Considerations When Designing a Cookie and Cracker Production Line

Designing a cookie and cracker production line requires a strategic and comprehensive approach to ensure efficiency, scalability, and product quality. This presentation explores the key considerations involved in creating a production line that meets current demands while
accommodating future growth and innovation.
Topics covered include:

• Defining product characteristics, packaging needs, and production goals as the
  foundation of the design.
• Selecting baking technologies (DGF, convection, or Emithermic) and determining oven
  specifications to balance throughput and product quality.
• Integrating forming processes, dough consistency, and mixing methods to support
  diverse product requirements.
• Managing post-oven processes (e.g., oil spraying, sandwiching, and enrobing) to
  maintain precision and maximize output

By examining these critical elements, this presentation provides a roadmap for developing production lines that align with business objectives and market demands.
