Biscuits Production Flowchart & Machineries
Description
- Ingredient Preparation :
- Weigh and prepare all ingredients ( flour, sugar, fats, leavening agents, eggs, milk, flavorings ).
- Mixing:
- Combine all ingredients in a mixer to form a uniform dough. Ensure thorough mixing for consistency.
- Dough Resting:
- Allow the dough to rest for a specific period to ensure proper hydration and relaxation, which aids in shaping and texture.
- Sheeting:
- Roll out the dough into sheets of desired thickness using a sheeting machine.
- Cutting:
- Cut the dough sheets into desired shapes using a rotary cutter or stamping machine.
- Baking:
- Transfer the cut dough pieces onto baking trays or directly onto the oven conveyor belt.
- Bake the dough pieces in a commercial oven at the specified temperature and duration to achieve the desired texture.
- Cooling:
- Allow the baked biscuits to cool on a cooling conveyor to reach room temperature.
- Quality Control:
- Inspect the biscuits for consistency in shape, size, texture, and taste.
- Conduct moisture content and other quality checks to ensure product standards.
- Packaging:
- Package the cooled biscuits using flow wrapping machines or other appropriate packaging equipment.
- Ensure packaging maintains freshness and protects the biscuits from damage.
- Storage and Distribution:
- Store the packaged biscuits in a cool, dry place.
- Distribute the biscuits to retailers, wholesalers, or directly to consumers.
