Biscuit Forming
Soft Biscuits - The Thomas L. Green Rotary Moulder produces high definition, three dimensional shapes by pressing dough into a die roll. Engraved brass die rolls are interchangeable and can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multiple shape production.
Hard Biscuits – The Thomas L. Green 3-Roll Sheeter generates a consistent dough sheet ready for further thickness reduction. Gauging Stations then ensure a gentle reduction in sheet thickness prior to shape forming. Dough flow is accurately controlled to maintain dough density, laminations and finished product weights.
Geometic & Distinct Shapes –The Thomas L. Green Rotary Cutting Station accurately and continuously cuts discrete product shapes out of a single dough sheet. An integrated conveyor system moves product through a rotating die assembly. Operators can adjust the pressure on the dough sheet to ensure a thorough cut and consistent piece production. Scrap dough is removed and discharged from the machine and can be re-routed to the dough handling system for reuse.
