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
