What Is the Bakery Biscuit Manufacturing Process?

The bakery biscuit manufacturing process refers to the systematic production of biscuits through a series of mechanical and thermal operations. These typically include:

Ingredient Mixing、Dough Forming and Shaping、Baking、Cooling、Packaging

Each of these stages relies on specific machinery, making a well-integrated biscuit production line vital for streamlined manufacturing.

Step-by-Step Breakdown of the Biscuit Production Line

Ingredient Mixing

The process starts with precise measurement and mixing of ingredients such as flour, sugar, fats, and water. Industrial mixers ensure uniform blending to form dough with consistent texture.

Recommended Equipment:

  • Spiral or planetary mixers
  • Continuous dough mixers

Dough Forming and Shaping

Once mixed, the dough moves to the forming stage. Depending on the biscuit type, this may involve sheeting, cutting, or depositing.

Common Forming Equipment:

  • Wire-cut machines
  • Sheet rollers and cutting systems

This stage determines the size, shape, and weight of the biscuits.

Baking

The shaped biscuits are conveyed into industrial ovens where baking transforms the dough into crisp, golden treats.

Typical Ovens Include:

  • Tunnel ovens (gas or electric)

Precise control of temperature, time, and airflow is essential in this automated baking process.

Cooling

Post-baking, biscuits must cool at ambient temperature to stabilize their texture and prevent condensation in packaging.

Cooling Equipment:

  • Multi-tier cooling conveyors
  • Ambient air or forced air systems

Cooling usually takes place over 8–15 minutes, depending on biscuit thickness and type.

Packaging

Finally, biscuits are packaged to preserve freshness and improve shelf appeal. Automation ensures fast, sanitary, and damage-free packaging.

Packaging Solutions Include:

  • Pillow packing machines
  • Flow wrapping machines
