Key Products for Biscuit Manufacturing – and Why They’re Used
Here’s a breakdown of the most effective components used in biscuit production and how they contribute to the process:
✅ Sanitary 2-Way and 3-Way Ball Valves with Pneumatic Actuators
Used for precise, hygienic control of viscous products like melted chocolate, caramel, syrups, and dough mixtures.
Why use them?
Enable clean switching or diversion of flow paths
EHEDG-compliant for food-grade processes
Ideal for automation in high-speed production environments
✅ Condensate Recovery Steam Skid Systems
A complete solution for energy-efficient heating, featuring dual pumps, condensate collection tanks, and integrated controls.
Why use them?
Reduces energy costs by recycling steam condensate
Ensures consistent temperature for chocolate and caramel melting
Increases efficiency and system longevity
✅ Y-Strainers
Protect downstream equipment from particles, ensuring uninterrupted flow.
Why use them?
Prevents clogging in pumps and valves
Maintains hygiene by removing debris from the product or steam lines
✅ Automated Isolation Valves
Enable safe maintenance without full system shutdown.
Why use them?
Improve safety during line cleaning or servicing
Allow individual line sections to be isolated quickly and efficiently
✅ Non-Return Valves (NRVs)
Prevent reverse flow and protect equipment.
Why use them?
Essential for steam, water, and ingredient lines
Maintains process integrity and prevents contamination
✅ Custom-Built Control Panels
Automated systems are built to integrate with PLCs and HMIs for intelligent plant management.
Why use them?
Reduces operator error
Enables real-time monitoring and efficiency tracking
Supports remote diagnostics and production analytics
✅ Butterfly Valves
Lightweight, cost-effective flow control for larger diameter lines, such as cleaning circuits or water transfer.
Why use them?
Easy to actuate
Compact, space-saving design
Suitable for cleaning in place (CIP) systems
✅ Flow Meters
Ensure the correct quantities of water, chocolate, oils, and additives are used at each stage.
Why use them?
Ensures consistent recipe control
Prevents wastage or incorrect batching
Can be integrated with control systems for automated dosing
✅ Temperature and Pressure Transmitters
Provide real-time system data for chocolate tempering, dough mixing, and steam control.
Why use them?
Enables accurate heating and cooling control
Ensures compliance with food safety temperature limits
✅ Hygienic Fittings and Tubing
Fully welded, polished systems designed for food-grade applications.
Why use them?
Reduces the risk of contamination
Supports regular clean-in-place (CIP) processes
Easy to inspect and maintain
