The manufacturing of Jammie Dodgers requires biscuit sandwiching machines. Golden Bake biscuit sandwich machine sandwich biscuits with jam or cream or two ingredients. The machine consists of vibratory conveyors, a cream feed system and a sandwich system. To sandwich biscuits, the biscuits are fed manually to a set of vibratory conveyors. Vibrating feed does not put pressure on biscuits, which avoids breakage of the biscuits. Then the biscuits are stripped one by one by pegs on a chain conveyor. The bottom biscuits are carried under the cream/jam feeder, then the top biscuits are placed to finish the sandwich. The cream/jam is fed from the cream/jam reservoir tank by a cream pump. Our cream feeder can accurately and quantitatively discharge materials, which reduces cream waste and cleaning costs.
