Biscuit Dough Piece Forming Machine

Description for the cookie forming machine - rotary molder

The rotary moulder is designed to form and extract soft dough cookies onto cotton canvas and after that to feed them to 400 x 600 mm. trays. Main components of the rotary moulding machine are the forcing roll, moulding roller, extraction roll and scraper. To reduce pressure differences and to minimize the chance of bridging of the dough, the hopper should not be filled completely. Scraping knife position is important. High position will prevent overfilling the cavity on moulding roller and the biscuit dough piece shape will not be gained well; also extraction issues may occur. Low position will overfill the cavity and so the formed dough piece will be extracted with a tail of dough. All speeds are adjustable via VFDs. The top of the reservoir is with a grid for safety purposes. The machine is equipped with a tray feeder, a tray conveyor, rotating rod to scrap the bottom of formed cookies. Advantages of moulding are that it is not necessary to form a dough sheet and there is no cutter scrap that has to be recycled.
