HG Automatic Filled Cookie / Sandwich Cookies Production Line
Cookie Forming, Filled Cookies and Two-Piece Sandwich Cookies
HG Filled Cookie / Sandwich Cookie Production Line covers two cookie structures with distinct forming and filling operations.
Filled-cookie process: Dough & Filling Feeding → Co-Extrusion / Encrusting → Cutting & Forming → Baking. The filling is enclosed in the dough before baking.
For two-piece sandwich cookies, prepare the dough, form, bake and cool the cookies before depositing filling onto a base cookie and placing the top cookie.
Select the equipment and quality checks for each intended product.
Filled cookies and sandwich cookies are among the popular snack food products in global bakery markets due to their rich flavors, attractive appearance, and high added value. The final configuration depends on factors such as cookie shell geometry, surface pattern, shell fragility, cookie size, filling characteristics and required filling quantity.
Cookie Production and Filling Routes
Cookie-making process: Cookie dough preparation → product-matched forming → baking → cooling.
Filled-cookie process: Dough & Filling Feeding → Co-Extrusion / Encrusting → Cutting & Forming → Baking. The filling is enclosed in the dough before baking.
Two-piece sandwich-cookie process after baking and cooling: Baked-cookie feeding and orientation → filling deposition on the base cookie → top-cookie placement → alignment and gentle pressing → setting or cooling as required → inspection as configured → packaging connection.
