How to create the sheet dough and bring it to the desired thickness

Industrial Biscuit Sheeting Line: Efficiency and Precision

Optimize your biscuit production with our Biscuit Sheeting Line, designed to ensure a uniform and consistent dough sheet thickness, essential for perfect baking and high-quality finished products. From initial sheet preparation to tension relaxation, every stage of the process is managed with mechanical precision and food-grade materials.



1. 3-Roller Forming Machine: The Foundation of Quality

The 3-Roller Forming Machine is the crucial starting point for creating a uniform dough sheet, ensuring maximum adaptability for different types of dough.

Forming Rollers:
  • Two upper rollers, one smooth and one grooved, made of hardened and ground steel for exceptional durability and a precise finish
  • Smooth lower roller also made of hardened and ground steel
Drive:
  • Independent gearmotor for roller drive, ensuring optimal speed control
Structure and Hygiene:
  • Heavy-gauge steel frame for maximum stability and structural precision
  • AISI 304 stainless steel cover, easy to clean and corrosion-resistant
Dough Handling:
  • Stainless steel hopper with food-grade plastic side panels
Adjustment:
  • Roller spacing adjustable via handwheel with position indicator for repeatable settings
Conveyor:
  • Conveyor belt with independent motor for smooth transfer to the next station
     
 

2. Sheeting Unit: Perfect Thickness

The Sheeting Unit takes the sheet of dough from the former and gradually reduces it to the desired final thickness, maintaining uniformity across the entire width.

Details and Benefits:
  • Sheeting Rollers made of hardened and ground steel for extremely accurate sheeting
  • Heavy-gauge steel frame that houses the rollers and adjustment systems, ensuring a stable and rigid line
  • The distance between the rollers can be precisely adjusted using a handwheel and position indicator
  • Safety and Cleanliness: AISI 304 stainless steel closing and protective casing.
  • Conveyor belt with independent motorization for controlled transfer of the rolled sheet.
     
 

3. Relaxation Belt: Controlled Tension

After lamination, it is essential to allow the dough to "relax" to prevent shrinkage and deformation during cutting and cooking.
 
  • Function: Motorized belt running at a reduced speed, specifically designed to relax the tension induced in the dough sheet during previous stages. This ensures the product maintains the desired shape.
  • Optional: Maximum Automation and Recovery
  • Customize your line with optional features that increase operational precision and reduce waste.
     

 

 The number of sheeting stations is determined by the length of the oven and by the feed speed of the dough sheet

 The rotation speed of rollers and the feed speed of the conveyor belts are adjustable from the touch screen panel, and can easily be saved

 It’s possible to adjust the stations’ speed or enable the “a cascade” regulation: in this way, when you set a station speed, all the prevoius stations will adjust automatically their speed in order to mantain the sheet intact and to avoid tearing and accumulation;

 A photocell at the entrance of every stations check the sheet thickness and corrects the previous stations speed


Roller Automation (Optional)

  • Electronic roller opening management: Adjust the roller gap directly from the control panel, with pinpoint precision
  • System: Geared motor and linear position encoder ensure unparalleled accuracy
  • Advantage: Opening settings can be saved for each recipe, allowing for quick and error-free format changes.
     

     


 Sheeteing should be also in vertical, in order to save space in your factory
