How easy it is to organize the production of cookies

The production of sugar biscuits is an attractive investment. Despite the rather high level of competition in the industry, there is a steady growth in demand, on average by 8-10% annually. When organizing production, it is necessary to come up with an original recipe in order to compare favorably with competitors. The automated biscuit production line provides opportunities for improvisation with shape, additives, filling. If the production of bakery or confectionery products has already been organized, the production of biscuits will diversify the assortment, in addition, it will be possible to save on some production mechanisms.

Where to begin?

Before starting activities, you should consider some organizational issues:

• what types of cookies will be produced;
• study manufacturing technology;
• choose equipment;
• choose a room for the workshop;
• work out options for marketing products;
• make preliminary calculations of the cost and profitability of production.

To begin with, it would be advisable to produce well-known types of cookies, the main advantage is to make high quality products. With high competition in the industry, consumers can be attracted either by low cost or quality.

It is ideal, of course, to combine these two indicators, but in no case should the price be reduced at the expense of quality. With the help of one technological line for the production of biscuits, it is possible to produce various types of biscuits:

• sugar;
• biscuit;
• crackers;
• lingering.

The assortment can be diversified with various shapes, sizes, fillings, additives. It is necessary to study the market, competitors' products and choose new types of cookies or traditional ones, but in new interpretations.

Cookie making technology

The preparatory stage consists in weighing all the necessary ingredients, according to the recipe and dipping into the bowl of the dough mixer. The sequence of adding raw materials is determined by the manufacturing technology of each type of biscuit.

There are two main types of dough - sand-removable and sand-jigging. Removable sweet dough contains more sugar and fat, and it turns out plastic. The main ingredients (flour, sugar, vegetable oil, water) are mixed for 10 minutes, then egg powder, condensed milk, vanillin are added according to the recipe and kneaded for another 15 minutes.

At the next stage, the dough is divided into portioned pieces for further rolling and forming blanks. If a filling is provided, the next step is to add it.

Then the blanks are sent to the oven for baking, usually this process lasts 10-15 minutes. The finished biscuits are cooled, if necessary, glazed and sent to the packaging line.

Shortbread-jigging dough is prepared using a different technology - at the initial stage, margarine and sugar are mixed, the remaining ingredients are gradually introduced, and flour last. The mass turns out to be liquid, like sour cream, it is mixed in a mixer at high speeds to saturate it with oxygen. The formation of blanks from such a test is carried out using syringes or pastry bags. To diversify the range, various curly nozzles are used. The line for the production of sugar biscuits has a special jigging machine, its functions provide for various configurations of products, the possibility of filling with stuffing. At the next stage, the blanks are sent to the furnace at a temperature of 220 ° C and the production process is completed. Finished products are cooled and packaged.

Production equipment

The following equipment is used to carry out the process of making cookies:

• flour sifting device;
• dough mixer or mixer;
• bake;
• packaging apparatus.

The flour sifter is designed to remove impurities, metal particles from the composition, as well as to fill the flour with oxygen. Characteristics:

• power - 1.1 kW;
• voltage - 380 V;
• productivity - 1250 kg / h;
• bunker capacity - 120 kg;
• weight - 293 kg;
• cost - 50,000 rubles.

A dough mixer with a Z-shaped nozzle is designed to combine all the ingredients into a homogeneous mass. Characteristics:

The dough dumping machine, as part of a biscuit production line, is used in the manufacture of such types of biscuits as: kurabye, oatmeal, eclairs, sticks, biscuit. Characteristics:

The baking plant consists of several baking modules, a feeding and receiving table, an exhaust system and a control panel. The baking modules are interconnected by a moving conveyor, which looks like a tunnel. Characteristics:

The packaging mechanism is used in the case of packing finished products in a shrinkable polyethylene film. Characteristics:

• power - 5.5 kW;
• voltage - 220 V;
• work speed - 5 m / min;
• dimensions - 12000 * 750 * 630 mm;
• cost - 120,000 rubles.

In this configuration, you can buy a line for the production of cookies for 1,660,000 rubles. Additionally, scales for raw materials, a sink, hearth sheets, a thermometer, and knives will be required, which will increase the cost of the line by about 100,000 rubles.

Production room

When preparing the premises, one should take into account the total length of the production line, as well as additional equipment - sinks, tables, refrigerators. A workshop of less than 100 m2 will be cramped, in addition, a warehouse for raw materials and finished products, an office space, and household rooms should be prepared. In the production workshop, it is necessary to ensure sanitary and hygienic conditions that meet all the requirements for safe production. To service the automated mini-line for the production of cookies, you will need three-phase sockets with a voltage of 380 and 220 V, water supply, sewerage, and ventilation. The workshop should be heated, it is better to use an air conditioning system.

Production financial plan

For the organization of activities for the production of biscuits, capital investments in equipment, preparation of premises, and the purchase of vehicles will be required.

• the price of the biscuit production line is 1,750,000 rubles;
• preparation of the premises - 100,000 rubles;
• transportation costs - 100,000 rubles;
• total - 1,950,000 rubles.

It is planned to produce 80 tons of cookies per month.

Production cost:

• raw materials - 2,400,000 rubles;
• salary - 100,000 rubles;
• rent and utility bills - 80,000 rubles;
• other organizational expenses - 50,000 rubles;
• total - 2,630,000 rubles.

The selling price of 1 ton of cookies is 40,000 rubles.
Monthly revenue will be - 80 * 40,000 = 3,200,000 rubles.
Profit - 3,200,000 - 2,630,000 = 570,000 rubles.

If one third of the profit is attributed to cover capital investments, then the payback period will be 11 months. This is a fairly high figure, but in order to reach it, it is necessary to properly organize the sale of products, conclude agreements with large wholesale companies and private distributors in advance.
