iced or decorated after they are baked. This may involve applying a glaze, frosting, or chocolate coating.

The exact biscuit production process may vary depending on the type of biscuits being produced and the equipment that is available. However, the basic steps listed above are common to most biscuit production processes. If you need more details of the biscuit line, please contact us.
