The global biscuit production market is projected to reach $161 billion by 2027 (Statista), driving demand for precision moulding equipment. This comprehensive guide analyzes 8 critical selection criteria and operational best practices for cookie manufacturers.
Rotary moulders dominate 68% of industrial biscuit production (FoodTech Data 2024). These machines use hardened steel rollers with engraved cavities to shape dough at speeds up to 150 cycles/minute.
Technical specifications:
- Capacity: 800–3,200 kg/hour
- Thickness range: 1.5–25 mm
- Power consumption: 10–25 kW
Case study: A UK biscuit factory increased output by 40% after adopting the Zhengzhou Longer SRT-9800 rotary moulder with AI-driven dough consistency monitoring.

Wire-cut systems excel at producing irregular-shaped cookies like oatmeal raisin. The extrusion process allows:
- 15–45 nozzle changes per shift
- Variable thickness (3–15 mm)
- 98.5% shape consistency
Horizontal formers combine three functions:
1. Dough sheeting (0.5–10 mm precision)
2. Laminating (up to 144 layers)
3. Cutting (laser-guided for ±0.1 mm accuracy)
Specialized for bread-style biscuits, vertical systems:
- Process 4,000–6,000 pieces/hour
- Maintain dough temperature at 18±1°C
- Reduce manual labor by 85%
| Shift Pattern | Daily Output | Recommended Machine |
|---|---|---|
| Single (8hr) | <1 ton | Semi-auto wire-cut |
| Double (16hr) | 1–4 tons | Rotary moulder |
| Continuous (24hr) | >4 tons | Full-automated line |
Conduct 72-hour trials to assess:
| Parameter | Acceptable Range |
|---|---|
| Dough temperature | 18–22°C |
| Fat content | 15–35% |
| Moisture | 18–28% |
| Gluten development | 22–26 BU (Brabender Units) |
Next-gen moulders feature:
- Vision systems: Detect defects at 120 frames/sec
- Predictive maintenance: Sensors monitor:
- Bearing wear
- Motor temperature
- Vibration patterns
- Cloud connectivity: Real-time OEE tracking

| Cost Component | Rotary Moulder | Wire-Cut |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | $85,000 | $48,000 |
| Annual maintenance | $3,200 | $6,500 |
| Energy cost/year | $9,100 | $4,800 |
| Labor cost reduction | 75% | 40% |
- Install variable frequency drives (VFDs): Reduce power use by 18–22%
- Use ceramic-coated moulds: Lower friction = 12% less motor strain
- Implement heat recovery: Capture 65% waste heat for oven preheating
| Frequency | Task | Tools Required |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | Clean scrap residues | Food-grade brushes |
| Weekly | Lubricate chain drives | ISO VG 68 oil |
| Monthly | Inspect mould cavity depth | Laser micrometer |
| Quarterly | Replace wear plates | Torque wrench set |
- Install light curtains: Stop machinery within 8ms of obstruction detection
- Use ERT40 safety relays: Achieve SIL 3 safety integrity level
- Implement lockout-tagout (LOTO) systems: Reduce accidents by 92%
| Machine | Optimal Speed | Tolerance |
|---|---|---|
| Mixer | 500–800 kg/hour | ±5% |
| Moulder | 1,200–2,000 pieces/minute | ±2% |
| Oven | 2.5–4 m/minute | ±0.3 m/min |
| Packaging | 110–130 packs/minute | ±1 pack/min |

Investing in the right bakery moulding machine requires analyzing 12–18 technical parameters across dough properties, output targets, and operational constraints. Prioritize suppliers offering comprehensive lifecycle support and future-ready automation capabilities.

Compact models require 3.5m×2.2m, while full lines need 8m×4.5m including safety zones.
Use a 4-step process:
1. Dry brush removal
2. 65°C water rinse
3. 3% hydrogen peroxide spray
4. Compressed air drying
Yes, with Teflon-coated rollers and reduced-pressure extrusion (adjustable to 5–15 kPa).
Most plants achieve payback in 23–37 months through labor savings and waste reduction.
Check three components:
1. Roller parallelism (tolerance: ≤0.05mm)
2. Dough viscosity (target: 12,000–15,000 cP)
3. Feed hopper level sensors

Abstract In modern biscuit production, the double-layered sheet biscuit production line, with its innovative structure and efficient production process, has become a key piece of equipment for improving production efficiency and product quality. Compared to traditional single-layered biscuits, double-layered sheet biscuits offer a richer and more multi-layered texture, giving consumers new choices in biscuit types. Based on the ideas and concepts of double-layered sheet biscuits, Wenva Machinery, in collaboration with our clients, has incorporated new technologies and ideas into its traditional shortbread and chewy biscuit production line, developing a double-layered sheet biscuit production line. This article aims to introduce in detail the working principle, technical advantages, and significant benefits of the double-layered sheet biscuit production line in terms of product taste, appearance, and packaging efficiency. The article also discusses the equipment's automation control, en
In industrial baking production, the tunnel oven length and its temperature zone structure are key technical factors that determine baking quality. A properly designed oven length directly affects the product’s residence time inside the oven, while multi-zone temperature control ensures stable heat distribution and proper product structure formation. Based on tunnel oven operating principles, this article systematically analyzes the relationship between oven length and baking time, the mechanisms of multi-zone temperature control, and the suitability of different tunnel oven structures for various baked products, providing technical guidance for food factories seeking to optimize baking quality.
