Complete Lines for Cookies, Shortbread and Moulded Biscuits
Sunbeam Soft Dough Lines are designed for the continuous production of cookies, shortbread, moulded biscuits and other soft-dough products.
The line handles doughs with higher fat and sugar content, where consistent dough temperature, accurate forming and controlled baking are essential to product quality.
From dough mixing to cooling, each stage works as one connected production system.
Products You Can Produce

How the Soft Dough Line Works
The process begins with controlled dough preparation. The dough is then formed into biscuits, baked in a continuous oven and cooled before moving to packing.
Each stage is synchronised through the line control system to maintain consistent production.
Line Machinery
Horizontal Dough Mixer
The dough mixer prepares soft 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.
Rotary Moulder
The rotary moulder forms the dough into the required biscuit shape, pattern and weight.
It helps produce biscuits with consistent dimensions, clean detail and repeatable quality across the production run.
Tunnel Oven
The tunnel oven provides continuous, controlled baking.
Oven settings can be configured around the biscuit type, required colour, texture, moisture level and production output.
Cooling Conveyor
After baking, biscuits move through a cooling system that gradually reduces product temperature before handling or packing.
This helps maintain biscuit quality and supports reliable downstream packaging.
PLC Automation and Controls
The full line is managed through PLC-based controls with a touchscreen interface. Operators can monitor key settings, coordinate equipment speeds and maintain a stable production flow, with online support and diagnostics for faster troubleshooting and assistance.
