Cookies production line process uses different configuration for variety of products with following equipments apart from ovens , mixers and packing machines .
Major process used in cookie production line are - wire cutting , depositing and rotary moulding
Wire Cutting have several different method of cookies production . These categories of products can be manufactured starting from a single machine .The basic machine consists of two grooved rolls which extrude the dough through sets of dies in order to give the dough pieces their shape . A filler block is inserted between the rolls and the die plate in order to equalise dough distribution across the width and provide the optimum weight control . A wire cut mechanism can be added for the production of plain wire cuts or products with inclusions. Rout Press products are cut by means of a guillotine cutter positioned before or after the oven ,depending upon the type of final product .By adding the crimping device soft centred cookies can be formed where the centre filling can be jam or cream .

Depositors can have wire cut mechanism attached or a rotating nozzle mechanism can be added in order to produce swirl or twisted dough piece. Jam depositor can also fitted for cookies product flexibility.
Rotary Moulding consists of set of moulder , pressure roller and extraction roller which releases the cookies with help of knife . Moulder s can have cups of different shapes and size . Moulding process are suitable for high volume production with low baking time .Most of the manufacturers integrate moulding with hard dough cutter variety .
