The hard biscuit is one of the first examples of packaged bakery products that can be remembered. The same etymology of the word biscuit comes from the Latin “bis coctus” which means cooked twice, to indicate a dry product, suitable to be preserved for a long time. Sailors’ biscuits were the first example of printed biscuits and in some areas the laminated biscuit is also called “biscuit de mer”. These products have a fairly well-aerated structure with a rather low specific weight: therefore they are well suited to being soaked in hot drinks.
They are fairly crunchy biscuits, just hard on the first bite and then crumbly on the palate, leaving the typical vanilla flavor in the mouth. Within the family of dry biscuits we find the typical French “Marie” and the “Petit Beurre” , the English “Oswego”, “gem biscuits” and “cabin”, but also the families of “cream crackers”, the “soda crackers “,” snack crackers“ and ”water crackers“. The main ingredient of this family of products is flour and its types, since the dry product is mainly
composed of flour and water, with a modest amount of sugar and fat.
In any type of laminated biscuit there are the following process phases: the preparation of the dough, its fermentation or stasis (in the case of some crackers or semi-hard biscuits), the formation of the dough, its sheeting (in the case of some recipes), the reduction of the thickness of the final sheet and subsequent cutting, baking and cooling before packaging. Laser provides an integrated solution of the whole process from the beginning to the end with the experience of more than 500 lines installed in the world in the last 20 years. This allows to obtain an optimal result, constant over time and efficient in all steps.
The entire system is managed completely automatically by one or more PLCs. The software allows to manage the recipe and production parameters and also be connected to the customer?s company networks if necessary. Extensive customization and on-line assistance give the customer a support according to his production needs.
