Golden Bake, the baking equipment division of EVERGROWING MACHINERY COMPANY LIMITED, showcased its latest biscuit production technologies at the 140th Canton Fair. The company highlighted an intelligent ingredient handling system through a detailed 3D production line model. The solution connects automated storage, ingredient dosing, pneumatic conveying, mixing, forming, and baking. It demonstrates how industrial automation can improve production consistency, workplace safety, and manufacturing efficiency.
Industrial Automation Connects Every Stage of Biscuit Production
At the 140th Canton Fair, Golden Bake presented an integrated approach to biscuit factory automation. Its system coordinates ingredient preparation with downstream production equipment. Therefore, manufacturers can manage material flow more efficiently and reduce interruptions between processing stages.
The system addresses a common production challenge: delivering accurate ingredient quantities at the correct time. Manual handling often creates delays, weighing inconsistencies, and unnecessary dust exposure. Golden Bake combines automated material feeding and control systems to address these issues.
The company’s marketing manager highlighted three priorities: operational safety, product quality, and production efficiency. Intelligent ingredient handling helps reduce manual weighing errors and flour dust exposure. Moreover, coordinated production controls support more consistent manufacturing operations.
Automated Flour Handling Reduces Dust Exposure
Flour preparation involves several operations, including bag emptying, screening, conveying, and storage. Manual tipping can release airborne particles and increase contamination risks. Flour dust also presents a potential combustible dust hazard under certain conditions.
Golden Bake integrates a bag-emptying station with a 30-mesh screening system. Dual-suction negative-pressure extraction captures airborne dust during material transfer. The feeding station handles up to 50 kg of flour per minute.
A pulse-cleaned cartridge separator uses food-grade antistatic filter media. A rotary valve controls material discharge at the hopper outlet. Together, these components support continuous feeding while managing airborne flour particles.
Pneumatic Conveying Supports Automated Material Storage
After screening, a pneumatic conveying system transfers flour through enclosed pipelines. The system can transport ingredients between different factory floors. This arrangement reduces manual material movement and supports centralized ingredient storage.
The system includes a 1,000 kg buffer hopper. Gravity separation and filtration help control dust inside the storage unit. Meanwhile, intermittent bottom agitation helps prevent material bridging and discharge blockages.
Golden Bake states that its powder handling and electrical systems follow the explosion-protection requirements of GB 50058-2014 and AQ 3009-2007. These design provisions address hazardous dust environments within the specified installation scope.
Automated Ingredient Dosing Improves Recipe Consistency
Accurate ingredient measurement directly affects dough characteristics and finished biscuit quality. Variations in flour, sugar, and fat ratios can change water absorption and dough strength. Consequently, inconsistent dosing may affect biscuit thickness, texture, and forming performance.
Golden Bake’s automated dosing solution completes a weighing cycle in approximately three minutes. Its stated weighing accuracy reaches ±200 g. This capability helps manufacturers manage ingredient proportions during high-volume production.
Different biscuit products require different ingredient sequences and processing parameters. Cookie production may prioritize the feeding order of sugar, fat, and flour. Cracker manufacturing may require staged mixing and fermentation.
Therefore, manufacturers can configure the ingredient handling process according to their recipes and production equipment. This flexibility supports different biscuit manufacturing requirements without assuming identical processing conditions across product lines.
Modular Factory Automation Supports Existing Production Lines
Many bakery manufacturers prefer upgrading existing facilities rather than replacing entire production lines. Industry survey figures reported by Baking Business indicate that 32% of surveyed bakery businesses focus on upgrades and retrofits. Another 22% plan to introduce additional equipment or production lines by 2026.
Golden Bake offers a modular ingredient feeding system for existing biscuit manufacturing facilities. Engineers can adapt the configuration to factory layouts and installed equipment. This approach allows manufacturers to introduce automation without necessarily rebuilding their entire production infrastructure.
For new factories and major capacity expansions, Golden Bake also provides turnkey biscuit production solutions. Its services cover facility planning, equipment arrangement, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning. This approach connects individual processing machines within a coordinated production environment.
Biscuit Manufacturing Equipment and Integrated Production Solutions
Golden Bake presented several baking technologies at the 140th Canton Fair. These included a multifunctional cookie production machine and a cream puff production line.
Its broader equipment portfolio also covers biscuit sandwich machines, biscuit creaming machines, and wafer stick machines. These machines serve different production processes and product requirements.
When manufacturers combine ingredient preparation, mixing, forming, baking, and downstream handling, they can establish a more coordinated production line. Industrial control systems help manage equipment sequences and material movement. Depending on the project, PLC-based control architectures can support machine-level automation and process coordination.
Digital Control Systems Support Production Efficiency
Biscuit manufacturers increasingly consider automation when improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Coordinated equipment operation can help reduce material delays and production interruptions. In addition, digital monitoring can support production data collection and process analysis.
Golden Bake continues to expand its international service network. The company aims to help customers improve equipment utilization and extend the service life of production assets.
For larger manufacturing facilities, the integration of industrial automation, PLC control, and supervisory systems can support centralized production management. However, the final control architecture depends on the factory’s equipment configuration and operational requirements.
