Automatic Packaging of Cassava Starch Rings and Biscuits: How to Avoid Breakage and Scale Production
Anyone in the dry food industry knows that the crunchiness and fragility of products such as cassava starch rings, sequilhos, sweet and savory biscuits and cookies are both the main appeal for consumers and the biggest challenge for the production line.
Many companies hesitate to automate filling for fear that machine speed will break the products. However, relying on manual weighing and sealing limits commercial growth, causes unwanted weight variations and exposes the food to greater contamination risks.
To solve this problem, Dosetec designed an integrated solution that combines speed with mechanical protection of the food.
The Modules of the High-Integrity Packaging Line
- Gentle Feeding (Vibrating Silo and Cleated Conveyor): The product is fed without jolts. The vibrating silo gently separates the rings and sends them progressively to the hygienic elevating conveyor, which feeds the upper system without damaging the biscuit's structure.
- Exact Dosing (Multihead): The multihead performs combination weighing in fractions of a second, delivering exactly the agreed weight in the package (such as 80g to 500g bags). This protects your plant's legal compliance and prevents raw material losses from overweight.
- The Critical Differentiator: Inclined Trac 600 Packaging Machine: Unlike traditional vertical packaging machines, where the product undergoes a steep free fall, the Inclined Trac 600 carries the product down a gentle deceleration ramp while the bag is closed. The result is a drastic reduction in the breakage rate, ensuring the product reaches the point of sale intact.
- Identification and Compliance (Date Coder and Label Applicator): The line already includes a date coding system for batch/expiry and a label applicator attached to the unwinder, allowing clear plastic reels with front label application in a continuous line, reducing the cost of pre-printed packaging.
Why invest in the Dosetec solution for your biscuit plant?
- Superior Appearance at the POS: Customers buy with their eyes; bags with whole, well-sealed rings increase the perceived value of your brand.
- Production Scalability: Serve large supermarket chains and wholesalers with regular, standardized deliveries.
- Low Operating Cost: Fewer losses and less need for direct labor in the packaging stage.
