The process yields a low-moisture baked good that’s very stable during extended storage, making it ideal as a ration of the Roman Empire army.Biscuits are really delicious and popular. This article will take you to see the industrialized production process of biscuits.

Mixing

The mixing of all ingredients can be done in one or more steps, depending on the type of biscuit to be made. The mixing temperature and the consistency of the dough play an important role in the quality of biscuits.The multi-step mixing process is preferred because it can make a uniform dough that is not completely unfolded.

Forming

Extruding, folding and sheeting dough to a predetermined thickness.(Every step should leave space for dough relaxing) .Then rotary cut the dough to become raw biscuits.The rotary cutter, a rotating roller with rotating cups, is then used to make the desired biscuits ready to bake.

Baking

The molded wet raw biscuits are supplied to the tunnel oven for continuous baking.Roughly,there are four temperature zone in the oven.

Cooling

The baked biscuits will be on a cooling trip on the belt conveyor.A ratio of cooling to baking time should be at least 1.5:1 for better water evaporation.

Packaging

Biscuits are stacked by penny stacker or star wheel stacker(depends on the type of biscuit) and fed to packing table or packing machines.
