Biscuit Production Line and Factory Setup

A biscuit production line is a complete industrial system designed to mix dough, form biscuits, bake, cool and package biscuits under controlled process conditions. The line produces plain, cream-filled and specialty biscuits depending on the selected forming and packaging equipment.

From an industrial perspective, biscuit manufacturing is important because it combines precise dough preparation, accurate forming, controlled baking and reliable packaging to achieve consistent texture, colour and shelf life. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered, sized and integrated.

Primary materials typically include flour, sugar, fat, milk powder, baking powder and packaging materials. The core machinery set consists of flour sifters, sugar mills, dough mixers, forming machines, tunnel ovens (200–250 °C), cooling conveyors, stackers, cream applicators and packaging machines.

The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new biscuit plant as well as existing operators who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that requires technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey biscuit plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The biscuit line is engineered as an integrated process system covering ingredient preparation, dough mixing, forming, baking, cooling, optional cream filling, stacking and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase.

Main machinery groups include sifters, mixers, forming machines, tunnel ovens, cooling conveyors, stackers, cream applicators and packaging machines. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, gas and process water.

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation. Quality control covers moisture, colour, weight and package integrity.

Manufacturing Process

  1. Ingredient Preparation – Flour is sifted and sugar is milled.
  2. Dough Mixing – Ingredients are mixed and developed.
  3. Forming – Dough is formed into biscuit shapes.
  4. Baking – Biscuits are baked in a tunnel oven at 200–250 °C.
  5. Cooling and Stacking – Product is cooled and stacked.
  6. Optional Cream Filling and Packaging – Cream may be applied and product is packed.

Machinery & Equipment

  • Sifter, Sugar Mill and Mixer – Prepares and mixes ingredients. Position: first stages. Importance: uniformity of dough. Quality impact: incomplete mixing causes texture variation. Maintenance: screens, blades and drives. Sahi Rasa support covers design, installation, repair and spare parts.
  • Forming Machine – Shapes the biscuits. Position: after mixing. Importance: appearance and weight accuracy. Quality impact: inaccurate forming causes weight variation. Maintenance: moulds, cutters and conveyors.
  • Tunnel Oven – Bakes at 200–250 °C. Position: core stage. Importance: colour, texture and moisture. Quality impact: incorrect temperature profile affects quality. Maintenance: burners, belts and temperature controls.
  • Cooling Conveyor, Stacker, Cream Applicator and Packaging Machine – Finish and pack the product. Position: end of line. Importance: handling and presentation. Quality impact: incomplete cooling or packing causes quality issues. Maintenance: conveyors, applicators and sealing systems.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical areas include raw-material storage, mixing, forming, baking, cooling, cream application, packaging, quality control, utilities and staff facilities. Exact area is determined during engineering.

Utilities

  • Electricity: 380 V three-phase, 100–200 kW
  • Gas: 50–100 m³/h
  • Water: 10–20 m³/day

Turnkey Factory Setup

An investor can start from an empty site. The project can be accompanied through feasibility, engineering, design, machinery, installation, commissioning, training and commercial production.

EPC & PMC

Projects can be executed under EPC or PMC approaches within defined contracts.

Machinery Repair

Existing biscuit lines can request inspection, repair and spare-parts support for mixers, formers, ovens and packaging machines.

Machinery Overhaul & Refurbishment

Older equipment can be overhauled and control systems upgraded.

Capacity Expansion

Capacity can be increased by upgrading ovens or forming capacity.

Industrial Automation

PLC control of temperature, speed and packaging is typical.

Supply Chain

The Supply Chain Department supports flour, sugar, fat and packaging supply.

Packaging

Primary packs, labelling and secondary packaging are integrated according to market requirements.

Branding & Product Development

Support for formulation development, packaging design and branding is available when required.

Market & Country Sections

Services are available in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan and other listed regional markets.
