Complete Lines for Crackers, Soda Biscuits and Hard Sweet Biscuits
Sunbeam Hard Dough Lines are designed for the production of crackers, soda biscuits, hard sweet biscuits, marine biscuits and other low-fat, elastic dough products.
Hard dough requires a different process from soft dough. It must be sheeted, laminated, reduced to the right thickness and cut accurately before baking.
Sunbeam brings these stages together into one controlled production line.
Products You Can Produce
From hard-sweet tea biscuits to layered savoury crackers, the line is configured around the product you plan to make.
Marie biscuitsRound, lightly embossed hard-sweet biscuits with fine docking and a crisp edge. 
Petit-beurre style biscuitsRectangular hard-sweet biscuits with scalloped edges and a precise docked pattern. 
Rich tea fingersLong, thin hard-sweet biscuits with a restrained border and even bake. 
Cream crackersSquare, layered crackers with visible lift, docking and toasted blisters. 
Savoury snack crackersRound, salt-finished crackers with a scalloped rim and lightly blistered surface.
From dough to finished cracker, on one connected line.
The dough is sheeted and laminated to create the required structure, then reduced through gauge rollers before rotary cutting. Unused dough is returned to the process. Select a station to see the machine behind it.
Horizontal Dough Mixer
The dough mixer prepares dough with controlled mixing and temperature management.
This is important for doughs with higher fat content, where excess heat can affect consistency and product quality.
