Biscuit Production Plant

Are you looking for innovative, cost-effective equipment for your biscuit production plant? Reading Bakery Systems, headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, manufactures the world’s most advanced commercial equipment for the production of a wide variety of food and snack products.

Reading Bakery Systems serves customers in the global food service and bakery industries, providing high-quality systems for the production of biscuits, crackers, cookies, pretzels, baked potato chips, bread snacks, baked crisps, pet treats and more.

Forming Hard or Soft Biscuits

For forming hard biscuits, the Thomas L. Green 3-Roll Sheeter generates a consistent dough sheet that is ready for additional thickness reduction or lamination. It can receive dough manually, or from an automated handling system. By means of a conveyor, the newly formed dough sheet is transported into the next machine.

The Thomas L. Green Gauging Stations reduce the dough sheet thickness by a by a 3:1 ratio from infeed to discharge. Gauge rolls maintain a consistent dough thickness, and dough flow is accurately controlled to maintain dough density, laminations and finished product weights.

The Thomas L. Green Rotary Cutting Station accurately and continuously cuts scrapless geometric shapes and distinct biscuit shapes out of a single dough sheet. Scrap dough can be re-routed to the dough handling system for reuse. Single roll stations are available, and the system can be designed with two die rolls in a series to accommodate complex shape adjustment or to create different products on the same line.

For soft biscuits, the Rotary Moulder is designed to efficiently produce high definition, three dimensional biscuits, cookies, sandwich cookies, bars and pet treats. The interchangeable engraved brass die roll can be supplied with segmented rings for multiple shapes.

PRISM OVEN

The Thomas L. Green PRISM OVEN is a powerful system for uniform baking of products such as:

  • Hard and soft biscuits
  • Cookies
  • Straight sheeted, dual sheeted and laminated crackers
  • Breads
  • Snack cakes
  • English Muffins
  • Toaster pastries

The PRISM OVEN employs direct gas fired, Emithermic (radiant/convection) and convection oven modules to provide uniform quality, color, taste and texture in your biscuits, crackers and cookies. With over 100 years of successful worldwide installations, customers appreciate this oven’s capacity for repeatable control of time, temperature, humidity and type of heat transfer.

The PRISM OVEN is now available with traditional brick or the new Thermatec High Radiant Ceiling, which replicates the thermal emissivity and storage of fire brick oven ceilings by using specially treated, anti-corrosive steel backed by a high-density insulating board. The Thermatec Ceiling radiates heat as effectively as fire bricks, is less expensive, and does not need the maintenance that fire bricks require.
