Lines can be fully automatic with recipe driven control systems or semi automatic The machines are suitable for many different dough types from the soft, hard and tough cracker doughs. Indeed, over many years of specifying and installing lines, our design staff have encountered all types of doughs and can recommend the changes in machine specification to provide an efficient operation

Other specialised lines can be supplied with or without individual – additional Sheeting Units to produce multi-colour / faloured products, as well as Garibalidi & Pouchcenter filled type products)

Cut Sheet Laminating

3RS LaminatorThe Cut Sheet Laminating principle pioneered & developed by SVBS has now become the norm the baking industry, and has many advantages over folding lamination systems. That is including the uniformity of the dough sheet thickness & weight across the full width of the Forming Line, and at the same time ensuring the dough sheet going in to the first Gauging Unit of the Forming Line, is totally relaxed across & along to give optimum control of the final biscuit shape.

3 Roll or Combination Sheeters

3R Comb SheeterCan be installed in a production line where sheeted and laminated products are produced.
The combination sheeter has a moveable feed roller which can manoeuvre out of the way to allow the sheeter unit to act as a gauge roll unit

4 Roll Sheeter

4 R SheeterCan be used as part of a Laminator or Sheet Forming System, to give additional controlled reduction and smooth top & bottom surfaces to the dough sheet. Or where factory space and investment cost is a limitaiton, the unit could be added to the Forming Line, in place of other types of Sheeting Systems.

Gauge Roll Unit

Rotary-MouldingThe gauge roll unit reduces the thickness of a continuous dough sheet accurately, usually after a sheeting or laminating unit. The Gauge Roll Unit retains the established principles of accurate dough gauging utilising chilled cast iron precision ground rollers, mounted in heavy duty spherical roller bearings. The Gauge Roll unit is available in two models – a standard model with 305mm diameter rollers – and a heavy duty model with 405mm diameter rollers.

Rotary Cutting & Embossing

Further EquipmentThe continuous dough sheet passes through the rotary cutter where, using a single combined embossing/cutting roller or separate embossing and cutting rollers; the biscuit or cracker shape is cut into the dough sheet. Each neoprene coated anvil roller can be independently raised and lowered, with side to side adjustment for precise operation, full synchronisation of the embossing and cutting rollers, and Pneumatically operated cut
on – cut off facility.

The Rotary Cutter unit is available in two models – a standard model with 200mm diameter rollers – and a heavy duty model with 300mm diameter rolls

Scrap Pickup and Return System

Rotary CuttingAfter cutting, the combined scrap pickup and return system collects the scrap lattice from the cutting unit by separating the cut biscuit shape and scrap lattice via two separate conveyors. The scrap pickup conveyor transfers the scrap lattice onto a cross conveyor before transferring it onto an inclined side scrap return conveyor. Here the scrap dough is cut into small pieces before re-introducing the dough into the hopper of the sheeter or laminator unit.
